There are veteran GMs with winning track records (if you consider merely making the playoffs winning (and I do)) currently out of jobs. Even a GM position in Buffalo is more attractive than not having one at all, I’d say. The hurdle imo is it being an idea Pegula is actually interested in

Yes, I’d say the issue is less so Jack Quinn himself as it was the role and production he was being counted on for based on ~ one full-season’s worth of NHL games played

The Buffalo Sabres will be fine

Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. accept and be happy with whatever hockey team we have, no matter what.

TLJ is very nearly a masterpiece but yes

No one tweeted because Twitter wasn’t a thing

That’s a thing, too: their one claim to fame is that their drafting has been ok? I’m not even sure how well that’s holding up, but even granting that for the sake of argument: the one thing they are good at is the biggest crapshoot where going with the consensus would have a team lose little, anyways. They have no competence in areas that allow us to claw back into it. Doing ok by the 7 picks you make that everyone else gets too is so far from enough demonstrably

Last Harry Potter book wasn’t even out yet

Saying you need creativity to fix this honestly undersells how incompetent they are. It actually doesn’t require much creativity. They are *historically bad* for a reason. They have astronomically deficient dunces manning the important spots id be surprised if I couldn’t throw a stone around here and hit someone who could do a better job. I’m not kidding - I think more people than not could do better. These are stupid people

Agree, but the Star Wars prequel trilogy skates circles around this organization in terms of competence and I don’t even like phantom menace

I can’t get past this we supposedly neglected to spend this year cause we had to save money for the likes of quinn So they looked at the available new info this year and decided it supported doubling down on the strategy? What?

A huge huge part of it is the fallout with Eichel, too. I don’t care if people don’t want to hear it. It’s time to grow up and admit the obvious which goes hand in hand with what you are saying: we TANKED to get this dude. We made the choice to prioritize one player above the team, then had the utter hubris to think we didn’t have to lie in the bed we made after doing wrong by that asset. they looked like amateur hour idiots

It should be unanimously agreed that the priority isn’t winning right now

The Sabres finished with 81 points the season before Adams was made GM. We have averaged 76 points a season since. They are pacing for 79 points this year. He’s taken 5 years to get the team from 81 points to 79. what progress is this utter clown talking about

lmao

Called it, even worse that I thought though. Even after a loss lol

It’s not what the tank has wrought, it’s what the people who made the decision to tank have wrought. The damage of something we did a decade ago would be fixable, if not for the fact the idiocy that employed it is still here

Already turned it off, could not stomach beyond: “to build sustainable success year over year you need to go young.” Literally try to achieve success ONCE first! How stupid does he think the fans are? The utter hubris of this man and this organization remains baffling Well I’ve watched my last game while this dude is the GM

Sounds like we’re in a reasonable position then

lol they boo all the time when the effort is fine. They boo’ed the other night when we were pressing down 1 with the goalie pulled. What they are actually booing is 13 years

Jets aren’t very good Id say the are “good”

No im saying I bet you the players hates the fans. the fans have a right to boo. But imo they are booing management and the owner

It’s over. It’s merely a gesture upon repeated request Adams will even be slightly defensive if we win today lol that’ll give him the ammo to scoff
