What does everyone mean? I get the scouts and whatever asst GMs they have wondering about but replacing an entire coaching staff for both NHL & AHL ain’t easy.

True. He envisioned Ottawa Senators expansion team levels of horrible play, thus his hiring Rolston to help get them there. But he kept some good pieces to be building around after the 2 God awful seasons he expected to have, guys such as Miller. He would've kept most all those draft picks he'd accumulated and they would've been bad for a couple of years after the tank, but they would've been good soon thereafter. The problem with HIS version of tanking is the team was absolutely unwatchable under Rolston when he got to install HIS system right from training camp.

Could just be someone looking for clicks

“Not a bad Ownership tenure..”

This is the way.

The bolded is why this kid is on the anti-Forton bandwagon. Pegula HAS to talk to people besides just Adams and SOMEBODY is telling him, yeah, you're right, Adams is a nice guy that has a good plan that will work if given enough time. Forton would seem to be that guy that Pegula trusts who's pumping Adams tires.

We’ll all believe it when we see it. For me, you have to excise the entirety of the cancer. That means no Adams to POHO. I don’t even want him on the organization on the business side. His entire Sabres career has been the downward spiral of this franchise. Someone else needs to set the culture and expectations. Not Pegula’s friend. Someone else needs to hire the GM and help interview the coaches. There are players that need fresh starts, too. But the department needs a mission and a winning mindset. These people do not have it.

There’s also no way he imagined this level of it

Not ready but I would garth snow higher than Adams 😛

No, he needs to be gone. Adams can go back to harbor center. It's further away.

Maybe my going to see David Byrne was a positive omen.

What has Adams built in 6 years? This team is no closer to a playoff spot than when he started. Goaltending has always been a mess under his watch.

Bowman was the GM in St. Louis. And Regier didn't say there'd be suffering on his way out. He said it as he began the tank. BIG difference.

Didn’t vote. Give me 6 years to assess.

Could be a franchise defining moment though...

Some people here remember when that routine was new.

Was there about a year ago. Now, just want him out. Him and Forton. Let Kekalainen be the POHO and interim GM. Figure out who the next coach should be before this season ends and hire a real GM in the spring/summer.

I saw this online but didn’t Bowman take over GM duties in st Louis?

I think since he's still in place, it's his way of giving Adams an "Incomplete" grade. If it were rewritten next week after Adams gets canned *fingers crossed*, maybe they move him to Number 1.

Only Number 3? Wow.

Superb.

Curious. Did Doug MacClean make the list? I had seasons for Syracuse when he was CBJ GM.

His bottom line is a cop out. It doesn’t matter what he’s “building”. If it takes you 6 years to make the playoffs your plan sucks

I don't mind Adam's having another role in the organization. Hopefully it's just that higher up in the hockey department. Give him some kind of a hybrid role where he talks to the hockey people and works on the business side of things. Just they really got to flush out this entire front office.
