If you want to sell hope: GM: Jarmo Advisor: Lindy HC: DeBoer with Steve Spott and whoever else he likes as an assistant Kevyn:Special Liason to Ownership Then start making trades and signings

DeBoer is from Dunnville right across the border and apparently his son goes to Niagara University. Can’t tell me he wouldn’t be interested.

A smart organization would bring in DeBoer and Steve Spott today. The Sabres who haven’t made the playoffs in 14 years will say they believe in this staff and they don’t want anyone blocking Appert🤬

No other coaching vacancies. Go get him. Kick Lindy upstairs. The guy gets results.

To be real I think the Sabres have the worst coaching staff in the league. Not a single change has been made. Beyond pathetic. I think Prospal in Rochester has a future so they will let him walk. Leone had a promising year.

I want UPL replaced. Get an upgrade as the starter, let Reimer and Levi battle it out for 2 and 3.

I know he is 40 but Burns is a ufa who probably won’t be back in Carolina. Can still play. Put him with Power for a year. Not the perfect defensive D partner many want for Power but his experience would be invaluable and he is usually a plus player. The Patrick/Teppo of this generation😁

The best would be if Adams and Jarmo weren’t on the same page for roles and Jarmo just started dealing guys at the combine without Adams knowing about it.

Why are people so convinced that you can only make one deal? You can make multiple trades and signings to improve your team. And why are people so attached to the players that have failed to win anything? Outside of Dahlin, move anyone who makes the team better.

I just watched a documentary on Harold Ballard and the Leafs of the 70s and the part about bringing Punch back to be GM of the Leafs was not pretty. A lot of the players said he was out if touch and did a ton of damage to the team.

Hopefully Jarmo’s ideas are better😃

I remember thinking “what is the 3rd piece? Please be Lundell”

I still laugh when I think of Terry flying into Montreal to give his “answer is in the room” speech and Kevyn stands in front of the media and says “Let me tell you what Terry said in the meeting was impressive.” Just peak cowardly yes man ass kissing.😁

I almost think the only hope now is that Pegula has realized he doesn’t know as much as he thinks and bringing Jarmo in is the start of that.

If you watch the Blue and Gold draft episode with the Kulich draft. Adams is in the phone the whole time talking to Pegula and telling him every single thing they are thinking and trying to do. It’s pretty cringy to watch.

I have a feeling this is the only year they do this decentralized draft. Bettman is not for it and some of the teams are already regretting it,

“The Expansion Seattle PWHL team has named John Tortorella as their first head coach.”

This is where Jarmo would come in. Adams is so obsessed with Levi being the answer that he can’t see any other option. Hopefully Jarmo can shake it up a bit in that front office. Ive always liked Vladar but he’s never taken that step I thought he would.

Trade the pick, Martin, Bear or McQueen are all decent outcomes for me.

I’m not following this thread. Do people want Torts back as associate coach or as part of the front office or something?

I think they need to do something new in net. I would have loved to sign Freddy Andersen but Carolina reupped him. I would role the dice on Demko for a year or see if Gibson is still available (not sure with Quenville there now). But UPL-Levi or UPL Reimer like backup is a non starter for me.
