It isn’t your point, but a small slice of it, to say that if you replaced Kadri with Rossi —then I am all in. There will always be a long term outlook with the short term in mind. Kadri could hamstring us in the long term…Rossi given his age may not. Like it or not, the franchise decision making must be longer than next year’s roster. I want to make the playoffs in 2926, but that’s not the long term goal. The sabres are not winning the cup in 2026. You have to realize this.

Nice Avatar.

And the problem is right there in bold. It should be a make or break year for Kevyn Adams, he is lucky to be be employed as a GM. I’m quite certain no other NHL team would hire him as GM. Dahlin and Thompson should be long term building blocks. This bull$hit of players asking to leave and getting accommodated must stop. I don’t think you will find anywhere in my posts that says they done little or nothing. I don’t think they did enough but if all the stars align, and they stay healthy, and a bunch of them have great years then who knows?

I genuinely don’t know how to respond to this anymore. Long term success starts with winning now. Worry about the rest later.

If Tuch is not on the Sabres in 26/27, it’s his choice, and an indictment on this train wreck of an organization. It’s not due to an internal cap.

It's probably AI written. 😂

You are correct. This is a make or break year, not so much for Adams but for Dahl's and Tage, and probably Tuch if he takes a wait n see strategy to resigning. But I think this off-season has been markedly different from the rest of Adams tenure. There has been a change of philosophy from the fast and skilled Granato model that peaked two years ago when they reached 91 points and just missed. Now the focus is on toughness and being harder to play against. Jarmo Kekalainen must be having something to say about it. I also think Ruff is adding his two cents as well. Every player except Lyon has fit that mold. You may not like what the Sabres have done this off-season, but to say they've done little or nothing couldn't be further from the truth.

I’m sitting down for fantastic four right now. I’m so glad the two newborns aren’t in my theater.

Why? They have an internal salary cap. Why? They aren’t committed to winning. Why? Because younger and cheaper is the motto of the franchise. Why? Because they have never given out a long term deal to a veteran player. Why? Because under Adams they have traded away every productive forward when their contracts came due (Eichel, Mitts, Reinhart and JJP) downgrading the talent on the roster each time. Why? They still have a ton of dead weight contracts in Power, UPL, Norris and Samuelsson. If the Sabres were committed to keeping Tuch, the deal would already be done. So much for “wants to be here”

Bought a 2024 can-am commander last September. Planned a Hatfield & McCoy trail trip starting this coming week. Wife and I are mid 50’s but I said f it, we’re doing this.

That's your key takeaway?

Why? And no.

If Quinn rebound, Benson matures and Kulich continues to improve there is a significant likelihood that Tuch isn’t re-signed.

Jobs reports are ALWAYS adusted up or down after a month or so. ALWAYS.

That Samuelsson is still in the lineup is sad. Someone replace him.

The key takeaway for me is.. what was the mistake and how was it made? This report isn't a new thing. But then I think we all know the report has no consistent algorithm that reduces or eliminates the ability to inject bias into it. Trump's response is typical. He continues to demonstrate his childish name calling. It does however amuse me when people resort to the same tactic when criticizing Trump. As far as I am concerned the economy is on a bubble, but no one can quite figure out when it will burst or if it will just subside with a slow leak.

Moved the youngest into her dorm today (athletics start early). Both fantastic and somewhat sad. But I am excited for the next chapter and it what it will mean for her. So.. fantastic wins.

It's fair. I would say it's a silly question to counter a silly statement. But we see all the time "The Sabres need to make the playoffs, regardless of the cost" or "Who cares about winning in the future, they need to win now" Clearly the cost matters and winning now, while important, should not come at the expense of improving overall long term success.

Disappointed in season 2. Stories are much weaker and after a while, Natasha Lyonne is too one note. Stopped watching after episode 7. Watched the Billy Joel documentary on HBO. Thought it was a good documentary and gave me new insight to him. However, I left finding him kind of unlikeable.

It's not really. This is how the Internet works. If you say Devon Levi then the reach of the article is limited to those who might have an interest in him or the team for which he plays. Whereas, if you mention Sam Reinhart you will get Sabres fans as well as people who would have an interest in Sam Reinhart. This happens quite often these days in headline writing in an attempt to get more eyeballs to see it and then entice people to click. I get a lot of "Former <insert team here> draft pick projected to be cut" or traded, or something else. Goofy and annoying, but for most people it turns into a click.

We can only hope people don’t fall for his ever growing bull$hit. He thinks we are all stupid, especially his core maga constituency.

Yeah, that was a bit of a "big" moment. But I mean, it's something and it is also promoting KeyBank which is a pretty large corporation. Yeah, it's easy to get worn down. It's just perspective. I really want this team to win. I'll take the Bills winning, but for me the Sabres winning is more important. But, perspective says worry about that which you can change. It's not easy.

"The model för all non-traditional NHL markets". It really was wild. Interesting read. Thanks.

Mentioning a curse presents an avenue to absolve Pegula from everything that has gone on. Don’t go there. This thing is completely self-made and it’s more than just one bad decision.
