Exactly - I am as mad as anybody about this team but leaks happen all the time before a firing or hiring - their entire team is out of town and no one this to happen til they are back. Thats not a bungle …

LOL, seriously???

I didn't think this was a concern. 90% of the "facts" about the Sabres are just things people speculate. Unreachable by you and me, sure. I thought he was joined to Kevyn's hip?

No. Next year.

His signature transaction is the opposite

Looking at the rosters of the NHL teams that are consistently in the playoffs, and particularly teams that are often contending, in most cases you will find a top-level player (or several) who was acquired for pieces. That is, they acquired the proverbial dollar in exchange for the proverbial 3 quarters. This may be the biggest failure of Adams as a GM. He has certainly traded a couple of dollars for a few, comparative, quarters, and he has managed to trade a few quarters for other quarters, but he has not found a way to pull off the Sabre version of the 3 quarters for a dollar trade.

That's about the size of it. Just tired of hearing about Skinners play so switch it up. The results could go either way.

I chose the Power extension, although there have been so many worst moves he’s made. But that extension is going to be a cap killer for years yet to come given Power’s consistent lackluster progress. 8+ million for years, 🤮

You could combine the handling of goaltending with the UPL extension. That was his answer to handling the position. He signed his guy and cleared the dining room table. Mission accomplished for him. You should vote there if you want to point to the crease as his biggest blunder.

Isn't it time for Levi now? Our supply of average Goal tenders is running low...

No it’s not. It’s literally been suggested there’s no point in canning the GM if nothing else changes. I’ve explained why I disagree both practically for how and why it could help the team and also personally Adams isn’t just a symptom. He’s also cause

That's a straw man. KA is the gangrenous toe. Terry is the uncontrolled diabetus.

I love stupid messages from car dealerships trying to trick you into trading in your car. This one says “it’s wonderful that your car has been paid off”. It then goes on to say with a trade in I could lower my payments by up to $23. So since I currently have no payment, does that mean they’ll pay me monthly to get a new car? Lowering my $0 monthly payment is very impressive.

So let's talk about Matt Ellis' reign as GM. He and Rayzor would be wearing matching outfits every day (portrait of the other one on a shirt). All of our lines are a 4th line. Slowest team in the league by far. By the fourth game of the year, the fans campaign outside Kevyn's house to beg him to come back

So what’s the point of telling the entire fanbase essentially a week before it happens? So we can all speculate? It just leaves too much time for the fans to fabricate what the think is going to happen which inevitably will skew the actual facts because people have already made their own assumptions. My number one job at work is to control information. If I don’t do that, our customers and employees will insert their own narrative, whatever that may be. Maybe more fault needs to be directed toward the leak.

Former Sabre Arttu Ruotsalainen has a decent year in Frölunda in SHL, playing on the same line as Ivar Stenberg, top 5 name in 2026 draft.

I mean we are 8 points out of first right now...but still last in the conference...it's wild how tight things are this year.

To borrow a quote by Razor, “That’s luderous.”

Rob Ray, Sabre's brain trust.

Does the team's performance warrant treating rookies in this way... if that's what's going on?? The performance of rookies is one of the few bright spots.

Have you watched the Podcast with Rhett Warrener? They think Rob Ray would make a great POHO a person who can set culture, hire good GM, hire good coaches.

As is the bit where I mentioned how Adams came upon the job - by firing a bunch of people even Botterill would rather *quit a rare and valued GM job for* than axe. It’s actually possible to have standards and gather the measure of a man. Or at least my opinion of such. Adams is a slime ball. The way he took the job was offensive. The way he conducts business is offensive. The way he speaks to the fans is condescending and belittling. He’s a fraud. “Yes man”? Try: enabler. Purely interested in promoting the strategy that levies him the most job security personally. Fostered THE worst environment player wise we’ve ever seen, as evidenced by the stick salute fiasco that was proof of the willing disenfranchisement of fans. He’s crafted a roster I despise due to his infecting presence. his presence alone tarnishes the crest to the point of it being unrecognizable to me. Swept in the first round? Who - Adams? Who cares. The sabres existed before him and will exist after. He’s not the Sabres. It’s time for him to say goodbye.

It’s futile to predict what this unreachable owner will do. My opinion/ suspicion is that there will be a change sometime soon. It seems to me that having Jarmo hovering in the system makes it possible if not probable. Just my guess?????

And if we can’t get all that we should just do nothing, agree

That's a good start. Then, if we don't get a new owner in name, we need a new owner in practice. He has to be smart enough to realize it. Please, dear Hockey Gods.
