...that bad at drafting. The rest?

Yes, I know all of Adams flaws. But that comment about him not being able to draft a Mario Lemieux with 10 picks was just a forced dumb thing to say.

To be fair, that's true of every GM, right? BTW, Adams traded up to grab JJ in the 2nd round. So you're not sold on Benson and Kulich?

But his draft picks are pretty good. Ironic, huh?

LOL, so funny. So tell me, what Adams pick is a bust? Helenius? Östlund? Peterka? Benson? Kulich?

It's also hedging. To fix a problem you have to understand the problem.

Do you believe the last 14 seasons failed for the exact same reason?

No, but will we wait until the end of next season to turn negative? Everyone wants to be the first to say "I told you so." People are already hedging their bets saying this move changes nothing.

Lol, exactly.

So... Appert to scouting? Leone to Lindy's assistant? Lindy retires/gets moved up and Leone takes over?

The bigger question: How long before we are calling for Kekäläinen's head?

Se on vitun typerä idea. - per Google Translate Who knew "idea" means the same in Finnish?

Is he part of the Sabres plans moving forward?

If anyone cares: Charlotte smoked Laval in Game 1. I guess the Rocket blew their wad on the Amerks. https://theahl.com/news/checkers-barrage-grounds-rocket-in-game-1

The CPB at Bellingham decided to start searching Canadian vehicles more frequently. No explanation was ever given. No wonder folks are reticent to cross.

I have to wonder how enforceable that clause is since the NHL ultimately decides where their franchises play.

I think it was Botterill.

Atlanta is quite serious about bring the NHL back. I didn't pull that city out of thin air. "I don't think the prior two "visits" have any bearing on whether or not we would go back." - Gary Bettman on Atlanta returning to the NHL. May 9, 2025.

Are you high or just obtuse? I stand by my 35% claim. The stats, which you choose to ignore, bear that out. I added that any reduction hurts. I'm not moving goalposts. But if you want to invent something to give yourself an excuse to slink away, go ahead.

You're really stretching to claim it won't. We have Canadians on this board. Maybe they can give us an idea of how fans feel about crossing the border? The fact remains any reduction in market population hurts an already small Buffalo market.

I never said season ticket base. I said drop in market, as in the number of people who could choose to attend a game. The fan in St Catherines or even Fort Erie who doesn't want to risk a Sabres or Bills game because his might be the car that gets taken apart by CPB because they're bored that day.

I don't care if you believe me or not. It doesn't change reality. Okay. I found you a link. https://utahhockeyclub.kslsports.com/

If this is true then 1) the Sabres stay 2) Terry will remain the owner.
