I Give Up

O'Brien has a ton of playmaking.

What's the stark difference between Bills/Bandits with the Amerks? He allowed those competent staffs to manage their own operations without his interference. It was Terry P. who hired someone with no qualifications for the Sabre GM position. It's bad enough that he hired someone who was so ill-equipped for the position, but even worse, he kept him on for more than five failed years, and still counting, What's apparent is that the Sabres are not a normally run NHL franchise and the owner is not a normally responding NHL owner. It's stupid and embarrassing.

Great, so he’s too busy or distracted to worry about having the most unsuccessful team in the NHL. Maybe he should hire a POHO to run things so he can focus on his other priorities…..oh wait, he doesn’t trust anybody else and wants to make sure he’s being heard…..nevermind.

There is the new mantra for next season: “Team Strength”. Team didn’t make the playoffs because players weren’t strong enough. Run it back with each player a little stronger and we are looking at a Cup.😝😁

Per After the Whistle Adams is confirmed to be the GM next season

1) Terry feels “heard” because he is a grovelling yes man. 2) Money: he still has a contract for this season. He stands up in front of the media and takes the bullets, lying about no financial constraints and Terry’s commitment to spend. He never should have been hired and he shouldn’t still be employed but that is where we are right now. When you have owned a team for 14 years and missed the playoffs every single season you think you would want to improve but all signs point to Nope.

kind of disappointed about this. He has had two good seasons in liiga and I thought we might see him on the amerks next year. Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite them. Or maybe hopefully it does for the players sake?

Do you get provided a bucket or do you have to bring your own? Bills are good because Terry is kept out of football decisions and Josh Allen is the best QB Bandits are good because as far as we know, Terry doesn't give a flying F about them. Amerks are good because of Karmanos and the fact the Sabres draft top 10 year after year. But hey, keep carrying that water for the franchise sunshine. Also if Terry gave a ***** about the Sabres being good, he'd have fired Adams and the coaching staff by now. Dude just wants to save money for his football stadium over runs.

Lol. Yes, indeed. If nothing else, my content here is characterized by overreactions.

Terry and Kevyn are trying to save money, so Matty Ellis will add strength and conditioning to his job responsibilities.

Yeah but his skill set is something Buffalo needs just as bad. If McQueen is healthy then sure take him but after Lidstrom last year there will be a ton of scrutiny on him. I think Martin doesn’t get past Boston at 7. Sweeney was at the Under 18s and Button said he was very impressed with Martin. He screams Bruin.

Except for the Bills, Bandits and Amerks, all his teams stink.

My issue is O'Brien isn't very physical and we need that.

I think it's more the tendency to go ballistic over any little thing, which is an extension of the state is the Sabres. In short, you're overreacting. Which, ironically, also tracks.

I think I’d take O’Brien over McQueen. His injury is such a red flag. The combine will be huge for him. Bear’s injury is concerning as well but he will bounce back after a year or so.

Never heard of the guy.

Lance Lysowski starts covering the Bills and now things begin to unravel at the Sabres.

I feel better now. Whoever caters team meals should be next.

Where's the banner?

Terry Pegula hired him and thinks he is doing a good enough job to retain, maybe even promote. Adams is apparently getting a 6th season with no success to show for it. No other team operates like this. No team ever has. It’s shameful and lazy and disrespectful to the fan base. I’m not going to pay for Sabres tickets or merchandise anymore.

NUCLEAR!

Because Terry Pegula does not care about winning.

Sure why not.
