triumph_communes Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Just now, Cascade Youth said: They’re probably hoping to replicate what the Bills did, tearing it down to the studs to build “culture first,” then slowly adding pieces who buy into that culture. The problem is that you need to acquire the right pieces and have a plan to evaluate and develop them. You need a quality scouting program and you need to hit on several key acquisitions. Not sure they’ve got the right team for that approach. Bills haven’t drafted that well. They went character first, talent second, and changed the team around Krueger went system first, subordinancy second, culture as a catchphrase 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Adams really think the Sabres have drafted a bunch of bad apples, and not that the attitudes became that way after festering in a losing atmosphere? I don't get his strategy.

Gatorman0519 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Looks like yet another tank is on. Who’s going to buy tickets and merchandise next year? If you can’t get a top prospect back for Sam, something is very broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad1 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Straight up, this trade is the way worse than the O'Reilly trade, and that trade was the worse trade in the history of the franchise. Adams might as well show up to the draft wearing a straw hat holding a giant lollipop, because the guy is a total rube. Opposing GMs will now flood him with trash offers, knowing that no offer is too crappy for Adams to accept. Players, want out of Buffalo? Just insinuate that you don't want to be here, and Kevy will accept any deal no matter how awful to grant your your wish. Kevyn Adams, what a rube.

bob_sauve28 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 And as the morning proceeded, the mood of the board became darker and darker. Only some good news of help arriving will relieve the sour mood and growing despondency. The Sabres do appear to be a much worse team now than back a few months ago when they were in their glory as the worst team in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Seriously, how did we get here? In a salary cap era it is pretty unbelievable to have missed the playoffs for this long AND run out probably one of the worst Sabres teams since the tank for next season. They are the absolute champion of minimizing the assets they posses. There are so many smart hockey minds out there. Just so frustrating seeing GM after GM continue setting this franchise back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the majority of the pieces confirmed and we spend hours discussing merely trade rumours. I think this is pretty fair game.
