This thread is ridiculous.
Kevyn Adams being a GM in the NHL is just ridiculous.
The Sabres are ridiculous.
Just an unserious franchise.

The players have failed under multiple coaches. It’s been a clear roster issue for the entire tenure of this regime. And it never changes. Under this ownership I doubt it ever will.

SAVE OUR SABRES: PEGULA OUT!!!!!!!!
Random thought: If Adams were deliberately attempting to fail miserably what different moves would he have made over the past 5 seasons?
Lindy's old team also had some great expected values and got some terrible goaltending. Despite only being around for one year, the narrative was in the 2nd year of good expected when they set a team record for points, it was all due to Brunette, rather than getting modestly better goaltending. Then Brunette went and they lost their top defenseman - love or hate him Hamilton is their #1 guy - and it was rolled back to beating up Ruff as the coach. With goaltending improvements, that team has aged nicely into their current position. They have two centers I would take before anyone on the Sabres and a couple of defensemen I'd take for the 2nd pair on the Sabres before anyone else.
That said, Adams continues to be a fool. He's followed the Botterill path of just not making any moves and now the timeline horizons have gotten very tight.
I would also point out that their xG numbers are very much a case of Dahlin's importance to this team.

Terry Pegula needing to be and feel validated about his hockey opinions is very likely what's cost and what'll continue to cost the Sabres from ever hiring quality management.
We have 14 years of proof, Terry. When it comes to hockey, you don't know what you're talking about.

Interesting to look at history of Adam's tenure here as GM.

With a record like that, any other organization would of fired Kevyn Adams by now. The only blemish is the 22-23 season where it was a winning season, but yet no playoff appearance.

It was more of an exercise to see where the team was at the half way point.
The back half of those seasons:
24-25 Season - TBD
23-24 Season - Backend 41 games 22-17-2 122 GF 105 GA
22-23 Season - Backend 41 games 21-15-2 135 GF 155 GA
21-22 Season - Backend 41 games 19-18-4 120 GF 146 GA
Edit: Expectations; MAYBE a slight improvement, but not enough of a large improvement to expect a serious playoff push coming up.
