    Or need a whole new roster.  Same thing I guess. It doesn’t have to be though.  Just need a hockey mind that knows what winning players look like. 

    Don’t agree, @inkman… Adams got so caught up in his search for prospects with “high character” he neglected to select for players with “high competitiveness”… We only have a few on our roster… We are loaded with Wannabes… No hockey mind is going to fix this franchise without roster change.

    We have a losing team that is constructed poorly. There is pretty much nobody or nothing we have that I wouldn't consider in trade scenarios to change the make up and look of this team. Staying the course just won't get it done (at least for several years).

    Agree 100%.

    The Sabres average point total per season, the 4 seasons previous to Adams: 74 points

    The Sabres average point total per season, the 4 seasons Adams has been in charge: 76 points 

    So, Adams has had no impact yet… Full pipeline of prospects and roster of players… Time for Adams to show his GM chops and make a blockbuster trade or three this offseason.

    When Byram got to Buffalo, he was.the most vocal guy on the bench and had some jam to his game. Within a week he was Sabretized by the culture. If that doesn't prove there is a serious problem within the organization, then nothing will. 

    We don’t have one veteran with fire who leads on the ice and the bench… A driver… Skinner is a clown… Girgensons is too quiet… Tuch is a wannabe… Dahlin is still too young…

    A playoff team’s average age is at least 4 years older than Buffalo’s team.  Even Detroit’s team is 4 years older on average. 

    That is the biggest reason this team cannot string wins.  We have 3 in row as our max.   

    Sorry… No excuse @Pimlach… One if the reasons we didn’t win more than three in a row all season is we don’t have the right mix of skills, speed, and snark punctuated by a lack of winning veteran perspective… It is the GMs job to roster a competitive team… Adams failed, imo

    This team doesn’t miss the playoffs by a point, or a game, or goal. 

    It is an 82 game season, they’ll miss because of tendencies. It isn’t a league where a bad bounce here or there is an excuse. The sample size is too large. 

    Every time there is an opportunity to get some positive traction they lose/fall on their face. Happened last year. Happening this year. 

    Coaching.
