That’s the Petey rumor… and given what this franchise has been through, the two “major changes” could only be an insane deal like this or sale of the team….

Those are not the only 2 options

It could be hiring a team pres
Other hiring & firings

None of those are major. Seriously, they’ve been through coaches. They’ve fired scouting staffs. They’ve been through coaches. They’ve traded 3 major players.

Promoting Adams or adding a president at this point is not major….

I can't stop watch the Hyde interception.

Also, all 4 of Josh Allen's incomplete passes came in the first 17 minutes if the game. I can't believe he's our QB.

Well we don’t have a d-man other than Dahlin and the Joker signed past this offseason.

Don’t have a goalie outside of UPL signed past this offseason.

Peterka, Krebs, Quinn, Power, Samuelsson, UPL should be full time Sabres that’s a pretty significant roster overhaul in itself.

Eakin, Vinny, Cagguila, Jankowski, Hayden are all UFA’s.

Olofsson is an RFA

The Sabres are going to have $30M + to play with and Half a roster to fill so would that not be pretty significant organizational changes in itself ?

In YOUR opinion
U don’t know what qualifies as “major” in the eyes of whoever Petey’s source is

A coaching staff that wouldn’t relegate Cozens after the top line posting a dominant effort in a win the previous game would be cool.

Did it sound like changes before the end of the calendar year or season? I can’t imagine, other than selling the team, what a realistic change would be.

This. I love what Granato has done on the development side of the young players, but his lineup decisions have been head scratchers to say the least.

In the last 3 games against the Pats not played in hurricane type winds Josh Allen is averaging a cool 72% completion percentage, 4 TDs and 314 passing yards per game, not to mention 55 yards rushing...

It would be something ridiculous like all 3 1st round picks, Dahlin, Cozens, and Quinn, and that still wouldn't be enough.
- kingcong39


If you offered all of those, they would for sure take it. Clearly just having McDavid isn’t working. They would have all depth plus a first line center in Leon.
