This team is another 3-4yrs away from anything.

That would be conditional on if we get a competent GM. 

3-4 years if effective today the entire front office and the entire coaching staff was dumped and competent people found to stop the swirl. It would take the remainder of the this season just to stop the momentum and maybe get the to the point that change can be made. Then there is a chance there might be some positive direction for this franchise. All that said, Terry has to sell the team in order for things to truly change for the better in the near term. I'm convinced of that he simply doesn't care.

Only if they move on from Adams now.

All depends on who and hopefully not anyone from within. The entire front office needs to go, along with every scout pushing for Smurf hockey players, plus the entire coaching staff along with strength and conditioning coaches.

I agree things feel over.

Dahlin may be trying too hard because the rest of the team can't keep up. Still, watching him puke up the puck is hard to forgive.

I don't disagree with playing Lyon in three straight. He's been keeping the Sabres in games. But Ellis is going to have to play soon or they will wear Lyon out totally.

Dahlin has done this in other years too. They are already breaking from any semblance of a real system. It's the earliest this has started so far, but it happens every year. The team concept breaks down and individuals overplay and make mistakes. It'll get worse if things don't take some sort of radical turn but I doubt it as they just seem checked out already.

There is nothing to indicate it could be anything in even 3-4 years. 

It needs a complete reset, like an expansion team. Every single person here gone and a full reset with a new philosophy that will then take several years to build.

From what I’ve seen from San Jose, they look already ahead of Buffalo.

Because they have executed their plan well, and support the youngster’s development with vets.

Personally I would get rid of Adams annd everyone on the coaching staff. But who the hell will take the jobs? Anyone with any ambition won’t imo. I mean I would love to get Pete De Boer, but I don’t imagine he’s sitting around his house hoping for a call from Terry.
