Thankfully every day is complaint day when it comes to the Sabres. In comparison, for me, everything is great! So I'll wait until tomorrow to post more. 🙂

Noted. Also saw this posted elsewhere.. it does make sense then. So I retract my criticism... a bit. It's still all crap.

This is not accurate and what I alluded to when I posted. They can choose not to accept and the player becomes a free agent. So instead of seeing what happened they just simply said "Out out damned spot" and went about signing a gaggle of low level defenders to two way deals. One might argue they did "right by the player" to release him now so he had a better chance of signing somewhere.

You've identified the one criteria Buffalo clings to when making decisions. Adams couldn't, but Admiral Pegula can. He's a visionary. And now I feel like I had Taco Bell.

I wasn't talking about your calculation. I bolded "Byram" and "Byrum" used in your post within the first few sentences. 🙂

Jarmo's advice was don't do what Admiral Pegula tells you. Adams couldn't comprehend that statement. It short circuited his brain. His thought process was broken on Pegula is right, defend, Pegula, right, defend. And that's how we ended up with all the RHD and no sign of Jarmo.

Back then they had to try to lose.. now it's just natural.

Tuch will be the gauge of that statement. I don't expect him to re-sign given what's been done so far.

It's probably the unspoken strategy of the team. Let's get McKenna. It worked well when they tried it with McDavid.

I've nothing else to say... but curious about the bolded. How does this even happen? 🙂

I only quoted this post. Just a stupid statement by Adams all around. How about you let the arbitration award be handed out and then you let him walk? Everything about the JBD situation is the perfect example of how broken this team is and how they clearly don't think ahead. No plan for Byram. They got JBD as part of the Cozens deal (filled a hole at the time) but clearly had no idea what they were going to do. Now they see younger guys (don't block the youth!) and cheaper guys (by $100k? That's fine tuning EEE). They let the guy walk before they had to do anything. Whatever.. this is the most I've spent talking about this team in the past few months and likely the most I'll spend talking about it for the next year...

I don't, not even for the briefest of moments, think Adams is the head of the organization. Adams is a sycophant who opted to buy-in to the Pegula business model. He accepted being the one having to talk to the media and defend the actions of his boss. Adams can spin any diatribe he would like but after continued failing of the front office across multiple people it's clear that the way he sees fit to run the ship is in accordance to what Admiral Pegula dictates and that he definitely has all the resources to make sure it happens. Adams is not innocent nor would I even try to defend him. But Pegula is who has made this franchise the joke of the sports world and those who sign on to be part of it are just willing accomplices.

Anybody hoping for <insert name here> to Buffalo should avoid getting too close to the edge of any cliffs.

So.. like every politician ever? Then again, Trump is already elected whereas he was inferring that Obama would do it for re-election. Granted, Trump might be doing it for his hope of everlasting re-election...
