Why do you think the Sabres are constantly hiring guys who are either entry level or have no other options (Lindy is the glaring exception who was willing to come here because he's a team legend)? We are as low as it gets in the NHL and it's entirely the fault of one man.

Also the former Sabre (a name guy) who outright told a friend of mine he would never want to play for this organization ever again.

For starters: Talking with people who have in fact worked for PSE and testified to what an absolute shitshow the entire organization is.

I almost wonder if he sees there's no clear path for him on the roster and wants a trade to somewhere where there is?

I honestly think some people are incapable of grasping just how toxic Pegula is within NHL circles. Virtually no respectable or credible person in the industry wants anything to do with the guy because they know it's a career death sentence. And forget hockey: go talk to anyone who worked for PSE and ask them what they think.

San Marino won a competitive match before the Sabres made the playoffs under the full ownership of the Pegulas.

The biggest problem with Quinn is that he appears to be made of glass.

Person died in her cubicle and wasn't discovered until 4 days later.

If you have tickets to an upcoming Ybcdul concert I'm afraid I've got some bad news:

Always a great sign of how your offseason went when virtually nobody in the entire sport thinks you will make the playoffs this upcoming season.

Botts really deserves to be in the conversation with the likes Ed Johnston and Mad Mike in worst GM debates. The idea of somehow being worse than that absurd raging sociopath GMTM is just mindblowing.

Patrik Berglund rn:

He was really bad last season because while technically able to play he was constantly hurt. Remember he also missed significant time after he was acquired as he was out injured.

The only thing of value we got out of the trade was the 20 goal scorer who appears to be even more "damaged goods" than the "damaged goods" we acquired him for.

The one glimmer of hope was that power play in his first game where his head almost exploded clearly expecting guys to do what NHL players are supposed to do on a PP and seeing his poorly coached teammates doing the exact opposite.

Any time the puck was in our own end and Byram was on the ice I would repeatedly be performing the sign of the cross. He wasn't just bad, he was awful (like sub-Risto level).

The only winner in the entire scenario was Butch Goring as it led directly to his #91 being retired (which in all honesty he did really deserve as the final piece of the dynasty).

To everyone in the Oilers organization responsible for this hire I have but one thing to say:

There are literally no redeeming features about KBC. None. Every single thing about it completely sucks.

Visit any other NHL or NBA arena and you will see just what an embarrassing dilapidated shithole KBC is. Every one of the arenas even close to comparable in awfulness are in the process of being replaced, most major colleges have far better arenas. There are even several AHL teams that have nicer arenas.
