for sure. also, they would never admit they’re losing on purpose but the personnel decisions…a coach who’s best attribute is developing youth, and a draft that focused on players that need a lot of development but have big, exciting ceilings. call it what you will…the goal is to….let’s call it, not winning the cup this year.

I’m fine with that, I just don’t want it to be as bad as the year to get Jack. I think that did hurt the org.

Adams should tell Fish to stuff it or Jack can enjoy his next 5 years here in sunny Buffalo 😁

So this tank is fine, but the last tank is what ruined this franchise.

The last tank lasted 6 years…. Hopefully this one is a quick turn around

Fish and Adams are at it, fish is not happy, blaming this on the Sabres.

As of right now, it’s different. It was clear TM was trading anyone that could stop a puck.

I don’t want to watch implode an NHL team, I don’t mind signing low cost place holders to develop your future, that’s different.

Is that the one in AZ?

They want Creed to perform at halftime.

Not a good agent to go at it with. Adams will have to deal with fish with other players… this’ll be fun!

I feel you, but COME ON!!
This thing is shot…it’s done…it’s not a contender it’s not interesting, it’s DONE. Time to burn it down and thank christ that is exactly what’s happening here. No half-measures, no limpRichard free-agent moves, and man…setting out this off-season to “not get worse”….is way more bleak than looking in the mirror and knowing full-well it’s time to burn it down and build something we can love again.

Lol what do you want him to do? “Yes Mr. Fish, we will trade Jack right away Mr. fish”

No, Adams holds the cards here and he knows it. His agent will have to sit tight if he doesn’t want to hurt Jack’s stock even more.

Maybe rebuild instead of flat out making a mockery of the sport?

More dignified

I get it. But the guy still represents some high end talent in the league.

I like Adams sticking to his guns. But he also needs to figure this out. Even if it’s, Jack’s off the market until he’s healthy. Sorry, rides closed.

He was criticizing the agent yet you took his comment as the opposite that he was criticizing Adams.

Strange how people interpret on the internet.

This is a really good way for all the fan's to dislike eichel and wish him gone.

Cushions the blow.

Adams can't stop Eichel or his agent from taking it to the media. I don't believe that was started by the Buffalo Sabres. That one is on Eichel.

Adams fed the fire also, this organization looks very bad right now and it's looking like Eichel's return will be minimal if that.
