Probably but nothing is absolute. Kim’s situation has taken a major toll on him. If he knows how much the fans are fed up with him for the state of the franchise maybe he considers it.

As John Wawrow tweeted, the team is never being sold while Terry is alive.

Trump was impeached twice and a convicted felon 34 times over. None of this stuff means anything anymore.

That smile makes me think he got his oil changed😘. Welcome back Captain!

Great news all around on Dahlin. Wish I’d known before I picked up Gibson for my fantasy lineup tonight. I foresee a Sabres’ rout.

I’m with you. At full strength, the team looked okay—which is an improvement. But injuries aside, 1 win in the last 10 shows it’s time to move on. Holding onto a long-term GM hoping things will click is like keeping an ex’s number—you know they weren’t great to begin with, but you convince yourself they could be okay if things were different. Most of the time, you’re better off cutting ties and moving forward.

Personally don't like Lehner either. But don't recall his praising the team for getting him any help back when he missed significant time after injuring his ankle in his very 1st game as a Sabre. Also, don't recall many (any?) good things said about how the team handled / related to players during the Murray era. Do agree that Botterill understood the people/human side of players better than Murray did. Then again, the bottle of iced tea sitting on my table understands the human side of players roughly as well as Murray.

Our leading scorer!?

That’s interesting because early on in his struggles, Lehner had effusive praise for the team and the help they provided him. It wasn’t until after he left when he criticized the fan base for booing him and threw the organization under the bus for their lack of support. I will just agree to disagree on Lehner as I have nothing good to say about him.

I like my conspiracy theories. 🤐

OK. Fair enough. They didn't give him support in a timely manner. They left him isolated from the team when he was injured and needed support. By the time they did provide support he needed a new start in a new location.

Yep. But, today is the 1st day of the rest of your (mine, and everybody else's) life. Can't change the road you took to get here, but definitely can control the path you take from here. No reason to keep any of those you mention beyond their contracts and for many of them even before those contracts run out.

Hell of a lot easier than dismissing all end evidence at hand to create some bs conspiracy theory about Dahlin quitting the team to go play for Frolunda.

I have to disagree about Lehner. The Sabres got him psychiatric help, including treatment for substance abuse to help with his drinking problem and gave him as long as he needed to get well.

He’s been a pleasant surprise. Even when he doesn’t make the score sheet, you notice his game. He hustles and seems to play the game the right way. But I can’t really say if he’s a legit prospect until I see him in a game or two in the show. I’d bet that his maturity would serve him well and that he won’t be intimidated in the least.

That can start with showing a commitment to winning. Bringing back Adams and the entire coaching staff shows the exact opposite.

Seriously? Or tongue in cheek?

And Carolina must be doing well too. Wouldn't be surprised if he plays the best hockey of his life with that weight taken off his shoulders.

Link?

It must be so much easier going through life with a closed mind and no imagination.

Not a fan of X?

Yeah, they didn't give Lehner the support he needed and they apparently didn't give Ullmark the support he felt he needed. Good to see they learned from those experiences and gave Dahlin the support and leeway he needed. Has to also go a long way in inner player circles to dispel the 'wow, they didn't let Eichel get the surgery he wanted, what a horrible place to play' vibes. We can hope at any rate.
