What does the Tuch trade look like?

Terry has his next GM sitting right there.  Do you think Terry will spend the time to interview GMs if he replaces Adams?  

He didn't do that when he fired Boterill.  

Unless Terry decides he does not like or trust him, Jarmo is the next GM.  

We might be better off with a Hudsucker Proxy scenario where Terry hires the mailroom clerk instead.  But I gots a feelin' Jarmo was more a “waiting in the wings” type of a successor.

yeah, mostly joking, but if we're looking for some combination of NHL ready (or near NHL ready) rather than picks I feel like that's the kind of guy we can expect back - 

Maybe Savoie and a 1st for Tuch?   Which wouldn't excite me, but teams that are buyers aren't usually giving up good NHL pieces in rerturn.

We don't want Savoie back at all.   He is behind Kulich, and now you can see that Östlund and Rosen have passed him.  Pretty soon Helenius.  

I want to keep Tuch as part of the next re-tool if possible.  I certainly see the dilemma of a long term, big dollar contract though.

So we are trading Tuch now??? 

why would anyone entertain this rumor?   I don’t want Adams trading anybody.   Fire Adams and let the new GM handle  the roster.  

They need to give Tuch a deadline to make a decision on whether or not he wants an extension in Buffalo, although I have a feeling he is leaning towards joining another organization. 
 

Losing him for nothing July 1st is not an option.

Savoie doesn't play the type of hockey we should want to play.

Maaaan, not Tuch 

I get that $hit isn't looking very promising at the moment (or, for the last decade+ TBF) but trading away Mr Upstate NY really sends home the message that rebuild 3.0 is reality

Are you trying to jinx the upcoming game against the Oilers? Saying all this --- Savoie is going to score 3-1-4 in his return and every Sabres prospect scorer is going to suffer injuries that night. 😇

To appease the gods, I'll add: Savoie is a fantastic young talent and we wish him the best in his future endeavors (except against Buffalo) and McLeod fills a greater need on the current roster.

Is Jarmo currently actively or at least collaborating on personnel decisions? Was he a Pegula recommended addition or was it a KA add after being instructed by the owner to find an experienced staffer to help him out?  It is not a healthy organizational situation to be in where you have staff waiting in the wings (maybe so?) because you then have people looking over their shoulders worried about their status and influence. Terry Pegula has created a third-rate organization, and the results are proof of that dysfunction.

I am answering another poster.   We don not want/need Savoie at this time.
