He has a pen and paper so that means …. He’s too involved with the team? I guess that’s definitive proof….
People are arguing he ignores the Sabres and just focuses on the Bills? I didn’t know that.
It’s hard to keep all the conspiracy theories straight. He meddles too much, he’s cheap, he ignores the team, etc.
He’s done a bad job hiring people to run hockey ops. There are slightly different reasons why in each case. But at the end of the day thats what the problem has been. His poor hiring of GMs/POHO. The rest is just baseless speculation fed by Sabres twitter and various forums.
Regier, Murray, and Botterill have all said that they talked to Terry daily.
So we know he isn't an owner who stands back and lets his people work.
While you are correct in that he's done a poor job hiring, I think even more important is he hasn't put his GMs in a position to succeed. I don't think any GM has gotten a real support staff of people who can advise them.
Adams specifically was basically put out on an island to start his GM role.
Its more than just poor hiring decisions. Its micromanagement and essentially injecting himself into the roster moves.
