How’d that work out for him?

Look, I get that you hate the negativity around here. I do too. But that doesn’t mean you have to have to attempt to refute every single post that casts even the slightest amount of shade on the Sabres organization. It’s blatantly obvious that this was a bargain bin GM hiring, and this is one of those cases of you get what you pay for.

So Pegula either rolled out the brinks truck for Adams or he was a low cost hire. I’ll let you choose whichever one you’d be more happy with.

And you believe that? Adams himself is a cost-saving hire.

Unproven but NHL ready. For once, they didn’t add another 18-20 year old.

At least with Doan there’s the age factor. He’s just coming out of his ELC and is 4-9 years younger than anyone else on that list. The rest are what they are, but he’s still developing.

Like Bernard-Docker, he didn’t receive a qualifying offer. So that’s your surprise right there.

And meanwhile many around here are ready to write someone off after one year as a pro. Our minds have been so warped by the last 14 years.

Most things have a good concept but then are quickly ruined by humanity.

Fixed that for you.

They’ve rushed so many players in recent years. I like seeing a few guys left to simmer a bit now. I know some might take issue, but I think it’s better for most players.

So you’re saying that Kaleta’s 27-27-54 over 348 games ISN’T “definitely better” than Danforth’s 31-33-62 in 183 games?

Storbak, Mertka, and Robrock? I could live with that.

This makes me wonder how many teams actually see 2 hearings in any given year.

I do wonder how different he could look if he's consistently getting 3rd pair minutes.
