    Whenever Levi talks about his time in Rochester it is always "it was..." almost like it was temporary, a field trip, or beneath him. It is your team dude. I really like Levi, he is already one of my favorite guys in the system. But this has irked me on a few occasions. 

    He does know he is going back down right?

    The Sabres have Loaned him to rochester they never used the words "sent down" so he was probably told by the great Adams you'll be back after you get some games in

    Tim Murray, while clueless, inherited a mess. 

    Regiers succesful trades were ancient history by the time he was fired, and pretty much ended with getting Briere for Gratton, and Drury for Warrener. Fact is, he had been behind the curve in terms of building a succesful team for years.

    Steve Bernier, Brad Boyes, Cody Hodgson etc. weren’t exactly steals.

    His free agent signings backfired as well. Christian Erhoff, and Robyn Regher anyone?

    You're acting like regier didn't have his hands tied by ownership.

    for what he was allowed was very succesful in buffalo and Created a team that should have been a Dynasty but Destroyed by the owner

    To be fair, the Oilers were playing like a$$ at the start, but their team was loaded with talent and they were a Cup pick before season started. 
     

    The Canucks were nowhere near projected to be where they are and don’t have the best two forwards in hockey. Tocchet will/should win the Adams.

    The point is they made changes instead of just letting it burn to the ground unlike this franchise

    You’re right, they lost to Boston and Philly, my bad.

    Ruff, no. Regier? You’re damn straight I do, he was the idiot behind the whole tank strategy.

    He wasn't the one though he said there would be "suffering" he Set up the franchise for success with his trades 

     Tim Murray is the one that Started the destruction of the franchise

    Yup, when they lost Drury, Briere and to a somewhat lesser extent, Dumont and Grier, they lost a lot of good old fashioned grit.  

    The core of homegrown Sabres that followed could not keep the team going forward.  

    Let's not forget jay McKee they lost a whole Leadership core

    They made the playoffs once, after black sunday.

    The dreaded “Core” of Roy, Stafford, Pominville, Myers, Ennis, etc. were equally as insufferable to watch, and were the very reason “the tank” became a strategy.

    Believe me, it was here before Pegula, as much as I dislike the guy.

    They made the playoffs back-back.

    Are you really blaming ruff, regier when both had a owner that wouldn't let them get any good players or spend money to get better and let the star players walk out the door.

    Adams? This culture was here way before Adams, I distinctly remember Derek Roy and Jason Pominville and their “how’s my hair” brand of hockey, way before Ruff and Regier were fired.

    No lol those teams actually cared and made the playoffs let's not compare  the ruff ,regier teams to this crap

    I really wish they'd have kept Peca as an assistant and then we could have fired Granato this year and seen if things would change with Peca as an interim. As is I see only one good move and that is hiring Lindy Ruff. It's the best PR move, it conjures history, it signals a new era (or return to an old) and if Lindy can't get this lot to perform better you might as well scrap it all. Would he take the job? Probably not. 

    My dream? Pegula hires Pat LaFontaine as senior advisor for all hockey operations and retires to Florida and then we can all pretend all of this never happened, just a dream, a really really really bad dream.

    Lol after the last Disaster ? He ruined that relationship forever
