The only problem is that, just like the jets, when they fire their coach we run the slight risk of them finally making the right hire.

Every ***** NHL team you could say this about. It's been 14 years, everyone has a better and faster rebuild. What's next, "ice is cold" or "Josh Allen wears 17" Wow, enlightening.

What a joke. You think being wrecked by a mediocre Washington team in 5 games matters. Also love how now you're changing the goalposts. Let's say Buffalo makes it that Granato year, then loses in 5 games, they would be exactly where they are now. Buffalo is losing because Adams has no vision of his own and blows in the wind based on what ever Pegula or the coach of the month wants. "This Sabres ideology..." what in the actual ***** would be the point of making the playoffs and then going back to sucking for 5 years? What team in the league wants that? You think some magical ***** will occur because they sneak in one year, like some special switch will flip in their brains and suddenly they won't be able to miss! What garbage. They keep missing because they have trash gms, 4th rate coaching, and league average drafting. Montreal made the playoffs, let's see if they do again, otherwise everything you wrote here is worth less than used toilet paper.

To the bold, you have been in this Sabres bubble too long. Making the playoffs is what it's all about and that's how you build a winning culture. This Sabres ideology of when we get there we want to stay there has reaped what so far? Nothing. A serious organization knows you need to WIN and WINNING is all that matters. That's how you build your culture. Now I hate Montreal so I hope everything goes bad and they crash and burn but right now, objectively, I see a much better GM and a much better rebuild. I hate it. But it's reality. I think the only thing we ever agree on is that Buffalo's coaching is not good. Bad actually. Is that all it would take? No, that's where we disagree but there will be plenty of threads for that. Somebody with a lot of time on their hands should go back and look at all the teams that were below us or equal to us over the last 15 years and see how many of them have moved past. It's quite a few. Not all the rebuilds have been all that great, but there's quite a few better than the Sabres.

I'm in the wrong business...I need to sell stuff to stadiums looking to upgrade and overcharge them by 5x what you could get them yourself.

That all! 😀

Nope. And I don’t really care. Gotta be at least $100m if I had to guess.

Do you know how much he paid for his big boat?

Yep. I pointed that out a while ago when some around here were saying the stadium costs were impacting his ability to fix the Sabres and their arena when that couldn’t be farther from the truth. And I would say that given the revised NFL franchise values put out by Forbes, he and his minority partners nicely padded their worth since. I wonder how much the PSL revenues defrayed his costs. It will be interesting to find that out.

Ah yes, does my heart good to see if he Dolphins getting their ***** pushed in opening week.

Plus the PSL money.

He got 1 billion dollars when he sold a 20%-ish stake in the Bills.

We can argue all we want about Adams, but he did make moves. Cozens out, Norris in Peterka out, Kesselring + Doan in Lafferty out, Danforth in Reimer out, Lyon in Clifton out, Timmins in Will it ultimately get this team to the playoffs? I keep putting them at 85pts but idk, with how good Dahlin and Thompson are maybe 95pts is possible. My point though is, dislike Adams all you want, but he's essentially flipped 2 of the top 6 forwards and 2 of the bottom 4 defense since the trade deadline.

Well, considering Pegs is on the hook for $1.35b ( his original $550m, plus $800m in overruns) for his share of New Highmark Stadium costs, perhaps he’s tapped out. 😄

Add it to an actual lifetime of suffering and you know why I only contribute snark to the forum now.

I'm gonna guess I saw more of Montreal last year than you did. They had major defense issues. Their forwards had similar problems to Buffalo. They got timely goaltending but they were eliminated in 5 games by a Washington team that wasn't that deep. Why the ***** should I care if Buffalo makes the playoffs and gets smoked in 5 games? You should hang a banner for Montreal. Their only aggressive move is Dobson, which I really like. As I noted, should be interesting to see if they've truly stepped past Buffalo. Until then, you're comparison is ***** for the reasons I stated. I guess we will find out this year. They certainly could be better than Buffalo, especially after Buffalo brought the same coaching staff back.

The amount of people who simply can't process the fact that the league is in a paradigm shift where cap space is going to be nowhere near as important is just stunning.

It hasn't happened in Chicago. LA was on that sorry excuse of a governor allowing ICE agents to be assaulted, but you know that. The president has the same authority over the DCNG as governor's have over thier state's NGs, perhaps you just don't know that. Bowser has publicly stated numerous times she supports Trumps actions, so no, there is absolutely no difference between NY and DC.

The State and County are tapped out after the Bills stadium and the City is broke. I guess Terry is going to spend the half billion dollars to get the arena up to league standards. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sabres have packed a lifetime of suffering into my 39 years so far on this earth

They opened cap space to add a player now or at the deadline. As was mentioned, rumor has it they are trying to trade for Lundell but they want a top 6 forward and they are doing what they need to for that. If they do nothing then no, they didn't improve, but it's a move to make a move so wait and see. As for San Jose, they want to roll with a bunch of ELCs in a total rebuild so we can watch and see if they build faster than the Sabres or not. It's a plan. We shall see how it goes. They likely want to be in on McKenna and then they will start to add with that next free agent grouping which at this point looks massive.

Montreal might not even make the playoffs but their rebuild is going much better and faster than the Sabres. The make up of that team is substantially different and they have it more correct. GM is much more aggressive and active. Not every move is great but he makes moves and more work than don't.

Could have. Should have. Would have. But they DID. Sabres Did NOT. You are still too reliant on looking at stats rather than on ice success. If you believe these two teams are equivalent you are delusional. They are rebuilding aggressively and correctly. The Sabres are not. Sabres have made ZERO progress under Adams.

DOJ staffer caught on video saying redacting every republican name is exactly what they will do. Caught. On. Video. Something, something … hyperbole?

If they redact a single Republicans name than every single one of them is guilty until proven otherwise at that point.
