  1. The difference essentially being that Botterill punted ROR’s value into a trust fund to be utilized at a later date waiting for Adams, for reasons best known to himself
  2. Considering how utterly opposed I am to Adams on a professional level when it comes to my beloved hockey team, I’d be lying if I said I haven’t done some painfully candid personal inspection re: a looming conflict of rooting interest should Adams’ be granted the opportunity to complete the final year of his deal. It’s a factor in my 5 years line.
  3. The Sabres just hired Braedon Noah Garrickson as Head of Alias Development.
  4. “Adams should have addressed the roster during the losing streak” is essentially a conversational short cut to “who is trading you a good player mid season? What could Adams have even done?” No thanks: you are right. The issue is that at that point the roster seriously needed addressing, just like the additions we gain by subtraction are the subtractions of Adams’ previous mistakes Even the things he does right are stacked upon the shoulders of previous failures
  5. You couldn’t have responded to me if I didn’t
  6. AND ADAMS FACILITATED THIS ENVIRONMENT lol
  7. On another note: if there’s a wheel, one’s hands coming off it by definition matters The debate is whether the owner installed one I’ve seen enough from Adams to see his fingerprints all over it - and recognize how a shift in that regard may change fortunes
  8. https://puckpedia.com/team/buffalo-sabres - - - You must be joking? We haven’t spent to the cap in 5 years. Surely financial investment is a key form of investment that must be considered Also the comp to sabrespace posters is insulting
  9. Absolutely. It’s really all come home to roost. I’ve been posting about this for 5 years and no it does not feel good being 100% right. We’ve heard it from the players, it’s just like what I said: they were aware the goal wasn’t to win Adams’ long form slow play approach with zero expectations killed the build. He needs to go People will argue with a straight face Adams isn’t the worst GM we’ve seen
  10. Considering that’s the mandate on which Adams took over: it’s no longer my opinion. Adams not being fired would be a farce
  11. Best passer among the forwards on the roster. One of the most appealing for this reason
  12. Nearly 70% are saying he’s “untouchable” or “great”
  13. “Will be a good top 6 piece”
  14. Look i could be wrong but I do think we are getting a new GM
  15. He was evasive about his contract because he won’t be the one negotiating with him
