From the News article today...

Adams collaborated with Krueger to build the roster, as the former Switzerland National Team coach handpicked a few of the additions during the 2020 offseason, including Hall, winger Tobias Rieder, center Cody Eakin and defenseman Brandon Davidson, among others.


Let's see what Adams does without the influence of the biggest shyster ever to coach this team.

Spun to put more blame on the guy they fired, Terry is 0-for on free agent acquisitions for a decade.

The Krueger influence was well documented and talked about prior to today's article.

Depending on price I think im gonna do something different and have a food truck come to my house for my daughters B-day party

This would be a lot of fun. I live on a main road so between this and parking, things could get a bit dicey. The cheesey chic truck could be cool though.

I'm not trying to down play the disaster that was the Krueger, I don't want to move the spot light away from Terry either though.

🤣🤣🤣🤣
Birthday Parties are always fun. Yeah we are getting ready for my Daughter's 21st Birthday, man where's the time go. We ended up going with Chick and Pizza Works, got a Buffet package. Buying all the booze is the expensive part. Hope it goes good for you guys.

21 I can't imagine. Spent that birthday facedown outside the RIT apartments.

Do you think when Adams learned that Girgs meant lion-eater he immediately signed him long term?

Buckle up ladies and germs, this is the real entertainment of the Buffalo Sabres, were in the best time of the year to be a fan! Enjoy all!

"I just really want to be successful and make Terry and Kim happy, not the fans, or the kids... in fact, (frank) them kids, I just want my billionaire bosses to give me the .75 cent raise they promised for my yearly review. Aren't Kim's blueberry muffins just the best"

Not directed to you, but I just don't get these reports of us getting a good prospect or even a pick as high as a 2nd for a guy on an expiring deal. How is this possible?

I don't know, Gerbe's hears he's still well regarded around the league. Still think he could be used with Eichel or Rhino to up a package. Anaheim, LA, Calgary could all use a RD. Well LA could use both sides.

Terry and Kim deserve it, for every sh!t decision they've made over ten years.

Thats a lot of fancy goals...

Botterill and Murray sucked at their jobs, but at least they had spines. Both were fired for not kissing the ring and going along with every asinine thing the owners wanted.

Adams number 1 goal as GM is to maintain the owners lifestyles

Flip them to keep to stocking the cupboards.

Spector's has Pittsburgh possible interest in Risto with a 2nd and prospect as assets possibly coming back.

Shopping from the Pens is like when they raid a house in Walking Dead and they find an old can of beans as the last food item in the house.

Don't need one, the other team wouldn't have the puck!

Go with Ullmark and Drieger for2 years, see what happens

Worry about it in 3 years.
Identify your core guys...
lock-up the key 3 or 4 to long term deals
Sign a couple 3 4 on bridge deals
Trade complimentary players for younger assets

Could get Wild!!!
- Buff36

speaking of wild, they could make a bold move...getting jack echl could very well put them atop the western conference and turn them into a serious cup contender...

plus, risto to the jets makes too much sense...again...still
