In addition, Kekalainen is currently in Finland

Probably Pete Guelli. Can't imagine who else. Laura Pegula probably there but not sure how much say she has.

The anti-Costanza. Who would be in those discussions? Terry, Kim and...?

That's the problem here. Ah and aw are the same to me. Open up and say ah, shock and awe.

Maybe he has been quiet quitting since he took the job

🤣 I do wonder if Adams just spends his day wandering around the office mumbling to himself and he thinks he’s actually talking to other GM’s.

From Tim Graham and Matthew Fairburn in the Athletic

Turns out for all these years Pegula has been trying to fire Adams; but Adams is just refusing to agree to leave the Sabres

I can actually believe this, given his lack of addressing anything Sabres related, Adam’s talking to himself as per usual…..

Like all other Sabres leaks that don’t happen, this is going to end up as the ultimate “we tried” moment. “It takes 2 parties to fire a GM and we just couldn’t come to terms on the value proposition. We will continue to explore all avenues for ways to improve this team, but they need to make sense.”

Maybe it keeps expectations low.

Whenever people start trying to type out the way words sound, am I the only one who winds up completely lost? We have Bland Lanscaping out here. That one is hilarious. If that’s your family name, you probably shouldn’t use it in th company name.

I had that with mine a couple years back too. I wasn’t even remotely close the mileage for the fist oil change, so I got to ignore those messages fo a while.

Doan already has surpassed his career high in goals and assists last year which was 7-12-19 in 51 games with 10-13-23 in 31 games. On pace for 26-35-61 this year which would be pretty amazing...

So cahfee vs. Long Island cawfee, is that what you're getting at?

I do not recall Rick, Ted or anyone in the Buffalo media pronouncing it other than Memorial Ahditorium.

I mean looking back I probably have started too many thread akin to this topic. Maybe I should have studied linguistics. This stuff fascinates me.

Not even close. Awd vs Ahd There is a waste management company in the 585 called White Trash Co. It bothers me.

Did ya know?! Why Goalies aren’t Captains:

I thought you were upset because the Sabres didn't follow through on rumors.

I’ve never built an ice arena before, but I would have expected something closer to completion given we are 55 days away.

Well Rico I do agree with most of this. Some interesting things are at work here. Adams hired Jarmo, and he has a prior relationship with him. Why would KA hire his own replacement unless there was a plan for Adams to move into another role? I think both of these things will happen but have no clue what Adams role will be. I just cannot see Pegula firing him. If Adams is the new POHO I will be start out unhappy about it. Now, why would Jarmo take the job if he is under constraints that he cannot succeed with? Could be that he thinks this is his last chance in the NHL? Could be he has been working through the roles and responsibilities all along and has agreed to something? Could be both. It all seems strange that this leaked out a week prior while the team is out of town. Very Pegulian. I will be upset if Appert is the next HC, especially with DeBoer out there.

Is Pegula's budget so much less than most teams' budgets that it makes it nearly impossible to compete? @Pimlach and others have cited the lack of financial resources as one of the primary reasons that inhibit the Sabres from being a serious team. I'm aware that during covid that TP dramatically retrenched with his hospitality businesses, but is that still the case as the financial situation has stabilized after the covid economic trauma? My view is that even with a more restrictive budget compared to other franchises, it is more of an imperative to hire competent and creative staff in order to overcome (to a degree) the more financially restrictive environment to work under.
