The reason that Buffalo was stuck for a long time is they kept trying to jump-start their rebuild before it was primed. That Ville Leino signing may have been one of the worst in NHL history. Then by the time they were out from under that, they went and traded for O'Reilly before they had the depth to manage such a move. Basically Pegula was running the team like GM mode on the NHL series rather than letting the guys in his front office do their jobs, and the team inevitably sucked as a result. It's no coincidence that they're finally turning a corner after he gave Adams much more free reign than his prior GMs. Buffalo's issue is that it took him a decade to realize he doesn't know what the f*** he's doing with the Sabres
Ah Pegula had a classic case of Tepperitis.
