Panthers and their AHL team both in the Finals. If only they hired Bill Zito when they had the chance😳

That why the Jarmo hiring gives me a little bit of hope that Terry is realizing what a mess this is.

Go back and watch the Blue and Gold of when he was hired. He states he doesn’t know what he’s doing so he has a little book with him and he says he asks a lot of questions and writes the answers down in the book. It was embarrassing at the time and hasn’t improved.

It seems he wasn’t allowed. That was the point of Pegula flying into Montreal to give his “The answer is in the room” speech. That was the “you guys figure it out I’m not signing off on any deal right now” speech.

Here we go😁 He goes on LTIR for the season, Vegas signs Marner and at playoff time he miraculously recovers and plays. Rinse and Repeat for the Knights.

Those were good deals. The problem with Adams is that your house is leaking and you have to fix 5 things to stop it and Adams will fix 2 of the things and say “Mission Accomplished”

The story was the players wanted him gone and they convinced Jack to go in and drop the hammer to management because he was the one they would listen to.

Fair enough. I don’t mind getting rid of guys but I want 23-30 year old guys coming back that can have immediate impacts. Misa and Schaefer will be very good players. I don’t think those deals you proposed get you them.

I found some more context from another site: he talked about the meeting Dahlin had where he vented his frustrations over not winning.

What does he mean by “Dahlin’s name came up during the season”?

But it’s just the Buffalo hamster wheel all over again. Add another 18 year old to a lineup that’s not good enough to compete. We’ve seen this movie for 14 years and we know how it ends.

When are we ever going to get serious about winning? Can’t trade established players for draft picks anymore. Need to be bringing in legit NHL contributors.

I see no way Martin is there at 9

Let them be aggressive hiring Deboer and let Jarmo take the wheel on some deals.

FFS! Kevyn: “We got our guy right here Terry. Thinking Penn State you know that means he’ll want to be a Sabre with you leading the charge Terry.” Trade the pick for a real piece now. If they keep it, please not Jackson Smith. Nice player but an LHD that will see the league in 3 years time, God No.

And it is easy for us to forget Kim’s situation and the emotional toll and time that takes on him.

I have no doubt Pegula has Appert penciled in as next HC. He seems to fall for charismatic people. He hired Lafontaine based on one chance meeting where he was blown away by his charisma. I’m sure he sees the same in Seth. Just hire DeBoer and get serious about being a serious organization.

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🤬
