Shut down Buffalo's 1st line and you have a pretty good shot at beating them!

Remember when Kevyn Adams and the front office were super awesome at drafting and totally knew what they were doing when they took Quinn over Rossi?
- sbroads24


He certainly is struggling no doubt about it.

Imagine that, a Top 10 pick in his D+3 has his break through year with 40pts at age 22...he is now a God. Playing with Kaprizov, a 100pt player at 82 games, and Mats Zucc.

FWIW, I wanted him bad as the Sabres pick and was disappointed when they went with Quinn. This boa4d would have been unrelenting on drafting a 5'9" player though.

Well, at least Rossi has an opportunity to over take Quinn in Pts if he scores 10 more in his next 2 games.

Saw they now need to play at a 105 point pace to get to 95. Gotta start digging out of that hole quickly.

Man I really hope they are playing poorly enough for us to see if those rumors about a “massive front office shakeup” are true.

It wont matter when you have the most stupid defensive players. Where is the captain?

Tuch was the only reasonable choice. They gave it to the highest paid player…..again.

Yeah they can't wait, even if they could straighten out there ST a bit would help immensely. It's ridiculous we have been talking about the same sh!t for 5 years.

This Organization is so screwed up from top to bottom, it reminds me of Snyder owning the Braves just before he was going to move the team out of Buffalo.
Seems like Pegula is also neutering the organization at every conceivable level.
- Assigns himself as President
* Who is the competent Sr Sabre Executive who is evaluating the Dept of Hockey Ops?
- No PoHO to lead the Org who has a plethora of experience in doing so. The org is rudderless.
* What is their desired identity?
* What roster players fit that identity?
* What pipeline Prospect are showing they align to the identity?
- Inexperienced GM who is failing miserably in nearly every facet.
* I personally would say the drafting hasn't been horrible, but there also doesn't seem to be a cohesive strategy either...more a mishmash of prospects
* Why are there so many holes on the existing roster?
* Why is there so much redundancy on the roster and in the pipeline?
* Why did they retain all the loser-proven Asst Coaches?
- Why are there no ice girls?

There is a ton more, but I'm becoming exhausted after a decade plaus of the same mistakes over and over.

Viola buying the Panthers was the greatest thing that ever happened for them. An owner who will spend the money on the team. Not only players, but on the whole organization from front office to training facilities.
But the Panthers didn’t truly start to rise until he went fully hands off and let Zito run the show.

So Broberg gets offer sheeted, “over paid” by Blues, and plays like he wants to earn his money. Would be nice if we had a Sabres player like that.
Hope he is ok. He’s a very good player

Who would you rather have? Broberg for a 2nd or Malenstyn for a 2nd.

Malenstyn's contract would be no comp. Always entertained by that one.

Okay Poogoola, lets not waste the entire season watching the coaching staff and Kevy boy miss the playoffs for yet another year. Make some swift decisions and get a veteran coach who has won the cup and let him pick his assistant coaches and the GM. This is not the way to sellout an arena. Terry will go down as the dummmmest owner in the history of sports. He got lucky with the Bills, however, McDumass will never lead them to the Superbowl.

Watched a chunk of it last night, yes. They are in a hell of a bind, if they don't gain some ground soon.

What's even more troubling then making that move is how Adams acted when talking about on the behind the scenes draft coverage, like they were turning a piece of coal into a diamond.
