The pick will have to be Carter Yakemchuk to continue the Sabres long standing with “chuk”s 😁

I wonder if this move and the money being thrown around to make it happen peaks Pegula’s interest as far as selling the team. Would have to be a buyer willing to keep the team put. To change directions, another aggressive owner will make things interesting in the trade and free agent market. Interesting which Coyotes players become available. I think most see Lawson Crouse as a good fit. Liam O’Brien as a 4th liner who is aggressive and will enforce would be a nice change of pace for this lineup too. Wonder what the move means for Armstrong and the front office. Does Smith want a fresh start like an expansion team with all new hires under his watch.

You’ll get HC Matt Ellis with Associate HC Adam Mair and like it😛

Cooley is garbage. He had one great preseason game too and then absolutely stunk all season. If you don’t watch him play don’t comment after one good game. Marks Stone cleared to practice with Vegas. Who could have seen this one coming?😂

Big win tonight. Everything is fixed everything is great. Run it all back next season😜🤪

That’s what we would hope would be the case but I wouldn’t bet on it. I’m with you on it just skeptical it would play out how we would like.

I think there is a really poor view of Pegula around the league. To the point some qualified coaches won’t come. I think if they punt Granato the three choices that would come for sure are Boudreau, Lindy and promoting Appert.

I don’t see that as change though, just shuffling the deck chairs. They already work collaboratively and Adams as President reporting to Pegula would get final say and push Pegula’s ideas.

I agree but do we really know that Karmanos is a better GM option? We hope that would be the better setup but do we really know? The fact the rumors were the Canucks wanted to offer Karmanos the GM role is a positive. If anyone will get the President role it will be Adams but Inthink Terry wants to keep it and keep Adams as GM.

I’m at the point where I will massage myself into being ok with Quenville being hired as next coach if the NHL reinstates him. Give me a successful seasoned coach and let me see this team with a guy that gets results.

To think there is a whole generation of kids that have no concept of what a Sabres playoff game is.

Power does a lot of good things with the puck on his stick. He needs help rounding out his game in front of his own net.

I always enjoy following prospects and the draft but I could absolutely care less who they draft this year. We have danced this dance way too many times already. Trade the damn pick for someone tangible. Give the fanbase some hope that you are remotely serious about getting serious.

Can’t quite put my finger on what the problem is.😳 When the problem is the one signing the cheques and hiring the front office I have little faith in the right coaching choices being made

Rod was the one that demanded Skinner be traded. After the trade he said that you can’t win with players like Skinner who only play the way he does. He wasn’t wrong.

Really looking forward to the Adams presser. Really believes in the coaching staff and the players in the room, this is part of the process, going with even more kids next year, everyone should be thankful for all the Pegulas have done, really thinks the roof and scoreboard will make a difference.🤢🤮🤬

When there is no expectation of winning you don’t need to think about not making the playoffs. Pathetic

If Granato is back then I am not. We have seen exactly who he is as a coach and how these players don’t respond under him when big games are played. Poor starts to the season, poor starts to games. Special teams, especially the PP has been a joke. I can’t watch him behind the bench anymore. If Granato is back they are 14 years without playoffs.

Sabres have so many young players. A lot of these guys are looking for immediate opportunity. They signed Metsa last year who has been a very good fit in Rochester.

Yes, people have to remember Appert is coaching a system dictated to him by Adams and Granato. He has gotten his team deep in the playoffs two years in a row. He has done it with suspect goaltending overall the past few years. If Levi had been there all year Amerks are easily in the top spot in the division. Appert is a very dynamic personality. His ability to communicate is undeniable. I definitely see NHL teams looking at him in the next few years if not now. I personally don’t think he is the fit Buffalo needs right now. A seasoned NHL successful coach who holds players accountable is the right move.

Don’t disagree with you. Just think Parayko isn’t that guy with his play and contract. Dylan Demelo is a UFA and a much better option out of Winnipeg. Matt Roy in LA is another great option. Either guy would be perfect fits.

Honest question: do you really think he is good right now or is be big and he can be physical and that’s good enough? There seems to be a portion of fans that just want big tough guys now. Not saying you are in that group. I think some people would trade Buffalo’s first or Savoie for Rempe because he is tall and punches guys and that would fix everything.
