They won't fire Granato until the postseason anyways and then they'll have a bigger list of candidates. Should fire Adams and hire an experienced GM first, and then let the GM hire the coach. Pegula won't do this though, because he has an aversion to hiring experienced GMs. And he picks the coach himself to ensure the coach reports to him. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year after he actually acts like a GM and trades prospects and picks for players that can get them into the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll go with..after this season. That’s 4 seasons. I know we don’t want to go with 3 seasons because..then Botterill and Murray would need to be referred to as experienced GMs and somehow I don’t think they fit the desired connotation  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerreaultForever Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Kid's day. At least the kid's learned an early life lesson in "Refs You Suck!" which will serve them well later in life. Not a terrible effort but still the usual softness leading to turnovers and poor defensive play around the net cost them. Typical result for us facing that type of hockey. Tampa has changed. That was Bylsma hockey. Different look for them. Similar to what the Canucks threw at us. I guess Cooper shifted to that with the early goalie injury and the slightly diminished roster. Team seems to have accepted it. Not exciting, but effective. Nick Paul is an example of exactly the type of player we need to trade for, sign and draft. Peterka was probably the best Sabre today. Power the worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan 20th 2024  No. He's only ever mentioned because there's a perception around here and this place runs on rumors and fake news. Stop hiring first time coaches, period. 6 minutes ago, SDS said: How many years will Kevyn need to be GM before he moves from an inexperienced GM to an experienced one? When he stops acting like a child and actually tries to make the playoffs as opposed to just create good vibes.

Murray was a nepobaby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Rhea Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 As of todays game Donny is 103 - 135, any bum can do that. I did like Don but that is just not good enough, he needs to go. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 (edited) After reading the thread and watching the replays I can only repeat what I’ve been saying for awhile.  I feel so bad for the fans and especially, the young kids.   The Sabres could not show up for Kid Day.  Again.  Another home game dud.   Terry, your in town to bask in the Bills glory.  Are you there?  Listen Terry, watch and listen ….is there anybody out there?   Edited January 20 by Pimlach 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
