I’m not even holding out hope for an outright firing. My top hope right now is: ”relieved of GM duties, reassigned to another spot in the organization (ie the old future considerations)”. Failing that it’s: ”relieved of GM duties, reassigned to an advisor/senior advisor role within the organization.” After that is: ”Adams promoted to POHO, so and so takes over as GM.” …which, yes, I’ll still accept as a win because it’s a made up title and aside from the owner things clearly run through the GM, here.

I find it absolutely hilarious they may have snuck in an extension and not announced it out of fear. Would explain why this leaked, people in the org itself are done with this weasel

Won’t be over until it’s over Madness

Trade was made about a month after Jarmo got here

Hughes by far best player in trade, I like it for the Wild tbh

With the recent “Jarmo has made a strong impression” comment with the context being Adams’ likely canning I’m going to choose to believe it was Jarmo responsible for the Doan acquisition no further questions at this time

With Graham reporting it I think it’s over Would be a crazy leak if they actually didn’t end up doing anything

Looks like it’s really happening

His signature transaction is the opposite

No it’s not. It’s literally been suggested there’s no point in canning the GM if nothing else changes. I’ve explained why I disagree both practically for how and why it could help the team and also personally Adams isn’t just a symptom. He’s also cause

As is the bit where I mentioned how Adams came upon the job - by firing a bunch of people even Botterill would rather *quit a rare and valued GM job for* than axe. It’s actually possible to have standards and gather the measure of a man. Or at least my opinion of such. Adams is a slime ball. The way he took the job was offensive. The way he conducts business is offensive. The way he speaks to the fans is condescending and belittling. He’s a fraud. “Yes man”? Try: enabler. Purely interested in promoting the strategy that levies him the most job security personally. Fostered THE worst environment player wise we’ve ever seen, as evidenced by the stick salute fiasco that was proof of the willing disenfranchisement of fans. He’s crafted a roster I despise due to his infecting presence. his presence alone tarnishes the crest to the point of it being unrecognizable to me. Swept in the first round? Who - Adams? Who cares. The sabres existed before him and will exist after. He’s not the Sabres. It’s time for him to say goodbye.

And if we can’t get all that we should just do nothing, agree

The metric of whether or not Adams is general manager Is measurable with a yes or no: it’s not dependant on other factors

I promise you I will not be. Where is Promo when you need him? *I want Adams to fail*. I’m not one of those people pretending to enjoy the solitary and few and far between wins when they arrive: I think I’m just the guy who says the quiet part out loud. It’s a vendetta. I don’t like Grima Wormtongue. He’s a slimy, inept professional who I’ve been calling see-through and disingenuous since day one. As long as he’s here as GM it’s not my team. I cannot possibly be disappointed by his firing because it’s the means to my end in and of itself

GM has the most affect on day to day in Buffalo. If we create a fake role for Adams I’d imagine the sway the role has is tantamount to a fake position
