Need to just not go to games or support this shit. What a bunch of bitches, I wouldn’t sneak a palm tree into that shit if they paid me at this point. f*** outta here, they’re lucky the fans even have a sense of humor at this point. Next stage is throwing shit, Terry. f***in sell.

They are drafting &/or developing poorly

You're reading too into it. It's not drafting or developing, it is simply hiring the wrong people at the wrong jobs while having a trigger-happy finger at the same time. It's hard to find an identity when nobody has been there long enough to establish one. I don't exactly blame Terry for his firings because Adams looks like another failure based on what he's done in terms of drafting, trading, and hiring personnel like Lindsey. The Sabres weren't going to make the playoffs with or without Ruff, but a dumb hire when Keefe was on the market. Nonetheless, Pegula keeps hiring these rubbish blokes.

Why did Kevyn Adams call an unnecessary press conference just to cry that over his tenure he was unable to draft anyone as good as Josh Allen and so that's why they suck?

What is actually wrong with Buffalo? Don't want the "Adams sucks" "Lindy sucks" actual answer on why the team is so bad. They are great on paper and shouldn't bebin this situation.

They are great on paper

Demonstrates the value of being "great on paper".

Poor management and team construct means that they are not really outstanding at anything. What would you say the Sabres' strength is? Why exactly would other teams fear the Sabres?

Also seems to be a deeply-ingrained resignation to mediocrity. Utter lack of elan.

Not the players' fault as culture starts from the top down.

The Sabres weren't going to make the playoffs with or without Ruff, but a dumb hire when Keefe was on the market.

Ruff was hired during the Leafs-Lightning series, so Keefe wasn’t yet available as he wasn’t fired until a few weeks later.

Either way, hard to imagine Keefe would turn down the NJD job for Buffalo. Which isn’t to say that Buffalo wasn’t an attractive opening, more-so that NJD was about as close to an ideal landing spot as you can get.
