Totally agree Modo.

Now let's start getting ready for a busy time leading up to the deadline. Everyone available apart from Cozens, Bryson, borgen. That's how I'd go.
-
If I'm granato I'm sending okposo and eakin to the taxi squad and bringing asplund and Smith in and keeping them up the rest of the season. Then after the deadline bring up Brett Murray and whoever else we need and roll with them getting as much game time as possible. Blow it up at the deadline and then with who we have left let them play the game and not get them systemised.

The path I would take if I were Adams:
1) fire Krueger and his entire staff (I might keep Bales because we will need a body and a reference to what came before)
2) hire Boudreau as an interim coach with the focus of evaluating what we have and reporting to Adams at the end of the season.
3) hire Rutherford as a short-term consultant with a focus on evaluating what we have and advising Adams on player personnel and hockey department structuring
4) trade every pending UFA — Hall, Staal, Montour, Rieder, Sheahan, Irwin — with a focus on accumulating assets to fuel a summer rebuild
5) tell Boudreau to focus his attention on reclaiming Skinner and Dahlin
6) play the crap out of Bryson, Casey, Tage, Dylan, Joki and Asplund, while giving a taste to some of the guys down on the farm
7) evaluate the trade market for every other veteran.
Take what you've learned at the end of the season, formulate a plan for fixing this mess including hirings, signings and trades, and execute that plan.
Sounds good. Too much like sense. No 6 totally agree. Play these guys. No more vets please

Agree we need an experienced NHL coach but give me anyone rather than self preservation RK anyday.

What comments?
The amount of points they they are back from a play off spot they should be playing more loose. A dig at Kruegers system?

If that's true regarding Taylor I absolutely despise the man. He can take his coaching and horrible system and shove it!!!! Well done to hall and reinhart for there comments last night. Thats on you Ralph and your system!!!

Do we really want RK rubbing his stink off on the "kids"? He's pretty much ruined everyone else
Was kinda hoping he'd be gone😀

If this is krueger's final game tonight and I really hope it is the one of many things that will have annoyed me about his time with us was his preference to play veterans over our younger players. Drives me crazy. Hopefully when he's replaced whoever comes in gives them a chance.

Time to let the kids play. Time to bring up R2. Time to give Cozens and Mitts bigger roles. Time to open up the offense and let Montour and Dahlin do what they do best and it’s past time to get rid of RK
Totally with this. Sit the vets and let the kids play.

Well just trading Reinhart isn't going to solve anything but I'd certainly welcome moving on from the entire core as I've said repeatedly. None of them have emerged as hard working leaders and so none of them are untouchable. In all trades it of course depends on what you get back but I think you either go all in on deals or you don't bother cause moving one or two bodies won't change anything.
Reinhart's name was just mentioned though as one name or many. The statement was that they're calling everybody and all names are on the table for discussions.
On the current active roster the only untouchable to me is Cozens. I wouldn't trade Bryson or Borgen or any of the prospects that seem promising like Pekera. I'd want a lot for Dahlin as I think he can still be saved with the right team and coaching. Pretty much everybody else is expendable or irrelevant.
Your last paragraph. With you 100%

Blow what up? We are in last place every year....how much worse can you get? Hire an experienced , quality GM and let him run the team.
What we should have done in 2017 instead of a first timer. Same with the coaching decisions. Catalogue of errors.

I just think he’s sick of playing RK’s “system”.
I can't believe Krueger is not gone. Hopefully he will be by Sunday night. This team is gone on him.

You can move players wherever you want, but it will not work. Until the tactics change, there will be no results. Just throwing the puck forward and hoping for luck is not hockey.
My mate gave me his login details for NHL TV so I could watch last night's game. Couldn't face it so didn't bother. Before covid outbreak I nearly broke my phone in a rage as couldn't believe how bad we were playing. I honestly cannot watch this team at the moment.

How about swapping HC's for a game. Come on over Alain Vigneault!
Wonder what he would get out of our roster if he was coach. Would allow the players to play the game for a certainty.

Just because we disagree it doesnt mean i would disconnect my self from your opinions.
I do not care one tiny bit about nationality, never would when it comes to hockey. You and i just see this completly different.
Ralph cannot coach this team, he just cant and that is the problem. We can trade for any ***** players and we still gonna lose because Ralph dont know jack ***** about what he is doing. He is so bad. I hate Ralph for what he is doing to this team, and because of him we have 3 supetstars that are lost in space, together with a bunch of stars.
This team need a coach, a furious coach with a mental mind way above this trash organisation. Until we have that u can go trade whatever u like, result still gonna br the same.
Sums it up. The problem is on the bench. Rk needs to go.

Wonder what the changes will be? Who's coming in to freshen things up. System will choke any change.

You answered your own question; it happens year after year because of the Pegulas, the one variable in all this that never changes.
We can only pray they (the Pegulas) won't be around in 5 years.
I continue to hold out hope that they will sell the Sabres when they realize it just isn't working and they can't focus their efforts on two franchises at the same time.
A Pegula sale of the Sabres is the fastest way out of the woods for Sabres fans, but only as long as the new owner isn't equally inept.
That's what needs to happen and hopefully if it does the new owner isn't as incompetent. Would just love to see this group of players under a different coach. Let them play the game to there strengths and hopefully we can start scoring. Please don't systemise them.

Could not agree more. This is a huge problem, but to be frank Victor never show much feelings when scoring, he always been like that and he dont like to "show off"
But yes, the lack of chemistry in this group of players is insane. And that is on the sh1tcoach him self, mr totally ***** useless Ralph Kreuger.
I want him gone and replaced by a real coach, will not happen though with pegulas and adams running the show.
Needs to happen though Modo. How long will this s shambles be allowed to continue. Ralph out.

Biron today (I am paraphrasing): Just wreck it and rebuild again. It's been ten years, what's the difference if it's another two or three?
I am having a very hard time disagreeing.
I would do it. Ralph would be the first one gone.

Mental????? I know I'm going mental having to watch his systems!!!!!

He went elsewhere before we signed RK. But that being said i'm started to lean towads firing him myself now, this team looks much worse than before our two week covid break. Its tank level bad.
How long does it go on with GMKA taking any action. Was it not meant to be playoffs no matter what this season. At the moment I don't see where our next win is coming from. I am also mind numbingly frustrated beyond belief at this teams inability to score.
