--first off, 'permanently' was never a part of the conversation
--second, don lemon has shown the propensity to have the brains of a lemon, but the walls are closing in on the perpetrators of the fake ride many have been on the past five-plus years (yeah, right, "not trying to be political")
--and third
losing to win:
--sabres record from the first tank year on: 226-346-85, worst in the nhl (quick note, the vegas golden knights could very well pass buffalo in the win column next season playing a few hundred less games)
--ryan o'reilly- forced his way out
--sam reinhart- subtly forced his way out
--taylor hall- came and went
--jack eichel- aggressively forced his way out

Here's thoughts for your consideration,
1) you are not the only one. In fact several others are far worse, so don't get all bum-burned.
2) The entire Front Office, Coaching Staff and 90% of the players are different than the organization which produced those results over the past several years, sans the past 70-sh games. That said, those results from 6 /7 are just not "facts" applicable here and now, right? I mean should current Dodge cars be avoided because of the K-cars? No.
3) Culture matters. O'Reilly tried to lead but was virtually laughed at by the kids...those kids were now shown the door by a GM with balls enough to realize they are culture cancers ... be glad Adam's poop-canned them.
4) Dancing Dan, Lousley and Krueger might be the 3 worst coaches I have seen...clueless doesn't begin to describe their ineptitude and it go worse over time with each hire. Thank God Botts and GMTM are gone and a real Front Office has been assembled with top end talent.
5) Granato and Appert are perfect for a young team, and they have the respect of the players...that's according to the young players. Do they have crisis of confidence at times...HELL YES...but they actively working through it with positivity...exactly as they should. It ain't about the wins, it is about proper development...a masters class is being conducted by PhD's
All the rest is CNN nonsense
1st time in 7 , 8 years I feel the right hands are on the rudder.
