May Day 10 Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago (edited) They have a philosophy of rushing most prospects into the nhl with no development. Adams, pegula, and the other dummies think they will just figure things out. Not the case. it's bad. Perception of this mess is through the floor. Its not weather trees and taxes because this is coming from a Minnesota player. Just keep trudging though. Magically it'll all come together like a Disney movie Edited 11 hours ago by May Day 10 1 1 Quote
Dr. Who Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago (edited) 3 hours ago, Simon said: This is exactly what it seems like from my current outside perspective. I have to wonder if they made a significant effort to add those necessary vets in the offseason and couldn't get anybody on board, hence Adams' palm tree (Hey, I tried) comment. I hope they don't tear it down prematurely; there has got to be some way to get the handful of vets they need to come on board. I sort of liken it to the Amari Cooper situation. The addition of a vet or two in the Top 6 (or Top 4 D) would go a long ways to slotting the rest of the group "down" where they actually belong. Part of the problem is that any vet with a NMC is going to block a trade to the Sabres. I think Pegula's reputation is currently so poor, he'd have to open his wallet and hire a really respected NHL fella and publicly make it clear he's handing the decision making to an established professional. Otherwise, what you're likely going to get is fringe vets that aren't good enough or to fill the role that is needed. And Pegula does not want to spend on the Sabres, which sets up an endless cycle of frustration and disappointment. Even with the untenable position they've placed themselves, I'm sure there are trades to be made. Adams is in a pickle, because other teams know the desperate plight of the continuing malaise. He'll have to overpay, and gamble with some of his precious futures. Folks looked at the roster before the season started and nearly everyone could see they needed at least one add to the top 6 and a top 4D. Get Power a stay-at-home solid D and it would make a world of difference. Bottom line, we are led by dummies. Nice guys, but not bright, and rather arrogant. How many times do they have to fail before they question the wisdom of their plans? Edited 8 hours ago by Dr. Who 1 Quote
May Day 10 Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago I'm not so sure they are "nice guys" based on what kevyn adams had to stoop to in order to land a position he had no experience to get Quote

Nice or not, TP is the worst hockey owner in the history of the NHL. Adams has not grown into the position. The whole thing is a fiasco. It makes one recognize the good fortune to have landed McDermott and Beane. (Allen, of course, is the most significant driver of success, but he doesn't do it alone.) Folks can complain about the playoff failures -- I do, but the Bills are a well-run organization. 1 Quote

Hire him as President of hockey ops and let him hire a GM. He is one of the most well respected GMs in modern NHL history. He has a stellar reputation in NHL circles. There’s a reason the oilers hired him when it looked like McDavid was nearing his last straw with Edmonton (and it worked). I don’t even know if he’d take the job but it’s worth a shot. Quote
May Day 10 Posted 1 minute ago Posted 1 minute ago The solution is so clearly obvious, and unanimously, all observers have the same conclusion. The fact that Pegula cannot or refuses to see this is infuriating. Like how greedy and selfish can someone be? Quote
