Would You Want Sabres Sneaking into the Playoffs if it Meant Adams and Staff stick Around With Extensions?

Nope. I’ll take another bottom finish if it meant a cleansing of the Front Office and Coaching staff.

The sabres willingly entered into a Kobayashi Maru when they retained Adams and Co for this season

Wow. You win the nerd award for that one. 

I don't actually care about firing Adams unless I know who is hired and if there's a change in direction or not. 

Let's just say Terry fires Adams but all he does is make Jarmo GM, move Ruff to Senior Advisor and name Appert head coach, well then the Titanic is likely still heading straight for the iceberg.

I rather take the playoffs,  I have no hope for big changes in the front office anyway.

“Likely” remains a drastic improvement on the current “certainly”, and the canning of Adams is worth it on its face even if no improvement is gained due to the simple fact he objectively deserves to be fired and it expresses an modicum of accountability- by far the largest weakness of the team/franchise 

there is zero argument for not firing Adams today. There is only an argument it might not work. Those aren’t the same thing 

Also, as a fan, it would be ridiculously hubristic for me to suggest I am one of one. I would gain an immense amount of satisfaction from Adams being canned simply because I don’t like him and what he’s done to the team - there’s no way I am the only one that feels that way. He traded my favourite player away for job security and I maintained it was a mistake at the time amidst opposing voices and that’s only been borne out more true over time. Justice is valuable in and of itself and if we lose that there’s no point to anything. Adams being fired is as much about wanting to see it just to see it as it is about improving the team - I think people miss that a bit 

hockey is an entertainment product, like film. I am no longer entertained by what this director has to offer and I’d like to see someone else’s interpretation of how to field a team under Terry terrible owner Pegula. I don’t watch sabres games right now. I will watch if Adams is canned. I’m not one of one

I think you missed my meaning in my comment. The implication would be that the "change" would be cosmetic and really, it would all still be Terry and Terry's decisions and visions of how things should be. So very little if anything would change.
