is he gone yet?

If Adams gets moved out how do you think the players will feel?

How bad will firing Adams look to the league? Not an issue. Adam’s was never on any team’s radar for a front office hockey operations job, let alone a GM position. It would be looked at as something that had to happen at some point. Move him to POHO - this would be a bad move. Move him to POHO puppet - this is even worse. Move him outside of hockey ops - I don’t understand that but it’s a strange organization so who knows. Lindy’s coaching career will end after the season. He could end up an Advisor to Pegula (first) and also to the GM.

Seattle that was fishy

Well earned Benson

That is 3 times the passed up shots this period. Quinn shoot the dam thing.

Glad to get out of the 2nd with the lead. Win one more period boys.

Second period line change. Sabres score

I got tricked on start time and missed the 1st. Östlund and Norris - It looked like a great goal. Also Rayzor looked really pissed at Marty about the airplane seat. 😂

I am pulling for a win and still clinging to slim chances to end the Sabres playoff drought. I’m feeling great about the Bills big win. I’m also thinking there will be a change and hopeful that Adams career in the Sabres hockey operations has come to close.

In his job before Columbus Jarmo was the Director of Scouting in St Louis, he is credited with responsibility for their draft and he brought in a bunch of good players while drafting in the middle or end of the rounds. His experience and his results are more tangible and better than Murray, Boterill, and Adams combined.

A win tonight should not save KA’s GM job. I am pulling for a win without fear of that. Once KA is moved out, and assuming the team ever gets good, I do think that Adams will get credit for players he drafted and developed, or that he traded for. KA’s chances of having any semblance of a good legacy requires that he gets moved out and the next guys with bunch of Adams guys.

Kuntar might have needed that second game to pay the bill and make a little extra dough, but I suspect in this modern era the players are more understanding.

I don't recall when you started posting @JohnC but I do recall you were 100% behind the Adams/Granato re-build plan which emphasized almost exclusively young players and draft and develop. For awhile you were lock step with Adams. It is nice that you have sympathy for him now, but this is a business, just as it was a business when he laid off a big portion of the staff.

Terry could have just said I want to approve all moves. There was no need to extend him for these reasons. The extension was an act of good faith by Terry that Adams will have a job after this shakeup, or at a minimum, have one year of severance pay in the form of the extension. I lowered the bar.
