Wow this Adams guy really sucks

He’s the answer to every question

- Boss34


Is that not what happened on during and after the upswing season? Or was it really not an upswing, just a bunch of career years?

He sat on his hands and he was wrong and that is called being bad at your job

Talked a big game going into this offseason and got none of what he wanted accomplished at the top half of the roster. Teams rebuild their 4th line all the time it doesn't deserve praise. Letting 2 replacement level players who were overpaid walk doesn't deserve praise

Its undeniable at this point

You’re putting %100 of the blame on the gm

Ownership hasn’t proven anything for much longer

Rolling back basically the same team backfired

I’d like to take over 88 points and make a meaningless hockeybuzz wager over the outcome.

I think the pegulas have been a problem for some time now but it is the GMs job to take blame and ultimately end up fired when things don't work

He chose to run the same team back and that was a colossal mistake. Fireable in almost any other professional sports franchise

Very reasonable post and I agree

Buffalo is a tricky market with ownership continuously making bad decisions.

Can’t imagine how much better the replacement gm would be?

I like the team on paper heading into the season

Hall of fame coach
Healthy superstar in tage
Cozens vouching back at the world championships
Samuelsson healthy
Power a year older
More speed

I would say as long as the GM truly has the say on roster decisions it can't get any worse

Teams around the league that are as or less favorable in the eyes of players make moves every single year in an attempt to make themselves better

We buy out 30g scorers and then adams talks about top 6 forwards like an unattainable fantasy

It is a better team than last season's roster.

It isn't good enough however, as teams around them are also getting better.
Toronto, Boston, and Florida are your three Atlantic representatives.

7 & 8 Wildcard spots will be a battle between Bolts, Red Wings, Sens, Montreal, Isles, Caps.

Sabres better get off to a fast start and bank some valuable points early.

Of course, I’d say most nhl teams have interest in Lindy in some capacity.

Head coach and best friend/mentor to the gm , Buffalo was probably the only spot

Lindy definitely could coach Toronto

The media would love him.

At some point I’m guessing Lindy becomes an advisor and cuts back on the travel.

The #Bills have traded for #Jets DB and returner Brandon Codrington per
@TomPelissero. It’s for a swap of late 2026 picks.
