He definitely asked for a trade or some ultimatum. Kevyn could easily say “No”, but he can’t say “Yes”. He’d automatically lose leverage. My guess is other GMs already know this. Hence, them being “difficult” to deal with.

“Hubris” for my money has been identified as their chief flaw long ago. We don’t need a mere playoff team. We are beyond that. Cup contender only for us. The long road. And we know how to do it: not you, the fan, not you, the league recommended executive me. Terry. I didn’t get rich by accident

i wish one of us had thought to create a separate thread for that press conference. the board's feedback is sprinkled in a few different threads.

Pridefully stubborn - much more detrimental than outright idiocy

Or they think they'll be worse next year.

I think it’s exactly what’s happening and you are bang on

I just caught up watching the presser. A lot of bizarre answers, especially regarding the Asst. Coaches. Who was the media member who called out "running things back" after a 79pt season?

Not saying Sabres fans shouldn’t express how they feel; not saying that at all. But in a broader more meta sense, I don’t buy the idea that torches and pitchforks are necessary as a catalyst for change, or even the best tool as a catalyst for change. Often they result in the person on the other end hunkering down behind walls, leaning into the people and conclusions that “feel right” to them and dismissing potentially useful input because of the source.

It really doesn’t get anymore surreal then Adams honestly thinking we feel bad because there is misinformation about the moves the team might be thinking about. No Kevyn, we feel bad because you and the owner have destroyed a franchise and proven time after time after time that you simply don’t get it. You don’t get how the build a successful team, you don’t get that the fans are pissed off about missing the playoffs for 14 straight years and you don’t even have the wherewithal to change the coaching staff because they are all under contract yet you repeatedly stand and lie through your teeth that there are absolutely no financial restrictions. No Kevyn, I’m not mad because a report said that Muel might be bought out. I’m mad about a cheap ass owner who doesn’t know half of what he thinks he does would keep an incompetent fool like you in charge because you listen to his ideas which never ever work out. But we get it, the answer is in the room and the things Terry said in that Montreal meeting were very impressive.🙄🤮

Same for all the national guys and local beat alike. This front office does not leak anything.

It’s a very interesting and somehow underplayed dynamic for me. We of course have our side well covered but I do believe the conflict of interest is quite severe BOTH ways. How the org may, or may not act is surely affected by this feature. It’s so hard to know exactly how but there’s a level of fascination to it in its uniqueness, in spite of the outright anger in triggers in me due to my loyalty to the crest and the fans Because, Terry and Kevyn don’t represent the Crest. They aren’t buffalo sabres Adams never WOULD claim the drought. The fans situation isn’t his fault. he just feels bad FOR us

Every time I hear any of our staff talking I just picture them in full clown outfits. I’ve never seen failure on this scale rewarded all because the GM kisses our owners ass. I will never pay a single cent to this organization until they’re a cup contender. So I won’t have to piss my money away for a very long time!

The Kypreos Sabre “insight” offers nothing but his personal speculation about what he’s seen reported elsewhere.

I don’t think they are laughing at us or trolling us, but I do think they despise “us” (meaning the hardcore Sabre fan who “refuses to be patient” and “doesn’t understand how hard this is”.) Its pretty standard human behaviour for those who feel under siege.

Yep.

I feel bad for the fans because we have to deal with Adams for the 6th year now.

Guelli is the Bills' COO. I infer that he's also COO of every sports franchise that the Pegulas own. Nah?

Everytime you come into this point of the season, you hope your front office has an idea of how the fans feel. Where the flaws of the team are; and have some humbling after another consecutive season of nothing changing. For the fifth season in a row, we received, a lackluster hypocritical sound bite session from a guy who isn't more qualified to mop the floors. There was a laugh, a pity statement made about the fans, when in all reality, he just doesn't give a *****. I am more now sure about this fraud. TRUST THE PROCESS, will be immortalized on his grave.

I believe they all independent of each other now and PG is the COO of everything not the Bills.

What, “trust us bro” isn’t a good enough plan to the players?

Lesser of two evils I guess

Better without the f-bomb tbh

Or not? Now he’s contradicting himself

You know Adams is strutting up to that podium and making that selection with a smile I’m also sure it’ll be a “steal!” We are going to mAkE tHe PiCk.. of course they are
