He's Benson ++...which is why we will not be winning the lottery, no matter our "chances". We would be last place and still end up with Richardinson. - QuinnFan
The Sabres like to find long term projects and draft them early in the 1st round, do you know how much potential that allows them to sell?

Potential and ELC’s is how championship teams are made. What’s our prospect pool ranking?

We do not trade prospects, we draft them. Get your mind out of the gutter washey.
If everybody who watches tape could and can see it, why did it take so long to make a change?
>>> I get that a lot of numbers point to the Bills having a good offense. But I promise you that it isn’t because of play-calling prowess. Film doesn’t lie. There is rarely cohesive flow or plays tied together. There is too much burden on Josh Allen to make things happen

I know two people celebrating Tage Thompson getting injured.
Kevin Adams and Donnie Meatballs.
Now they have an excuse for missing the playoffs. - sabresfan69
You think it's that bad? It's pretty clear to me they weren't "going for it" this year, but think they feel like they're off the hook now and happy about it? That'd be pretty short sighted anyways.

So you give GMs and coaches 5 years of missing the playoffs?

According to their plan this was our year. - sabresfan69
Not at all, was just surprised you thought they'd be happy about Tage getting hurt as it gave them an excuse. I would think...or hope...they'd be pissed.
At this point I'm ready to let Granato go if need be. I'd probably try to get him some better assistant coaches first, but wouldn't be upset if I heard him and Dorsey were at Duffs talking poop about Terry.

I never said they were happy I said celebrating because they have an excuse. I was being flippant.
Although it does give them an excuse Granato is an awful coach so fire him into the sun.

think im done with granato. i really like him but there are teams with less actual talent taking it to this team day in and day out. their scoring is awful and they cant figure out how to get into position to shoot, or even shoot at all. i could go on, but i dont feel like it. kevyn wont be hasty but the talent is here to not suck.

Sorry took it the wrong way. I thought you were serious. In today's day and age, I can see a GM or Coach potentially doing a silent fist pump if they thought it was saving their jobs I guess. Just didn't see Granato or Adams as evil, simply underqualified.

It's amazing how he's really turned a few players around, is great at developing, but is equally as bad at actually formulating structure during games. You're right, they're playing pond hockey in the offensive zone and can't beat a 1-3-1 to save their lives. PP is non existent.
Out of curiosity, because I go back and forth, would you try getting him some better assistant coaches first? I think that's what I'd prefer, taking some pressure off him, but can see either way.

im not in the mood to care today. but no. the system changes when the coach changes. they spent months on this system and they, as a whole, can't figure out how to be a strong transition team.
there's teams with less talent doing more with the puck. there's work to be done on the roster, but not 30th ranked xGF work.
