And bring in someone who has no ties to the area or the team and has won consistently in this league.
This franchise is so incompetent in every decision they make.
The owner only cares about having a puppet in charge. He hired a man with no front office experience 9 years into a drought because he had worked in other areas for him. He doesn’t give a solitary f*** about winning. He doesn’t answer questions so he never has to deal with it. Adams is an unqualified Puppetman meant to smile and try to sell hope to morons while actively destroying the market.
If Pegula had any interest in experience leading the franchise he wouldn’t have hired the least experienced person to run it. He doesn’t care. Adams went in day one and gutted the hockey department for him. He then spent the least amount of money in the league the last three seasons. The only thing that could get him in trouble is spending money…..but we’ve already seen him buyout Skinner to save cash while creating a fake cap hit further preventing him from spending real money for the next six years. Mittelstadt needed a contract? Goodbye Mittelstadt.
Things won’t change. They won’t get better. They will, in fact, get worse.
Why is Lindy back? In hopes to sell tickets while paying him as little as possible because Jersey picks up most of the tab.
The Sabres owner is a grifter who is waiting on his next league expansion checks while watching a team he purchased rise in value from the 190 million he paid to 750 million while having zero success and claiming poverty. He is the worst owner in the history of this sport. He has owned the team for 13 full years…13 seasons have begun under his ownership. They have missed the playoffs every single one of them.
And what’s the buzz about town? That if things get bad enough…he will PROMOTE KEVYN ADAMS and let someone from inside the organization take the GM title.
It is impossible to overstate what this man has done to this hockey franchise, this fanbase or this hockey market.
Any suggestion that the snake rots anywhere but from the head is misinformed, misguided, or flat out bullshit.
