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

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 Also: there cannot BE a fundamental change in the owner unless Adams is fired. People keep saying “unless Terry changes it doesn’t matter”. Not firing Adams is confirmation nothing has changed. If he’s fired it means there’s at least a possibility these takes are leaning dangerously close to “well we can’t win the cup so why make the playoffs at all.” like, no. Perfect can never be the enemy of good. Some change is better than nothing

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

Ohtani is a Jay

Sabres hire Jarmo on May 30 and this account is created officially on July 4th (after the approval process is complete)?
