I disagree. I think what has gone for years is firmly embedded and the only way to change it, the only way to make it a destination again, is to publicly announce and then act on a radical change. If they did this the first thing you would see in the media and the 32 thoughts and all that is "radical change in Buffalo" "is this the beginning of a new era?" etc. Would it work? idk, maybe not, but right now Philly, who were behind us in rebuild terms are a playoff bubble team with a prospect cupboard pretty good looking especially Martone. Things might change, but they do seem to have not only survived the Torts surgery but are also better for it. I can't even begin to compare the Bruins plan to what the Sabres do as it's mindboggling that it is already working but the Yzerplan is also ahead and everybody was laughing at that too. The only other failed rebuild right now is Nashville. Calgary and Vancouver are in tear down mode. So I guess those will be the next three we compare to and see pass us unless they do something new here.

He certainly sounds like he’s gaining experience. I’m not sure a jump right to the NHL would be appropriate. Maybe as a replacement for Leone when we give him a spot behind the Sabres bench.

The flight captain will announce it over the PA on the way back.

Amerks are 1-1 in the second. Helinus not in lineup. Not sure why.

Probably not, but they have a better shot now. They have 2 elite forwards in Kaprizov and Boldy. A solid D-corps led by Faber and now Quinn. Elite goaltending. They're weak down the middle, but a strong blue line and elite goaltending can make up for a lot.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/canucks-place-forward-lukas-reichel-on-waivers/ What is the deal with this guy? He was a heralded prospect and then suddenly Chicago couldn’t wait to dump him. He goes to Vancouver and rumors start to pop up that he is available again and now they just waive him.

Want no part of that player or contract. Immensely skilled, but fragile mentally, and prone to sulking. That's the LAST thing this outfit needs. Good for Minnesota. Great hockey market, glad to see them do well. They seem to be coming out the other side of the Parisi/Suter buyouts just fine and didn't have to tank to do it. Shows what can be done with a competent GM.

I would have fired Adams by year 2, and immediately after the palm trees bs. Maybe Terry finally had enough, but I'm doubtful. Wishing this to be true.

If it's gonna happen, it will be Monday

Late to the thread and a little past halfway thru. Just wanted to add that if KA is bumped up to POHO then the entire concept of EEE was utter bullsh!t. I can’t think of anything more inefficient and costly.

They're both very good, and I'm a big Dahlin fan, but Hughes is a bit better. He's won the Norris in 2024.

Because we’re “almost there”? “So close”? We’re talking about making bold moves with intelligent hockey people who know how to run an organization. I think many of us are like Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation…Worse? How can it get any worse?

I would presume they do.

Vancouver had interest in Byram as well.

I wonder what promotion TP is giving Howdy Doody for Xmas?

We need to pull a Ted Lasso here Oh wait… we already tried that with Ralphie boy

The last thing this ghetto franchise needs is acting irrationally due to desperation. That will only set this 😆 laughed at franchise farther back and make it an even lesser appealing place for potential new staff and players. Acting more intelligently and competently might not sound very jazzy, but it is what this dumb franchise needs more of.

My guess is maybe Power was part of the offer? Maybe?

... how many lhd do we need? Adams need to gtfo, he's just collecting things hoping it might work. He's got no imagination and no ideas of his own.

In other words, revolution not evolution. I’m in.

Our best goalie is on another roster waiting for us to acquire him. Unless Levi is the savior, it's certainly not Lyon, UPL or Ellis (at least yet).
