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

Adams had a fundamental part in the construction, up to and including the philosophy of the strategy, of the roster, and does so as well re: the day to day operations of the team. When the goal is merely playoffs even just a change at GM can make a huge difference Just because you personally don’t value a metric doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value for others. I cannot stress this enough: Adams deserves to be fired. The firing in itself carries a lot of weight for me. It angers me that he’s still here and I could never support a team that wins right now because Adams will get credit and I have a personal vendetta against Adams in the GM role and have since he fired a bunch of people to get the job, and came up with the plan that resulted in the trading of my favourite player, Jack Eichel maybe you simply aren’t used to people being this candid? I need Adams to be fired. It carries a lot of weight for me in and of itself When the team wins it makes me upset because I want Adams to fail. This is because he already has egregiously failed and any success he has now is undeserved and too late

No i totally disagree. Your POV may be accurate as far as most are concerned but you are speaking with someone who hasn’t watched a game this season and won’t until KA is fired. For me it makes a huge difference For me it’s about getting my team back. I’m not watching again until he’s fired - that’s simply the fact of the matter. Maybe I’m on an island, but that doesn’t change the situation as far as I am concerned

Ya it’s definitely a Monday morning thing if it happens

This would all apply if the person making the decision was logical

With it going unmentioned in Friedman’s 32 thoughts I’m starting to think it’s not going to happen

The fear is a win over Seattle gives Terry cold feet

“Not egregiously out of it at Christmas, year 6.” No, it points to these 3 games being meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

Objection

It’s the Buffalo Sabres. Strange is our calling card

Dude is quite literally made of glass He makes Bogosian look like an iron man

He’s a veritable smorgasbord of ineptitude

You hate the fans and don’t want anyone to be happy lol People are going to celebrate if Adams is finally removed as GM. It’ll be a long time coming. You will have to deal with that joy

“Gotta save for the Peterka and Quinn extensions! Can’t possibly address the roster now, we need to save the space.”

If he gets Ws today and Sunday, those 2 wins combined with Edmonton cover him for the Monday-Wednesday off days. Then it all comes down to Philly. A win gets him through the off day, then he’s got the islanders. its a back to back, so he can recoup some ground with a win vs the devils the next day, keeping an extra “24 hours” in his back pocket gotta play the game but it can be done
