As long as Kim Pegula is running the show over there, and thinks she knows what she is doing, things are not going to improve. The names of those who come and go will continue to change, however. Just applying the same logic we had here for 10+ years. Playoffs aren’t enough, especially in a league like the NHL. How long before the Sabres win a series in the playoffs? Not just make them. My guess is 3-5. Then we are at a half a generation of futility.

Garrett had one losing season (a bunch of 8-8's), 3 playoff appearances (2 out of the last 4 years--they would erect statues to him here at TBD for such a record), so he wan't a total bum. Probably should have gotten rid of him after 2018 playoff failure.

Or the 2016 with that record and the first-game playoff exit (which would have delayed the statue, ahem, erection).

A 9-7 non-playoff season versus an 8-8 non-playoff season means little. You're reaching there. Again Garrett under-performed as a HC. He won't get another HC'ing gig again.
