They need (and have needed for years) a white-washing of the hockey department. Pegula needs to get over the fantasy that he needs to be able to share his input and stop keeping the franchise hostage based on his selfish desires.
Someone with massive credibility needs to be brought in as a president. Dave Poile comes to mind. Lure him out of retirement with $, and give him full autonomy and budget to build the organization from the top down.
Kevyn Adams was and always will be a joke hire. It was a guy who is willing to lower himself to implement pegulas ideas in exchange for skipping every step needed on the way of becoming an nhl general manager. Many of the other guys in the front office are a joke and wouldn't be able to obtain the same level position elsewhere in the nhl.
Pegula (and adams) really feel they are close to cracking this code of making the playoffs (which seems to have become the low standard of excellence here, which is sad). I believe adams is here for multiple years at a minimum. If the fans and media demand blood, they will go with forton or jakubowski as GM and appert as head coach.
I think there is a greater chance the sabres move in the next 5 years than Pegula figure this out.
