Adams interview on wgr yesterday

Has no concerns with cozens or Quinn

Cozens has played like garbage for 2 NHL seasons in a row.

Quinn, Adams mentioned getting his legs under him.

He had a whole summer of working out and had the time to work on his skating and agility. It’s no excuse for him not having “the legs”

Fully understand he wouldn’t throw anyone under the bus on the radio.

But Jeeze. Everything is fine in the Sabres world.

Its night and day difference between him and Beane. Beane was asked why they brought in a kicker for tryouts. He said bass was not good enough and if a change needs to be made they will make it.

Might of lit a fire under bass. But Adams would never do that cause he is clearly lost. Everytime i hear Adams talk he just reminds me of a used car salesman.

Terry Pegula is an asshat.
Sabres valuation up 26% to $1.13B.
Sounds great initially, but on further reflection is it really?

No, it is not.
Gate Revenues are down, among the lowest in the league thereby suppressing the increased valuation when the NHL market for teams is on turbo charged steroids. He is missing an opportunity to have higher than average valuation growth of +33%. His organization is already underperformed the market by 20%, whereas on a percentage basis his team should be outperforming the market...say like achieving 40% growth or better. Utah, is a unique situation grew their valuation by 70%.

Investments like :
- dedicated and qualified PoHO
- experienced GM that has actually rebuilt struggling rosters
- spending to the Cap on the right players and rewarding proven leadership, not entrusting the roster to the most skilled or oldest players.

Those investments likely improve the on-ice performance that in return drives public interest and support, translating to higher gate revenues through higher attendance at higher ticket prices.

IonSabres for President of the Team, Mike Gillis is my PoHO.
He is costing himself money ( sure, like he needs more) by not making the proper investments .

Why ? He has been more consistent than Cozens has over the last Couple years. And you don't know what he would have taken if the Sabres had talked to him a month before the TDL. They waited and F@cked themselves.

As soon as Adams signed cozens to that long contract. Mitts was gone and never a long term guy here.

Ruff has been calling out players …. I think Adams is leaving that to ruff

But yeah everything in that interview sounded like we were a 1st place team and everything was great

That's why Adams will never succeed

Posted these lines after camp.

I think it’s time to try it

Zucker/Tage/Tuch
JJ/Cozens/Quinn
Benson,Krebs/McLoud/Greenway

At the time cozens was signed. We were all happy.

He had multiple good seasons and showed he was getting better and better. Even potted 30 goals.

The major decline in cozens game is a major question mark.

What happened and why the massive fall off.

He played for team Canada at the worlds this summer and was excellent. That is why I was thinking it was Granato and a good coaching could fix him

The media thinks we are all gullible and stupid.

Trump says Cheney is a Warhawk who wouldn’t hesitate to send Americans off to war. He then wonders if her attitude would change if those guns would be pointing at her face....

Media proceeds tells you he wants to point guns in Cheney’s face..
Rolling Stone even prints that Trump wants to put Cheney in front of a firing squad.


The big bullpoop machine at work.

It's not about signing Cozens, if they had talked with Mitts it wouldn't have cost as much to keep him, they were not proactive with him, Just like Rhino and Ullmark.

I have the game recorded. I need to watch still

Mitts wanted tage / cozens money to stay here. You aren’t paying a 3C that kind of money. He wasn’t even PP1.

And he took less to stay with the Avs.

From an outsiders POV. I get it but he’s not worth 7 mill
- Sabretooth9

Think you may be underestimating where the market is at now. He's easily worth 7m.

It wasn't a bad trade. Sold high, bought low. They got another puck moving LD and had to overpay for a 3C a couple months later. Not a great look. Might get better or worse based on Byram's next deal/trade.

he was better 5 on 5 than cozens and tage during the last season and a half as a sabre

Ruff has been calling out players ….
- Sabretooth9

you got to park them in the presser

samuelsson
clifton

lafferty

the vision was to play an upbeat system so I get the need for byram

given cozens struggles and our lack of legit centers in the prospect pool, I am just not sure casey should have been the player moved for that d man

- homiedclown

3C trade + 1x5m for Zucker + no other D change isn't great GM work.

This D group just doesn't fit together and everyone knew it.

They drafted forwards for Donnie hockey and Byram fits Donnie hockey. If you're getting ready to can Donnie, maybe not the best move.

Overpayment for McLeod ?

Savoie was/ isn’t doing anything to help this team win this season

they both got rich due to senseless wars and the many families lost their sons and daughters in these senseless battles

He's not bad at trades, he's bad at drafting? I guess that's one way to defend your guy.
