The most infuriating part is that we will waste the rest of the year letting Botts and Kruger finish the season, then the will fire Botts and bring in a new GM with a mandate to fix the team. That GM will take a year to see what he has, if theres no improvement he will fire kruger to put his own guy behind the bench and we will give them a year to learn new systems and "trust the process" then in year 3 when no improvement is made they will fire the GM and rinse and repeat until Eichel is a Bruin and the Sabres are in Quebec City.
f*** this ownership and their unwillingness to see the writing on the wall for what it is. We've been here before, it's the same old song and dance, they dont fire in season and we are stuck waiting till next year.
You want to fix this team? You fire Botts tonight, in fact have Kruger fire him because hes the new president of hockey ops. You then go to Babcock or Budreau and you see which one wants to work with this team, at least Babcocks ego allowed him to make decisions on behalf of the team, not its players. Babcock would bring the team together by giving them a common enemy, him. Then you either allow Kruger to finish the year as GM and Pres, or you bring Drury in as GM. All in one move you put people in places to succeed at the jobs their best at. Kruger isnt a coach, hes upper management, he is too laid back when things go wrong, he knows what the team needs and who needs to go.
