There were so many ways to go about improving this roster

Bringing the band back with clifton, Erik johnson and a bunch of rookies should be a fireable offense in year 4 of rebuild 2nd edition

Probably a lot better...even though I think Levi is going to be really good in the end.

We didnt need anything like that. Our coach banged the table for a 6'6 perimeter player

Lot's of great posts here today. My biggest beef is this is no longer a young team on ELC's sitting at the cap floor with a ton of potential and options. There's a lot of guys making big boy money now and it's the same lame a$$ results.

If I'm the owner I'd be eager to get a coach who's going to try and get my money's worth out of these guys. Enough of this loafing, country club crap.

That Pie Hole should have been fired 3 years ago, and that's being generous.

Thought he was going to say

Kane is coming home and he's part of the new ownership group

Where that started no ideal

It makes me sad. I hated Greenway, he was growing on me, but it's back to mediocrity. I just don't understand how a guy with his size can play like a such a fawn out there. Every now and then he pushes someone...that's about the most violent thing I've seen from him.

A coma could change the future trajectory of the organization, I got excited too 😂

Boston is the mold, i've been saying it for years now. The Sabres will never play that style or draft, trade for those type of big players. You can't win in this league with small players and we draft a lot of them. Let's see if the "saviors" come up to the big club and do anything Rousek looks below average. But hey, keep putting these so called great first picks with Okposo and Girgensons, that should do it.

Dan Blysma almost had the team in the playoffs in 2015-16 and we finished 1 game under .500

Not trying to promote him here he just happened to be the one coach they hired with experience since Lindy Ruff.

Here we are 8 years later one game under .500 and no playoffs.

Can't help but think if the Pegula's hired GMs and Coaches with experience instead of yes men we wouldn't be here right now. All hires without experience.

LaFontaine isn't here for that reason, nobody is going to tell Terry what to do. Look how it's all worked out.

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.

That should have been this offseason

- Peca promoted and on the bench
- upgrade d assistant
- upgrade goalie coach. Has anyone seen growth in our goalies?

They let Peca walk and ran it all back!

They are a new Owner away from moving up the ladder. Your post is right on the mark. I can't say anymore there is a plan but one would think there are multiple plans colliding

Peca would disrupt the chemistry of the assistant coaches all being buddies.

I loathe Mike Bales at this point.

But the dye is cast for the summer months...question, would you try to do that now? Matt Ellis' bald spot does leave a lot to be desired. Let Donny focus on improving players and the assistants draw up Xs and Os?

Lol maybe that's why Peters is pushing the "Sabres are for sale narrative" hoping some rich bumhole picks up on it.

Sounds like 8-10 teams will meet with him. Apparently, unlike some posters here, other GMs around the league think Kane will help them tremendously. Basically everyone with a lick of cap space has called Brisson.
