He spent his entire career with an inept, loser franchise and finally comes a chance to sign elsewhere and now he’s not tough enough to stick it out? lol this is a great take. The only reason anyone has re-signed here the last decades is security, overpayment, or knowing we are their only suitor.
I think you're criticism of the organization is of course warranted.
However, Ollie is now a player we're going to defend in an effort to further criticize them? Now that's the weak take.

Predictable. I don't think he wants to be anywhere near what the Sabres players are about to experience. Not that they'll hate Lindy and he's about to grind them to a stump. Ollie just doesn't seem like the type of player to embrace the suck. My guess is he won't be in the NHL much longer.

They are missing a key ingredient and Lindy won't provide it. It comes from within.
I'm not sure we know that yet but we're about to. There might be more in the belly of some of these players. I'm anxious to find out.

Unless the roster is improved, the coach won't matter much.
I'll have to disagree with you here. The roster definitely needs to improve, but I think a coach could have gotten more than, not much, out of the current one.

Wow. I don't mind this at all. I just really hope they seriously looked at all the options.

I just need more than a half of a seasons production, he was Comrie-bad before this resurgence.
I think the difference is Comrie will be 29 in July and UPL turned 25 last Month.

Oh my god no. 4 million for 3 is as high as I'd go and it's a little risky and high but likely Adams has to go that high given UPL's season and his desperation.
Your 7 million would mean only Bobrovsky and Vaselevsky would be active goalies paid more.
Ideally I'm paying him 3x3.
My guess is he meant 6-7 mil total for 3 years.

We don't really "know" anybody on the internet, or any professional athletes, or any billionaires at all.
We can certainly make some educated guesses based on local interactions, interviews and decisions regarding the franchise.- We know for a fact that Terry likes to meddle. It has been questioned and defended by Terry across nearly every hockey hire he has made.
- We know he would rather make a decisions himself rather than professional consensus; he literally said owners thought he was crazy for the Ville Leino deal.
- We know that this organization has a toxic work culture. That has been been said since before the pandemic.
- We know the Sabres model is all about economics, efficiency, his family lifestyle and tax breaks. This is a definitive shift from when he bought the team.
Most importantly we know that Terry is really, really, really, really bad at being the owner of an NHL team. Like historically bad. We also know that his greatest successes in business come as an engineer/geologist, not as a people manager. So it isn't crazy to be on an internet message board and attribute bad leadership qualities to somebody who has shown to be.....a historically terrible leader. Some may be more accurate than others, but most are likely not super far off base.
I appreciate the time it took to respond in such length and detail. I'm sorry though, as smartly written as your post is, it's full of conjecture. I suppose what makes you feel the most supported of your opinion is that we are historically bad. I just can't get onboard with you pretending to know that a 73 year old man's entire work history is and that he's never managed people before this. It's absolutely likely that people are misinformed and wrong on a message board, when it's a fact that they couldn't have the information to be credible.
You think Kim Pegula created a toxic work culture?
It's been suggested he has taken professional advice on hires, so the Leino example from 12-13 years ago, eh.
You lost me at meddling. He's the owner and it's perfectly legitimate and reasonable for decisions to be explained to him before they're made.
There's obviously been a change since he bought the team to present. I don't know what it is and neither do you. Except we continue to lose and frustration doesn't begin to explain what this fan base is going through.

Terry has been kicking around Buffalo circles for some time. Well before he bought the Sabres. Jerry Forton's brother-in-law is Terry's business manager in oil and gas. Jerry has always been very plugged in in Buffalo, his wife is an event planner who has been managing all the Jim Kelly and Ryan Miller events for decades.
The relationship goes so far back that I always assumed Jim Kelly's decade long blubbering before Ralph died about "assembling a buying group" was Terry Pegula.
Terry is a trained in oil and gas, not in people management. There is this constant take that he must be good at business, or people, or whatever because he amassed fortune. He amassed fortune by finding natural gas. He has another business partner (not employee, but partner) who manages people, structure, etc.
That's good information and I've read it before, possibly from you or SS.
I just don't see how it gives us much insite as interestingasitis. Would you agree that we know very little about Terry's involvement, thoughts and motives are? We just don't hear much from him.
I get that frustration leads to fans having wild opinions but I stand by my post.

To be fair, how do you know he was hurt? It's all speculation either direction. Tage has been average this year. That's a fact. All else is 'whatever'
To be fair, I didn't claim to know. Interesting that you didn't ask this question of the person, who said he doesn't believe he's been hurt.
We agree, Tage has not played well. All else isn't whatever, it's opinion. I don't like when it's presented as truth.

Man, I have been nothing but positive when the seasons started
Sorry for voicing my opinion when the team is ***** absolutely horrendous
I don't think there's any issue with voicing your opinion but you don't like when it's challenged.
For example, how could you possibly know if Tage has or hasn't been hurt? You don't just say, well I don't think he was/is/has been. You say , oh yeah, if he's so hurt, why didn't he pull himself from the lineup?
That's just being overtly nonsensical because you take entirely too much joy from the demise of the team.
It's nauseating and I'm calling you out on it.

Spewing nonsense doesn't make you a hero. The team sucks and it fits your posting history perfectly. You think that makes you smart.

Yeah NHL players shut themselves down when they're hurt. Just when you seemingly can't get more ridiculous, you do.

To think anyone knows Terry Pegula is laughable. It appears he's a guy that keeps a low profile. His daughter is one of the best women's tennis players in the world and to my knowledge I've never seen him. Yet posters know what he's all about, what he's thinking and how he feels about the Sabres?

pretty sure power poked the puck up the boards to skinner who was allergic to getting it out. However, not even a BLIP of how bad this game is going.
That's not what happened.
Where will Ruff have the biggest impact on this team?

When I think of Ruff as the Sabres coach I remember him being able to adapt. When we had less skill, he built a plan for that. When we had more skill, he built a plan for that also. He seemed to find a way to be competitive, even when the personnel was fastly different.
