Who said fire people?

Almost none of this roster is his, and it’s not a playoff roster yet

He should be making upgrades. Especially this offseason.

Anything less and I don’t agree with the “direction”
- sbroads24

He should trade Krebs and a 1st for Patrick Kane, sign MAF to a 2 or 3 year deal, and then try to get either Johnny Gadreau or Patrice Bergeron.

What forwards are Adams?

Thompson - Botterill
Skinner - Botterill
Olofsson - Murray
Mitts - Botterill
Tuch - Adams
Krebs - Adams
Girgensons - Darcy
Asplund - Murray
Okposo - Murray
Cozens - Botterill

Dahlin - Botterill
Samuelsson - Botterill
Power - Adams
Jokiharju- Botterill


Don’t you think Adams should maybe have 50% of this roster as his by year 3?
- sbroads24

Honestly, kA should win some kind of award for the 180* change we've witnessed.

Getting rid of the cancerous "core" and getting quality players in return , was a no win situation.

Somehow he won.

KA resigned
Girgs
Mitts
Joker

And drafted quinn, peterka, and power.
Traded for bjork, tuch and Krebs.
Signed dell, anderson , prysk, vinnie ect.

Half the team involved his decision making

We have sped up rebuilds every 2-3 years. And look where its gotten us. Taking the long way around finally should not be a problem.

Shortcuts didn't work with TM, didn't work with Hall coming in, haven't worked anytime we've tried during this drought.

Lets slow our roll this time around

Its crazy but we are allowed to disagree with that.

These guys have an agenda. They don't want KA to workout so they can say they were right. They'll root against their team just to say they got their take right. That's terrible. Can't believe they want the Sabres to suck just so KA can be fired and they can say told ya so. The worst fans on earth and they're never right.

Yes, you are right, I am actively rooting for the Sabres to be bad again for another 2 years so KA gets fired. When I say things like make moves to improve the team, and this team could be in the playoffs with a few upgrades, you outed me.

I'm sure TP had this convo with him and they're both fine with the direction.

I believe there is no intention of getting away from the cap floor. Terry doesn't wanna pay up.
- DirtyDan

There will most definitely be a time and a place for that, and I have zero doubt we'll be at the ceiling sooner than we think, but next season isn't it.

I just don't understand how you can call yourself a Sabres fan when you want the team to suck so they fire the GM. You're a terrible fan. Actually, not a fan at all. That's like something you should hope happens to Toronto or Boston. Maybe you enjoy being terrible?

There is definitely a possibility that this is probable what i may want to see potentially happen.

seeing how we are about to have a first and a third round pick walk out on us in 12 months, I would say yes


the goal should be the 2023 first round pick to be a non lottery pick

If this is the offseason.
Sign VO
Call up Quinn/JJ
Trade for Bishop and Weber for cap purposes.


Are you content with that?

Yes,

Maybe sign the 4/5 defenseman with snarl, that would actually play instead of weber on the ir.

Maybe sign/trade for a good goalie instead of bishop


Wanting more and having a realistic approach to this offseason seems to confuse you.

Of course I want them to trade for McDavid. Should every post be a KA failure post, when it doesnt happen 😐

Why is trading for a player that fits our timeline a “shortcut”

The Avalanche traded 2 seconds for Devon Toews and now he’s a top 10-15 D man.

Why exactly are moves like that not even fathomable for Sabre fans?

Go get an undervalued RD.

Go get an undervalued Goalie

Go get a middle six forward who might flourish with more ice time

Or did they hire an analytics department just for show?

Adams has done a decent job as of now.
- SABRES 89

B overall

culture in locker room an A
Eichel return A
Risto return A

Hall return C+
Reinhart return B

Drafts TBD

Not locking up Dahlin long term D

Going all in to sign Ullmark and not having a plan B is a D


Not able to sign Johnson or Portillo is a D


it's great he got guys like Pysyk to come here and want to play, now get better players here that want to play

- Boss34

aside from the bruins top line, I do not see them as a decent team next year

our goal should be to go after them in the standings, not waffle near the bottom of the division, with the sens, habs and red wings

No, because we need a goalie that will actually suit up, lol.

I think they add a defenseman, too, just by his comments.

If we don't see the influence of their analytics team this summer, I'd be extremely disappointed.

Agreed.

I want more than Botterills Trade 4th and 5th rd picks for Simmonds/Frolik and less than Murray Trade everything for Evander Kane.
