He meant he'd be following the course the owner had asked him to follow but that it would bring much short term pain with it. One thing that Regier always did was work within whatever constraints his boss(es) put on him. The owners asked for the worst team in the league for 2 years to have the best chance at landing McDavid and being guaranteed the consolation prize of Eichel. He did their bidding. At least until they saw the results of what they'd actually signed on for and then canned him. And personally, find telling the paying customers of a business that is SUPPOSED to be entertaining that they will be suffering is absolute garbage. He should never have agreed to that. IMHO his agreeing to that pretty much ended his career in the NHL. He was an AGM for the Coyotes for a year or 2 after Buffalo and hasn't been heard from since. This being a guy who's teams won 1 Wales Conference Trophy a Presidents Trophy and had 4 trips to the Conference Finals.

Good point. My concern is IF TP can get past his own ego to hire a POHO (Shanny, Briere…).a” Also, former Sabres in other hockey roles…McKee, Vanek, Miller etc.).

I don't know or care but I do expect you, as Meme Supervisor, to have some sort of "ding ***** witch is dead" thing ready to go. Omigosh, it censored D-O-N-G.

Why does it have to be "Jarmo"? Why can't we at least think big before being let down? Personally I don't want anyone who has had a hand in this fiasco to take over.

I can’t agree. You say: Adams has enough self respect to not take a figurehead job. Riiight. He did so 5yrs.ago. 🙄👀💀

I hear the secondary market for Canucks tickets has collapsed and I might try and grab something for $40. Previously the absolute cheapest ticket in the building was over $100, and I ain't paying that for these bums.

Adams and Jarmo as Co GMs and neither one is allowed to communicate with the other. Let the chaos ensue😁

KA can move in FLA Pegula compound to take care of palm trees & also avoid state taxes….he can continue to talk w TP (on Palm tree status) every day.

It might come acrosst as him saying nothing a-tall, each and every day.

Lindy has made side eye comments about 3 G, et… implicating KA & his total inability to make a decision.

I can't agree. What you just described is the opposite of how it works. If Adams is POHO with no influence on hockey operations then he is not a POHO and should not be given the title. Adams has enough self respect to not take a figurehead job. Pegula would not do that to him either. This is a business, its hockey business, and personal feelings are not the first priority in any sports business world. Executives get paid a lot, they work in a cut throat environment, POHO/GM is a results oriented job, and they get fired when their time is up.

Has this happened? Either directly or indirectly? I think I missed this.

This is what I get for posting on my phone and talking to it and allowing it to use voice recognition. I meant to say that his position is NOT higher up in the the hockey organization... But it came out that it is higher up in the organization. My post was to say I'm okay with him not getting fired as long as he's on the business side of things and not having input into hockey anymore. On a side note, I really don't know how people live off of their phones. Not only does voice recognition not work, but I'm posting this on my phone now and every time I have to make a correction I could swear I'm touching one letter on the virtual keyboard but yet it's registering as the letter next to it. I so much prefer a full size monitor and a regular keyboard to using a phone or a tablet.

Of course! They dont come to town often. Who knows, you might even be able to say that you saw a rare double sabres win (win the game and fire ka)

If KA is removed from the GM position, it’s unlikely he will have any meaningful influence on hockey decisions. Even if he was given the title of POHO, it will carry little influence in the hockey side of the business. For the sake of argument, let’s assume Jarmo takes over the GM job. If Jarmo wants to make a trade and KA disagrees in his POHO role, KA would be ignored.

I'm in Vancouver, thinking about heading down tonight and buying a cheap ticket from a scalper. Should I?

Terry: Hey Kevin...go get your f***ing shine box

Let Lindy keep going after him publicly. Win or lose, somebody in the org needs to start screaming publicly that the call is coming from inside the house.

Terry: “Hey Kevvie, I have an extremely important mission for you. I’m sorry it will take you away from your playing GM tasks, but there’s reports there are leaks in the roof of the arena. You must figure out the scope of this issue and report back to me. I’m looking at you to take the lead here, alright buddy? Now go.”

Launch him into the moon and let him be the regional scout for the Sea of Tranquility.

Promoting Adams to director of arena operations is the Xmas gift we have been waiting for since he was hired. Moving on from Adams must happen for this franchise to survive. I’m more than ready for Jarmo to take over and start reshaping the roster. He needs to figure out what pieces are part of the solution. He needs to start in goal. Unfortunately, I think we are stuck with UPL. Therefore we must become a counter punch lock down defensive team. That starts by moving on from Byram or Power and replacing them with a D first player. Who are the keeper pieces? - Doan, Benson, Dahlin, McLeod, Timmins, Samuelsson, Norris (only because we are stuck with him), and Tage. Everyone else is expendable or replaceable.

Terry’s butler or chauffeur down in Boca?

Not really, if you know you're not renewing KA as the GM you don't want him going into the trade deadline and handling the Tuch negotiations. Unless by "strange timing" you meant this should have happened 3 years ago, in which case I agree.
