Actions speak louder than words. The Mittelstadt trade was a step in the right direction in terms of an admission external additions need to be made.

There is a sense of urgency that wasn’t present in prior years.

They underestimated the team they had last year, overestimated the team they had this year.

Adams even admitted in his press conference he was looking to add a veteran forward but that at this time of year with teams chasing the playoffs that it wasn’t attainable.

Having Tomas Hertl on the books till he’s 37 wasn’t the answer either.

I’m not buying Fitz saying we were in on Couture

To resign Girgensons

Adams has a continuous string of excuses why he doesn't do things or get things done.

His nonsensical bullpoop reasoning for not retaining on contracts is another example.

Anybody still buying his bullpoop is a buffoon.

What do you want Adams to say ? Terry is a cheap cuck and doesn’t want to retain salary ?

Terry loves Zemgus and wouldn’t sign off on us retaining some of his contract for a 5th round pick in return ?

I’m not one to put any stock into press conferences in the first place because most GM speak is always fluff no matter what team or GM is doing the fluffing, but Kevyn is generally more direct then most when you can shift through the bs

Not helping your Defense last year in November and December when they were ravaged by injuries. Missing your GM signal at the TDL last year that this Team with the right acquisitions could make the playoffs. Doing nothing in the Offseason except give free Fluffs every Sunday at the BBQ. Instead of using your plethora of assets and cap space to go and find success you shoved it back up Terry's A$$ after leaving for Vacation July 10th
- Buff36

His attempt to convince people that they were willing to retain money in trades was laughable. Terry wouldn't retain a dollar.

And I know a lot like Savoie, but if they could have gotten Crouse for him I am Driving Savoie to Arizona. I need a Crouse in my lineup more than a Savoie IMO.
- Buff36

If we are moving Savoie, we should be aiming a lot higher then Crouse.

Guy can barely crack 40 points and I am moving my recent 9th overall pick for him ?

Throw some cash at Trenin in FA and you’ll get close to the same result

LOL 😂. Come on dude. Just stop.

Savoie for Jordan greenway 2.0.

Crouse is a fine player, I wouldn’t mind him at all in our bottom 6.

That GM can Frank right off though with that asset valuation.

For savoie though? No thanks.


If I’m getting another tuch or Bobby Ryan type player. Sure. Savoie can go.

But crouse is more of a greenway then a Bobby Ryan or tuch

Greenway has never sniffed what Crouse has done. Crouse is exactly the type of player this Franchise needs.

Crouse could pot 40 on this team with the intangibles he brings, he's already scored 25 on a sh!tty Arizona team.

Sober Bobby Ryan or drunk Bobby Ryan?

Thought of the day… why even employ an analytics team within the organization if the coach isn’t going to utilize them and the GM thinks emotion trumps analytics. Ventura must feel useless

I knew this team was backwards, rudderless, but yesterday cemented how absolutely dysfunctional this organization is. It is beyond embarrassing.

Has Peter’s said anything about yesterday? He’s been pretty good with the rants as of late
- Gr8daygo

Weren’t these analytics guys hyped and sabres were so fortunate to get them, they were revered throughout the league. If so, what is there to show for it? Meathead doesn’t adhere to them. Who have they uncovered, kev went out and got, and Donnie matches and line combos to their potential? None. Either these guys are just more paychecks collectors or they will and or should resign and sign elsewhere. If they have pride in what they do, they can’t be happy here.

Go watch the Avs or canes and then we can talk about bringing in slow skating players.

And fyi the Sabres also suck. So going from suck to suck doesn’t help your point

When was the last time a Sabres captain did not get traded? Instead of retiring.

He's not slow, he skates like Girgensons. Except he stays on his feet.
And we suck because of Coaching and Adams, not lack of TALENT

I’m sorry. No. Again if he’s Bobby Ryan for the next Alex tuch. Absolutely. But he’s not.

Move on

Move on to what, how bad this Organization is at putting the puzzle together. I will move on from Crouse because even if the Sabres got him they would probably ruin him anyway.

Adams wants a 3rd line center. Start prospecting

He tried to get Logan couture but was denied.

So identify a veteran center

I did and he said NO
The Sabres are known around the NHL as " The Place That Kills Careers" and what Adams has done hasn't changed that a bit. Gonna be very hard to find that, or atleast a good player willing to come here and be that.

And why him ? He has played 6 games this year. Was that gonna be another Buddy move with the GM

Unless the GM cries because he had to trade the apparently most amazing player in Buffalo Sabres history, Kyle Okposo.

Will anyone care about this if he makes good on his word and makes further additions to the team in the summer time and we get going in the right direction ?

Some of us wanted that last offseason, when it should have happened

Not arguing this, he was 5 months too late no doubt.

You also weren’t getting a Bo Byram 5 months ago though either.

We all knew he has been in on several d-men over the course of the past couple of years, he finally closed on one.

Quite frankly, a 22 year old Bowen Byram could actually be the best option also. Time will tell
