Flashsabre Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 I mean if they keep Ralph on for the season and anyone renews season’s tickets for next year then you are the problem. Hurt the Pegulas where it counts, compromise their lifestyles by not contributing to their wallets. Fans don’t need this sh&t anymore!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radar Posted March 10, 2021 Report Share Posted March 10, 2021 I'm actually worried that RK is here next season and feel pretty sure he's here for the rest of this season anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money never has been an object since 2011, with the exception of the possible but unsupported allegations about the O'Reilly trade. I doubt they keep him because of money.

Hi SDS! Find me another Sabres owner that has spent like this. Heck, find me another NHL owner other than the pension fund in Toronto and the Dolans who have spent like this. Money has not been an issue since the Pegulas rescued the team from Golisano and Quinn. Strategy has been an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t can him, money seems like the most likely explanation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All but the last survives Occam: 1. No replacement in mind. 2. Adams scared to fire a coach because he's new at his job. 3. What the kids call "optics"; how many coaches is this team to go through? 4. Players not named Skinner reportedly like him. 5. He is, of course, a Svengali.
