I refuse to believe it's true. I know it probably is....but I have sanity to maintain

Shoulda paired Byram with 9 for a top 6 when has the chance instead we have a ton of RHD when just needed one.

Get the F out.  He’s doing anything he can to save his job and he’s destroying the franchises future to do it.

I don't think I've said it here but, if adams doesn't spend near the cap and let's Byram go and just has millions in unused money, he's a giant fraud and a con. Spend to make this team more competitive and if convincing players to come here is too hard for you, quit because you're incapable of doing your job.

With Adams around, probably anything over 6 million. 

He's not a fraud. He's doing his master's bidding. Until Pegula says EEE is over, he's happy to shave the cap and keep the savings. Probably he justifies it because of fewer STHs and lower attendance.

He has all the resources he needs.

He doesn't have to save his job; he's not going anywhere.

Here are some other updates that Chad has from his latest article

 

Quote

1. The smoke with Bryan Rust and the Pittsburgh Penguins was real. The Sabres were considering trading the ninth overall pick straight up for the veteran winger. There were also other options being discussed that would involve a pick swap at the draft. The Sabres were happy with Radim Mrtka being available at nine, and the two sides couldn’t find common ground.

Rust’s no-trade clause expires tomorrow. There’s a possibility we still see something happen here.

2. I’d keep an eye on Pius Suter tomorrow. I was told that they have an interest in the player, but with how shallow the forward market is now, they may not be able to get into the conversation.

3. I wouldn’t rule out the long-shot chances of the Sabres attempting to sign Nikolaj Ehlers, but I feel he’s destined for the Carolina Hurricanes.

4. I have no information tying the Sabres to Dmitry Orlov, but he wouldn’t be a bad target to fill out the left side if the Sabres can move Byram for a forward.

5. It would be cheap and is a risk. However, with the hole at forward, is Anthony Mantha worth a one-year flyer on?

6. Alex Tuch remains one of the top priorities for the Sabres this offseason. My info is that there’s optimism that a deal can be reached this summer.

7. The Sabres are on track to be looking at anywhere from $5 to 10 million in cap space, depending on what they do with Bo Byram if there is not significant money added to this roster. That would be an unacceptable outcome and would be an undeniable sign of an internal cap.

8. If the Sabres make a deal with the Blues for Byram, I don’t think Jordan Kyrou would be part of it. His no-trade clause kicks in tomorrow. Zack Bolduc, however, could be.

9. The Sabres and Ryan McLeod have exchanged contract proposals. There is no agreement at this point, but they continue to work on it. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if something gets finalized by the end of the Fourth of July weekend. To be clear, that’s more of a gut feel with some minor insight baked in.

10. I think the Sabres roster is mostly set with one or two more minor additions to come before the focus shifts to re-signing their restricted free agents.

Part of me would want to see the 9thOA for Rust deal just to watch All Hell Break Loose😂😂This tells me Byram for Rust is absolutely something Adams would do. 😳🤮😂

So are we upset now because he passed on a deal that we wouldn't want to see him make?

If #10 is true, just utterly unforgivable. And it probably is true.

This is unacceptable

It also contradicts the rest of the list, but I guess you don’t get clicks by opening with that one.
