But then he follows with this. 🤷‍♂️

The very same.

I think Jarmo would count

The problem is this organization hasn’t done a “real search” for a GM or coach in 6 years. More than just firing people, they have to actually do the work to find quality people, not just lackeys that have charmed Pegula in a conversation.

“but noooooooooooot out!” infinitely watchable.

I remember that vividly. I was living in Chicago at the time, but coming into Buffalo that weekend with a good friend of mine. It was his first trip to Buffalo and his first Sabres game. We had great seats, etc. and were really looking forward to it. I always liked to bring friends to Buffalo for Bills & Sabres games, as they are always impressed by how much fun the city is. Obviously, the game was postponed. Now I bring my kids....

Wasn’t Gareth the guy who lost his job with Glasgow for trying to sign an alleged rapist? Maybe he learned his lesson and has grown?

It was beyond awful. If they didn't dump Rolston there would've been a mass revolt. They were 4-15-1 and they weren't as good as the record indicated. It was flat out unwatchable. They couldn't get the puck out of their own end. Nolan got them to at least play hockey. And even though they did they still finished about 20 points out of 2nd last place in the league.

Sounds like Demko will be back for this one, get ready for 1-0 Vancouver win, Demko shutout

Prediction and I hope I’m wrong. POHO: Jarmo (remote) GM: Karmanos (remote) Hockey Ops unchanged with some additional emphasis on analytics. Coaching staff finishes the year.

Adams is *the* symbol for lack of accountability. I think the ripple effects down through the organization of his firing (especially as things get increasingly rank and file) can be notable - depending on how long they wait. Simply not extending his contract sends much less impactful a message than firing him when you don’t strictly have to Adams was hired under the mandate of improving culture - ironically it appears the only way Adams is capable of positively affecting culture is through his axing

I took a look at X and BlueSky. No one else is saying anything. So whatever Jeremy has it's an exclusive.

I hope the Sabres win 12-0 and Adams gets his ass kicked to the curb tonight.

I did say embarrass him .. further.

If they don’t fire everyone, it’s the same as firing no one. The whole organization has the stank of death to it.

I honestly never remember them being unwatchable then like I do now. I watched all 82 back then essentially. Style of play doesn’t get to me like a lack of hope does

What does everyone mean? I get the scouts and whatever asst GMs they have wondering about but replacing an entire coaching staff for both NHL & AHL ain’t easy.

True. He envisioned Ottawa Senators expansion team levels of horrible play, thus his hiring Rolston to help get them there. But he kept some good pieces to be building around after the 2 God awful seasons he expected to have, guys such as Miller. He would've kept most all those draft picks he'd accumulated and they would've been bad for a couple of years after the tank, but they would've been good soon thereafter. The problem with HIS version of tanking is the team was absolutely unwatchable under Rolston when he got to install HIS system right from training camp.

Could just be someone looking for clicks

“Not a bad Ownership tenure..”

This is the way.

The bolded is why this kid is on the anti-Forton bandwagon. Pegula HAS to talk to people besides just Adams and SOMEBODY is telling him, yeah, you're right, Adams is a nice guy that has a good plan that will work if given enough time. Forton would seem to be that guy that Pegula trusts who's pumping Adams tires.

We’ll all believe it when we see it. For me, you have to excise the entirety of the cancer. That means no Adams to POHO. I don’t even want him on the organization on the business side. His entire Sabres career has been the downward spiral of this franchise. Someone else needs to set the culture and expectations. Not Pegula’s friend. Someone else needs to hire the GM and help interview the coaches. There are players that need fresh starts, too. But the department needs a mission and a winning mindset. These people do not have it.
