Man, I was at least hoping that the advisor and the Eric Staal announcement were two different things. 

 

Ugh.

That’s still a possibility, I corrected the title

I think they are.

This is Staal using the Sabres to build his GM creds.

Yeesh, the Sabres social account stinks. I remember in 2008 hiring a special assistant to take care of my elderly Dad!... Yikes! We knew it wasn't going end with a parade it was going to push up daisies Sorry Dad!

This is Adams giving his golfing buddy a job so he can show him what not to do....

Hall and Staal can aren’t guys I want atall

thats 7. 

Hilariously timed. 

I guess they do read this site

Glad they are adding more minds and eyes to the hockey department.

Not surprised to see it's another guy from Kevyn's existing circle and doubt there was any kind of search.

(Sigh)

We’ve reached the hilarious point of the Sabres offseason.  Does it matter to anyone that he mailed in his season in Buffalo and is now hired to return?  Like he walked into the job interview, took a big dump on Kevyn’s desk, and said “I made a poo poo for you”. 

[shrader]

Will he try this time?  He didn't last time.

Does Kevyn think he’s done anything wrong?

[In The Buff]

the only Staal i want to see with the Sabres is an empty one when nature calls after drinking too much beer.

[inkman]

Was Milan Lucic not available?  How can this be real life? In the drought era, how many bigger villains are there than Eric Stahl?  Lucic, Eichel, he’s not too far down the list.  Can they bring in Jon Bon Jovi as a business consultant?  What are we even doing here.

[GASabresIUFAN]

lol,  I guess the Sabres are using the Bills approach and only hiring guys who either played or worked in Carolina or Buffalo.  

I hear Cam Ward applied to be the new goaltending coach.

This is a move an experienced, successful GM makes.  
 

Why are we bringing in more inexperience with zero ties to the Buffalo franchise or community (a combo of both was warranted here.). 

 

My guess is Ryan Miller didn’t want the job?

 

EDIT:  I guess that’s the role the Senior Advisor will play.  
 

God.  Just hire a Team President

Carolina doesn’t even make my top 10 most hated teams in the league.  I’ve never really understood the disdain for the team.  They beat the Sabres in the playoffs.  Whoop Dee damn doo.  So have a dozen other teams. It’s weird and I feel like it’s only a certain generation of fans that feel this way.

Ok well the fact he’s a homophobic assh*ole probably bridges the rest of the gap no 

Good friend of Kevyn

That probably is an asset to most fans

It's because of the team they beat/injured.  That was the one people thought would win it all.  It definitely means a lot more to the people who lived there at that time.  I wasn't here at that point, but the fans here do definitely hold a grudge against us even still.

I think he is the proverbial guy in a party with his zipper down and Henrietta Hippopotamus underwear showing... cracking jokes thinking everyone is laughing because they he's funny...
