Let’s make the playoffs first, then we can worry about how far they go. There isn’t some magic formula these “wizards” as some people are attributing to Cup winning coaches. They just push buttons. Some of them get it right, some of them don’t. You move on until you find one that works. Otherwise there would be only a dozen coaches in the history of the league. They all just kept winning cups because of the magic they performed. 🙄

And amazingly, when he had good players, they made the playoffs.

Loved all of them

You can’t get blood from a stone

This roster is how a baby would put together a hockey team. They need actual men that have been through it. Not Tommy Dangles an d his band of yahoos.

It’s not the players that need to be held “accountable”

Hopefully Jeff Skinner is also that

Nor can Jeff Skinner

This guy?

Seth Appert, much like every coach in the history of coaches, is good because he’s had good players. The Amerks have a better roster this year than the decade of 2010-2020 combined.

NHL coaches are a dime a dozen. They work out for a few years, then they don’t and get fired. Happens to all of them. Glad we got a guy that’s done it. Better than the last 5 hires. He knows the league, the players and the GM. The Sabres could have done way worse. All these guys parrot the same stuff, just with a different voice. Maybe he works out, maybe he doesn’t. Now they need to work on the roster.

Because he was never going to leave

You just listed the players they need 🤣

He shouldn’t even get the chance to see Skinner. First day he’s eligible buy him out or find him a short pier for a long walk.

Lindy Ruff isn’t a proven coach?

The fanbase that didn’t bother to show up the last half of the season? That deserving fanbase?

Yes. Have an open competition. If Levi is better, then keep him up. If not, Amerks fans rejoice. Given how Adams has handled goaltending to date, no chance he gets this right.

It was some of the most bizarre ***** I’ve seen from a league that specializes in bizarre *****.

Which is what I’ve been saying all season to all the accountable yahoos. Everyone was screaming from the rafters, “there is no accountability” , “Granato doesn’t hold anyone accountable”. I asked what that looked like and everyone gave a bunch of platitudes without actually addressing the issue. The players are the problem. Granato wasn’t the solution but the answers have to come from within. These guys need someone who demonstrates personal accountability. I don’t think it’s anyone currently on the roster.

Zay Jones was a super productive college WR. He’s developed into a very nice WR3. 🤯

I can get a compass (ouch), protractor and and abacus in mine. What about you? Like he should have never left Buffalo? Because he absolutely needed to be sent down. His stint in Buffalo went about as poorly as it could have.

McConkey is exactly what they don’t need. Same skill set as Shakir and Samuels. I wouldn’t hate if they drafted him, just not in the 1st round as they already have rostered players who do the exact same thing.

Prepping the fanbase for trading out of the first round. Dammit Beane, I took Friday off for this *****!

And by Sabres you mean Adams because I don’t see many of the current lot laying out anyone ever. Clifton, Benson (sad), sometimes Cozens, super infrequently Samuelsson who seemingly can’t play that way without breaking himself. That’s about it. Novikov is on the way but he’s probably a season away. Adams needs to bring in 3-4 guys that’ll smack ya. I know I’m hoping for a miracle here.
