Thorny

Did he say that? Sorry I hate watching these things. Just about to go through the thread. That’s good he said that

That’s the most positive thing, here: the 5 year timeline appears to be on the mark. If Adams had got to enter into next season with Granato still here, he could have been the sacrificial lamb hiring to get KA ‘25-‘26. I think this means KA himself is on hot seat for 24-25 and that’s the WAY it should be. Positive development

As for Donny, I mentioned towards the end of the season: even as someone who hasn’t been quick to get on him, I was starting to question how you could objectively bring the guy back when the team looked to have so thoroughly resigned themselves to slow starts being unfixable. He seemed out of answers. They had to do it. And Terry paid Wish Granato the absolute best

For now

Results are bad, don’t care about your semantics WELL? Ftr I thought he’d be back too haha

Probably only 2-3, ya. But that’s a non-negligible chuck, honestly. Individual players on hockey teams except for the top guys don’t seem to have huge WARs Jimmy had it

It does. Terribly so. Which, now that we’ve gotten through the season without collapse, proves the board correspondingly great

I enjoyed typing it

Dahlin and Tuch finish tied for the team lead in points at 59 apiece Dahlin lead in assists with 39 Thompson lead in goals with 29

Ya I mean he certainly has a few sizeable moves to his name but sometimes people just have zero interest in relative comparison. He’s been here 4 years. The amount of transactions most others teams make has dwarfed him. He makes some moves but I wouldn’t think “proactive” is something that comes to mind where Kevyn is concerned Lack of replacing Quinn a good microcosm He’s proactive with handing out contracts

also most of those moves were 3 years ago The criticism is that the team has been bad for 4 years and bad the 9 years before that

11, that’s a fun draft pick*. Don’t get that a lot. At least we aren’t 8 *should trade it

Likely would have stayed 22 anyways no?

Detroit with a HUGE come from behind win to potentially save their season

That’s a wrap on another successfully completed Sabres season. Was a pleasure sharing GDTs with you folks i don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve

Who’s the best of your lifetime? Moses?

They just need to get a little younger

No, I’m not. The team has been bad for a long time We are talking an almost 30 year period of GMs here lol since the guy before Darcy

What was that quote that disappeared @ me?

It’s not 2000 anymore lol Darcy started almost 30 years ago whos the best of your lifetime?

Honestly I can’t even remember who the GM was before him Muckler? I wasn’t really processing the value of transactions at the time Darcy started when I was 11
