There is a huge difference. What is the best result from this failed season? That is getting a top 4 pick. What is the best way for this team to move forward for next season? Get a new GM, get new coaches, and revamp the defense with veteran defenders. Adding a proven playmaker on offense couldn’t hurt either. It’s doubtful that the top 4 pick would be ready for the NHL next year. Even if he is, it doesn’t change what needs to be done to the team overall.

Right. Hard to coach successfully when you don’t have the players.

Not Lindy’s coaching. He was the scapegoat for all their injuries on defense and poor goaltending.

As long as Adams is the GM this rebuild is dead. They aren’t good enough to prevent goals. They really have no chance of winning. Get the top 5 pick, bring in a new GM, bring in veteran players and try again next season.

Sadly, after tonight the best solution for this team this season is to lose out. Be entertaining, but the only way things change here is the wheels, doors, chassis and steering column all come off and the team gets booed off the ice. Re-signing Bryson, a completely unnecessary and frankly useless signing, is just another example of how tone deaf and incompetent this franchise is. Seriously, why make news when your team is failing that you’re bringing back again a sub-replacement level player and basically implying that your plan is to run it back one more time despite that plan failing for the last 14 years. It’s time for the NHL to intervene.

That play encapsulates the Sabres in a nutshell shell.

I think you mean terrible GM re-signs sub-replacement level defenseman.

Let’s run it back one more time because it’s worked so well for the last 14 years.

Why? Just Why? I'm very proud of Adams for locking up another 5 pair D. The rate this guy is going he's going to be the worst player in NHL history to reach 1000 games. They'll all be with the Sabres and he'll never play in the playoffs.

A few years ago when his NJ squad had 112 points

I think “stable” in personnel, don’t know about performance.

Of course there is interest but probably not for what he wants in both $ and term. He also probably wants to go for a Cup contender as he has never even played in a Cup final.

Actually I’m not a boomer. Born too late.

He is and he sounds very much like Dennis DeYoung, and he puts on a hell of a show. Chuck Panozzo and James Young are the only original guys still in the band, although the Tommy Shaw addition helped make them a huge 70/80s band.

Saw Styx for the first time recently. Tommy Shaw is still great. They sounded really good. I would start with Grand Illusion before Crystal Ball but that's my humble opinion.

The psyche of this team is very Fragile and Adams is a very Lucky Man to still have a job.

Saw a great Genesis cover band play the entire Lamb stage show with the original slide and costumes. Great Show. The Lamb is a great great album. Selling England by the Pound is also a really good Peter Gabriel Genesis album. From the earlier albums the best songs are The Knife (Trespass), The Musical Box (Nursery Crimes), Watcher in the Sky and the 23 minute long Supper's Ready from (Foxtrot).

Ah When Genesis was great!

True. He played a simpler game and got better results.

1. New Owner 2. New GM 3. New coaching staff 4. 4 new defenseman, including 2 stay at home D who can play in the top 6. 5. A top 6 playmaking center so that TNT can move to the wing and we don't force Kulich to carry the 2nd line. 6. A 1B goalie who can split time with UPL.

So your solution to a team that allows 4 goals a game is to add more offense? The team is 12th in the NHL in GF and 3rd in 5 on 5 scoring. Maybe the problem is on defense and in goal?

Well at least Lindy knows what a good NHL team is supposed to look like.

I’d love to know why 4% of the people have more confidence in TP now vs a year ago? Was it the better product on the ice? Was it the improved facilities? Was it his visit to the team in Montreal?

This isn’t a surprise is it? The team stinks and is a reflection of the organization created by the owner. I doubt this fan poll will cause TP to change course.
