Mike Harrington: Kevyn Adams feels the same pain in the standings that fans do

"I can tell you, first and foremost, I am not happy with where we are in the standings, for sure," Adams told The Buffalo News. "But I have complete belief and faith in this group of players, in this group of coaches, that we are going to to be a really good team, here. It's just, of course...

If you peruse the Buffalo subforum you'll find people talking about how he's one of the longest tenured GMs despite everyone else around him in tenure having made the playoffs in recent years or won the cup.

No because;

The NHL still existed during the war, with makeshift lineups of players who were not conscripted by the draft. Especially in Canada, the draft’s fitness standards were very high. The league also enlisted players who were too young or too old to be drafted. Tommy Gorman, general manager of the Montreal Canadiens, took advantage of a Canadian draft loophole extended to men holding jobs in essential wartime industries. Gorman ensured Canadiens players secured jobs in industries like shipbuilding and munitions manufacturing, allowing the team to maintain a powerful lineup. However, most of the other teams in the league had their lineups gutted by draft callups.
