Not sure about Adams. So much relief that Jason isn't making this summer's decisions.

It's crazy that he's citing the lack of communication as an issue. That was literally supposed to be Jason's whole thing

Does one person in the organization know that the last three seasons have seen a rolling average of last place, in offensive chance creation counts/measures? I'd love for them to mention it so we can at least have some hope it's on the radar of things to address

That was a waste of time. Swamp was right

Dang, my bruce dreams only lasted 4 hours

Terry is crazy bad at all aspects of this stuff lol

Dang, Mike.

Worth worrying about.

FWIW in the last or second to last game I seem to recall Wayne sitting on the bench for a while.

Hi Mike, thanks for the question and I look forward to working with you. Ralph and I have concluded an exhaustive search by coming to terms with Bruce Boudreau on an agreement to be the head coach of the Buffalo Sabres. Ralph will serve the team in an advisory role while I report to him as GM, and Bruce reports to me as head coach. We look forward to stocking the front office with experienced staff and scouts, and believe that for the future to matter, we must start winning today. Our offseason will be conducted with this in mind. We will put every ounce of effort we have into winning, every second of every day. We will welcome the desperation and drive of players whose intensity may have scared us off in years past. Our long national nightmare is over.

I'm less interested in what they say about how great they'll be next year than I am the potential for some beans to be spilled.i have a lot invested in the Jason sucks narrative

Also, nhl insiders are beyond useless unless providing gossip they were told None of them had jason getting fired, and all of their analysis settled on it being the players fault for the most part. Just useless, uninteresting analysis, rarely more than 20% correct/accurate/complete in scope

I'm tuning in. But only cuz work is the alternative

Pleasant to see versus the alternative.

This reminds me of that time when, like, 3 days into this quarantine experience, celebs all thought what the people of this country really needed was to see their faces again. So they sang "imagine there's no heaven" to us from their lavish mansions as our family members perished due to a virus In hindsight their desperate attempts to satiate their craving for attention, 1% of the way into this ordeal, is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time

@Taro T, Scandy was signed by the Blues for a few years

No small part of me is already resigned to this being our foreseeable future - and reason to not be excited about anything

The "worst case scenario" is this as far as I'm concerned. It beats the hell out of Jason getting another offseason. So I'm net-happy. A little reserved though because who the hell is Adams

That's what I figure you meant. They might have been spooked by his comments.

All I'm sayin is that my dream scenario is still a distinct possibility and I'm going to cling to it for as long as I can.

That was always a jason fib. If it is Adams (who has been here and seen the last few years) or a competent gm, we never have to hear anything like that again

I'm gonna hope while I still can that - Philosophical differences involved jason being content to lean on the kids for all major holes, and the pegulas/ralph wanting better for the immediate roster Krueger/Adams reconfiguring the organization means that they both work to establish a competent real GM and one of the available good coaches, and we wind up with the organizational structure we have been pining for, and Krueger's year of observations and study have pointed him in this direction, him convincing the pegs that Jason and that structure would never work

What on earth could have changed the owners' tune? Nothing has happened Lol maybe jason had had them sold on the Pilut top 4 plan and then he left and they realized that the excess of defensemen that was gonna help our top six turned into a normal number of defensemen plus only a 4th rounder.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh I mean I'm thrilled. Ive wanted this since july 1st 2018. But they just said they weren't going to do it? Kinda weird? And who is Adams?

You'd think watching Hutton allow at least 5 goals in a huge percentage of games right in a row as we fought to keep our season alive would have been enough. People here were apoplectic he kept being put on the ice. Ralph was starting Jonas freaking Johansson over a rested Hutton. Jason would be mad to do this
