Good thing Terry Pegula was in that meeting today. Smart hockey man.

And f*** it maybe they should start going by the Saab-reys

Imo the Sabres need to make a trade they find painful. That means one or two of their core guys has to go for depth. This cannot continue along the same path year after year. Their core isn’t a bunch of inexperienced players.

I think they are screwed as long as their owner wants to moonlight as the GM

*As long as he assumes Adams is a good gm

So TL;DR it starts with ownership.

 

[Cheddabombs]

I think they can make it 15

Terry walking out of that meeting like "remind me, who were those guys?"

At this point you can't help but feel bad for Sabres fans. I've never seen the Sabres players look so souless like their existence was pain.

Honestly what do you even do from here?

We've been here before.
As a Sabres faithful, I've found a nice bottle of Old No.7 to curl up with by the fire barrel in the alley off Seneca Street worked well. Of course, it helped having the meanest most bitter look of I'll commit violence to keep the few transient Sabres fans eyeing up my bottl away. They still have hope, the look in my face tells them to abandon any hope.

Hope this helps.....

Surely he meant “you should expect a big trade”

 

[tantalum]

Ah the vote of confidence has come!

Big changes incoming....

the owner clearly wants the team to suck. The question is why? What is he getting out of having a non competitive, totally irrelevant team. What is his end game here.

It's already in the Buffalo thread.

What this snake oil salesman has done to Buffalo hockey is nothing short of a travesty. Utterly despicable and disgraceful. He's methodically destroyed a storied franchise and doesn't give a single shit about it.

The Bills are doing going so good ole Terry is in a good mood!

Get the revenue sharing money. That's it. He doesn't care about anything else.

He's turned the Sabres into the NHL's answer to the Pittsburgh Pirates: a farm team for actual professional sports franchises

Ol Terry thought he was in the Buffalo Bills locker room.

Ironically, he's not making the wrong decision here. When the Sabres do play a full 60, they are a scoring machine that is tough to play against. Yes they have 0 consistency in doing so, but they are still a young team.
The spankings will continue until they learn to clean their room daily. Sometimes, tough love is necessary. As for the playoffs, don't expect it and you won't be disappointed? Just a thought.

Old Terry must have binged Ted Lasso this weekend and thought a rousing speech would be enough to turn the tide.
