EEE

This is a good sign for that reason, but they can't let go of the stench from certain holdovers even hiring someone from outside the organization. Because I doubt Adams makes it. And then this individual likely takes over, albeit with factions still in place. They aren't going to hire someone with a solid record the longer those factions remain in place.

He doesn’t have “it” opposing teams didn’t even bother trying to cover him

If you need a senior advisor your GM sucks. Our sucks. It is not a position you learn on the fly. You must be prepared and experienced already in an NHL front office. Unreal

He isn't a good player.

Don Perry Tegula.

I think I like it, but that black jersey looks ripped from the WHL.

If Martin is everything the Sabres need(and don’t currently have), then move up a few spots to draft him. I don’t care that he is 3 years away, at some point they have to start acquiring hard to play against talent…especially guys who can play in the top 6 forwards or top 4 blueline.

The senior advisor is Pegula with a fake moustache

The only thing I can think of is Lindy and KA sold TP on a plan but said they needed help implementing it. Or TP told them they needed help. The experienced GM thing might (hopefully) indicate he/they feel a need for stronger relationships with other GMs, agents and team execs to get deals done. Again, spitballing.

There are plenty of things about this ragged organization to get upset with. This inconsequential hire is not one of them. Whether they brought him in or not, who cares. If people find this hiring as a trigger to stoke additional anger about this backwater franchise, then I recommend that they tune out for a spell and get refreshed.

If we keep reimer, maybe they can form a club?

Classic (weak) executive politics and paranoia. Help/push the guy out out the door who is the biggest threat to take your job.

Then they throw the tree overboard again. I remember the ending I think. I need to find that movie again, it's been 15yrs at least.

It was funny for a little while but the absurdity of it makes it sad.

And gets killed by a Kamikaze attack

Just because you hate someone doesn't mean that particularly scorned person doesn't have something to contribute.

Mostly because we all hate him

That would be the best case conversation... I am afraid it will be more like... "Hi Mr Adams sir... can I get you some coffee.. a foot rub maybe.. what can I do to make Mr Pegula happy sir... "

Awesome. Hiring his former teammate and buddy with ZERO front office experience…Stanley Cup here we come! 😂😂😂

Attached is a WGR link where Eric Staal was interviewed on the Sabres Live Show. What does his hiring add to the organization? He's been with a lot of teams and still is familiar with a lot of players. If he can give some insight in some of the players the Sabres are interested in dealing for, then why not have another voice in the room? https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/hosts/sabres-live

They ran into legal issues with the water bottle company and couldn't use the name yeti. They did want it.

Here's a look at their first meeting together: "Yeah, so, everything you've done over the past 5 years....I probably would not have done any of that, because the results would look exactly like this."

There are things called private messages. Sometimes those are better. And I'm only responding to you since you are the most recent post in this exchange.
