I know I'm a Homer but our future looks a fair bit brighter as of now, who knows what's to come though. Not I

Tough enough to predict where the teams will finish at the end of this season, let alone in future seasons.

Ottawa is also only 2 points behind the Sabres with one extra game played.

They've also now got Chabot, Sanderson and Chychrun on defense. That's pretty (frank)ing good.

So Chychrun is a Sabres player? Or Adams is bad at his job?

Botterill drafted Cozens.

Sheesh open a book.

Just stop posting.

Never said he drafted Cozens. Im just saying you would of been a better GM that Adams.

Cozens sucks
Adams sucks

Your doing great!

What are you even going on about?

As a fan are you implying I don't have a right to criticize the sabres but they can take my money?

Just stop man.

Here’s what I know -

Sabres were one of few teams who could afford guys like Chychrun or Meier with the assets, cap space and flexibility for no one to have to “broker the trade” and the Sabres failed to get either player

They were reportedly interested in both so Adams himself thought they’d fit this team.

He failed. Bottom line

I kow logic isn't your thing so I'll help you out. He reported an an alleged asking price. Same for Meier. Just because returns weren't great doesn't mean the ask wasn't originally sky high.

Slumpy, are you going to be able to handle it when UPL goes back to the AHL? Was I wrong about saying he needed to continue to improve to maintain an NHL net?

So you're saying maybe he tried and failed?

At some point, actual results matter more than hey, we tried.

The Murray deal at the draft would've been great, but it never happened.

Results matter.

It takes to make a trade, last time I checked. I am obviously a believer in Adams.... I would have .ade that offer. I hope we did. Stillman won't be the only move. I predict something decent is coming.

This isn't gym class in middle school where they give out A's for effort.

There is an old saying in sports: You are your results. Bottom line.

I said he was our best chance at a run. I never said he was a finished product or even good. There was context there

I guess if you're mad that the sabres continue to do nothing you're a fickle fan says Richardroma. If you're a life long fan you should be irate. This is absolutely bullpoop that every team is doing stuff to get better and this excuse for a manager sits on his (frank)ing ass.

Not a hard day, I really didn't expect Adams to do much. His Balls are still in Pegula's pocket.

Chychrun to Ottawa. It is very difficult to believe that the Sabres could not have bested this. Did they not offer a first? Is Adams acquiring a Darcy reputation with the rest of the GM's? Whatever the reason, literally every team around them is making substantial moves to get better both for this year's playoffs and going into the future. Adams is not looking good.

Yeah, that's probably aiming a little high. Are the panthers taking offers on Dalpe?
