We needed to find someone who could impact the roster like Trotz did in Washington and now w the NYI. Instead we got Ted Nolan two. I'm very disappointed. If we were going to make a non-retread hire why not interview Sheldon Keefe, what more does this guy have to prove in the AHL to get a shot? No, you were right.

I'm so sad I have been proven correct. I truly love this team and want them to do well. What a mess TP and his litany of bad hires have done to our beloved team. P.S. I didn't like the KA hire either. So far so bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than no experience the thing that bothers me about the KA hire is that it was further evidence that the Pegulas want to run things. They may be the worst owners in sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Idk but I find it telling when you listen to Paul Hamilton on WGR and they don't so much as mention Krueger by name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't get there - I don't think they're even in the worst tier. They're probably towards the worst end of the second worst tier - lol. I've been hearing about the Houston Texans' debacles -- now that is bad ownership. I take some encouragement from the fact that the Pegulas have tried a bunch of different people to run the Sabres. Of course, none of them have worked out. At some point - at some point - they're going to hit on a winning arrangement. I mean - right? 😳 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizontal management structure, etc. I am hoping that the recent rumour of a stake of the team being for sale - or help being sought - is a sign that they're ready to take some steps back.

Thorny Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hopefully this serves as a jinx but... I have a feeling he doesn’t get fired Maybe the franchise even thinks it’ll get the appearance of a bit more stability by acting in the conference like he was on a short leash and then deciding to hold course.

If they think that, they are completely clueless on what the NHL at large thinks and what their own fans think... which actually makes perfect sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman0519 Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) So it appears 4 regulation wins in 24 games and an 8 game losing streak is STILL not enough to get you fired in Buffalo. Losing is ok. What will it take? I honestly don’t think there is a single other organization that would of not pulled the plug by now. With a back to back against Pitt, and a game vs Washington thereafter, how embarrassing does this get?

To sum up, I am happy with the hire and will not blame Botterill for taking a bold and unconventional decision if this doesn't work out. Well, I'll stand by not blaming Botterill for taking a bold and unconventional decision. I'll just blame Adams for not ending the experiment. Botterill shot for the stars, missed, didn't even land on the moon; time to end this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I disagree that the Pegulas are anywhere near as problematic as the Texans' owners -- and they have a competent NFL franchise to prove it.

Many of us fans encouraged it. Why would you expect KA and RK to be held to a different standard? If you were for the tank, then you were OK with this potential eventuality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
