Ah yes like the “plans” for the past 5 years under Adams and for the past 14 years overall. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

It’s becoming more obvious that there is no real plan and the only plan is Adams doing whatever whim Pegula mentions. It will be interesting to see if Jarmo has any sway at all.

This headline would: ”Sabres add Dudley, DeBoer in Organizational Reshuffle”

So apparently you are allowed to fire assistant coaches in the league. Interesting.😁

It’s so laughable that Adams put his focus on rebuilding the 4th line last offseason. You can find these guys for league minimum but Adams acted like it was a major project.

Adams: “Hey Rick Dudley you just won back to back Cups. Do you want to come home to Buffalo and work directly for me? Hello….Hello…. We have Seth Appert lined up as next coach….Hello”

Canucks insiders saying Canucks trying to get Byram. I’ll say it again: Norris Byram, UPL, prospect for EP40 , Demko, Marcus Petterson 😁😛 I know it’s crazy. There is a ton of smoke between the Canucks wanting Byram and trying to acquire Norris at the deadline that I’d be surprised if some deal between the two teams doesn’t happen. What it ends up looking like I have no idea.

I don’t care what his save percentage is I need this man in the crease this season😁

I’m now at the point mentally where I’m expecting to be completely underwhelmed with the draft, free agency and any trades they might make. I think I’m officially in the “Sisyphus and the boulder” phase of Sabres fandom.

He’s a tall lanky RHC with tremendous hockey sense, playmaking ability. Great skill but he doesn’t compete like a Martin or Bear. Has potential to be a top 6 centre. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=271144

Alas if only there was a top shelf NHL coach available with no coaching vacancies to fill league wide at the moment….oh wait.

Paging Liger!😁

Wake me up when Adams wins a playoff berth. Winning or losing an individual trade means nothing. It’s building a roster that can compete and win that means everything and Adams has failed miserably at it for 5 straight years.

Kevin Bahl is a LHD

I would love to see a new Blue and Gold where it is just Adams telling Jarmo his trade ideas and the camera just pans in on Jarmo’s facial reactions.😁

For me it’s a guy making $8 million a year and has only passed 35 points in a season once. Couple that with a guy who can’t stay healthy to save his life and you are “hoping” that he somehow comes around.

Perfectly fair. I just don’t rate Norris very highly. $8 million for a guy that has passed 35 points once in his career and you can’t count on him to stay healthy. I feel to get rid of his contract you are going to take on a risk back. EP40 is far from perfect for me but if Vancouver was interested in Norris he is the guy I would want back.

Do you feel EP40 and Norris are equal value? Do you feel Demko and UPL are equal value? I don’t think they are close.

$8 million for Norris who can’t stay healthy is so Sabres. I’d rather roll the dice on EP40 if I can move Norris in the deal. I have more confidence in EP40 returning to form and being healthy than Norris. I have no confidence in UPL. If I can roll the dice on Demko returning to form for one year then I take it. If he doesn’t then he is a UFA after the season and you walk away. Something significant has to change to change the Sabres fortunes on the ice. Take some swings.

I’m basically just logging on these days hoping to see a post stating that DeBoer was spotted in Buffalo with a blurry pic that sort of looks like him😛

https://canucksarmy.com/news/vancouver-canucks-offseason-centre-trade-target-josh-norris Canucks tried to trade for Norris at the deadline but it hit a snag and he went to Buffalo. Norris and Quinn Hughes are good friends. Lets get Stupid: Norris,, UPL, #9, prospect for EP40, Demko, 😛

I’d rather have Schneider from the Rags
