I get a very strong feeling that next year will be worse than this season and extensions will be given out. Then all the players will jump ship.

That would just be sadistic, too mean even for an imbecile.

I very much do comprehend the difference between doing something and having something work. That's my issue! When you have made decisions for a full generation and nothing has worked during that extended period, then don't you think that it's time to change your approach? 

We're at the point where we are going in never-ending circles. So there is no need to continue on with this futile back and forth. I say this with no disrespect intended but your responses make no sense to me. Your reasoning is so contradictory that it is incomprehensible, at least to me. But that's okay.  I'm sure my responses make little sense to you. We are riding on different buses going to different destinations and our paths will not cross. So be it. 

 

I actually don't understand what we're not agreeing on, other than you just view me as someone to auto reject.  I don't want to be disrespectful.  

You wish TP would change his approach.  Do you think he's repeating mistakes?  I feel like he's deployed multiple approaches.  Of which non have fixed anything.  KA is the only thing he hasn't changed in 14 years for this long of a period.  He's the only employee he has stuck with this long, IIRC.  It seems stupid to me because I want him gone.

Lysowski saying, well the Sabres are sitting here not making a single coaching change after 14 years of making the playoffs.  We literally changed HC's last off season.

I mean what are people talking about?  We suck and I don't think anyone knows why, is all I'm saying.  I can't understand it, but it's definitely not because we're repeating ourselves or not doing anything.

Adams is under contract. 

Thank you Sir.  I couldn't find any contract details, so wasn't sure if he was extended for one more year to stay this off season.

So with that, it's at least a plausible reason to not fire him.  I don't love it or agree.  I wish he was let go.  I think it's obvious TP is still in save money mode after committing a good bit into the program.

Because they aren’t trying to win 

Shaw probably told TP he wasn’t willing to take Wilford’s spot with the Jr. Sabres.

Terry Pegula hasn't committed a good bit to the hockey team since 2020. He's in saving money mode because he's a typical billionaire and is pinching pennies to help build out his football stadium.

With all due respect, especially because you're one of my favorite posters, I think this is likely a stretch.  Obviously you could be right, I certainly don't have the facts.    

I doubt he needs what little, relatively, it costs to spend on the Sabres to pour everything possible into the Bills.  The Bills are just too lucrative and the Sabres are profitable. 

I want to believe it's something more than not caring or greed. He just doesn't seem like that kind of dude but who knows.  He spent before.  Like many things Sabres, little makes sense to me.
