Sometimes it is better to tell people change is imminent and do nothing than say the status quo shall remain. If the motivation is fear of personal upheaval or the motivation is hope that help will arrive... do SOMETHING to make the situation different.

One small change is Pegula has now put himself front and center in the Sabres’ debacle. Can’t hide behind Kevyn anymore, Terry.

I have seen Josh state things as fact just this week that I know are 100% incorrect because I have first hand info. He states things as facts with nothing to back it up, and then acts like the most arrogant prick of you dare question it. Him and Adams are the kings of unearned arrogance.

Why would I try to convince someone who is incapable of objectively looking at this issue? Most recently you posted Sportrac numbers that are complete bullshit. They don’t mean what you presented them as meaning. But they fit the narrative you already believe, so you grabbed them and posted without digging into their veracity.
I f***ed up passing along Ben Masson‘s tweet with those numbers as well. But then I looked into them to see how we stacked up with other teams. Only to find out those numbers don’t at all represent the total amount of spending by a team. I’m sure we’re in the bottom third, but I’d like to see the true numbers. So then I can compare and contrast with the true numbers for other teams.
If you actually had an open mind, you would see that Pegula is just as involved with the Bills’ training camps, personnel meetings, draft prep, etc., as he is with the Sabres. We even have quotes of him arguing in favor of drafting certain players during pre-draft meetings with the Bills. We know he has a management set up where McDermott answers directly to him. Beane is effectively McDermott’s right hand man and not his boss, which would be more common for a GM.
