Kevyn Adams GM thread

[Ehran]

I don't think anyone feels animosity towards him as a person. He seems very nice.

It's the incompetence I don't like. And that isn't even his fault. he should have never been given this job.

I don't know him, obviously, but in the videos and press conferences I've seen he comes off as arrogant and smug.

So, no animosity really, but I don't have much respect for him either.

9 in a row while Kevyn sits on his fat worthless ass doing f*** all.

Wouldn’t want to overreact to a few games

Don't worry Adams wont panic. He's got this.

He's too afraid to do anything, just like his team. Not a coincidence.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

He has to make a move or resign

No move is going to fix this team. I'd also rather not have Adams make some desperate move to save his job. Just fire everyone at the end of the season & hope the next FO can figure it out.

Kyvyn will fire Lindy, name PP wizard Seth Appert “interim” head coach, remove the interim tag this summer, then fire him after a 15 game losing streak next season

KA is a spineless yes man coward

 

[Yatzhee]

All that matters is the L. 9 in a row, 20 in a row, the time to act was then and is now. Adams needs to be fired. A professional seasoned GM brought in immediately. Enough is enough. This bull ***** needs to end, here, now

 

[May Day 10]

At least you don't qualify for the playoffs on December 14th either.

Or any other day in December apparently

If we're only allowed to make nostalgia hires, maybe we can snag Drury after he gets canned. Rangers are in free fall.

 

[Fjordy]

This f***ing bastard needs to run out of town, scum.

 

[sabremike]

I think you can figured out what happened in the replies.

He believes in his guys and he likes where they are going

Terry, wake up, f***!

An owner who won’t fire his puppet

A puppet who is whatever combination of unable/unwilling/not allowed to make moves you want to believe

A coach who isn’t getting fired…and doing so while retaining the puppet would be the biggest joke in the world

No team has ever been down this bad. They literally can’t/won’t do anything thus deeming all of this totally acceptable.

Kevyn Adams will never work in another front office again. So ask yourself why this one keeps him. Ask yourself what the only service he provides to ownership is. It will answer any outstanding questions you can’t possibly still have at this point.

 

[Fjordy]

Maybe Jarmo for GM? Give him authority. He was GM of a team that is not in a big market. Columbus played in the playoffs in about half the seasons he was GM, he is an experienced, tough and persistent negotiator. He is not afraid to make deals.

I look at the list of experienced GMs and there are a lot of dinosaurs there who probably don't even want to be GMs anymore, and Terry doesn't need POHO. There probably won't be many more options in the summer.

 

[debaser66]

His nice facade trickles once he is faced with anykind of adversity.
I see no South Buffalonian toughness, just a man standing in giant shoes, looking up, like he is at the bottom of a dwell.

I say this with the love that's given - f*** him.

Tell all this to the more than two dozen people he sent Adams to fire on his first day. The people Botterill wouldn’t fire because it would gut the organization for no reason other than saving Pegula money. Not the tens of millions he’s saving ON TOP of an artificially low cap done to pay back owners for years…just pocket change.

Tell it to the staff that were laid off in the middle of the pandemic whose total salaries wouldn’t even be noticed as a rounding error on his accounts.

Tell it to the deadlines the year we finished a point out with a fake contract getting them to the floor as they added RILEY STILLMAN to fix a porous defense.

Tell it to the smallest pro scouting department in the league.

Tell it to the constant in house cheap promotions like Granato and Appert in key positions.

Tell it to New Jersey who is paying Lindy more for his two years signed here than Pegula is.

Tell it to Skinner’s buyout savings that aren’t being used as the team flounders while the need for a top 4 D and top 6 forward were known by all in the offseason. Tell it to the next five years of cap used by doing it that provide more fake spending as the move saved…as always…Pegula more cash.

Tell it to the season ticket holders when they get their annual gift of unsold Sabres puzzles and a discount card for the Sabres store.

Tell it to the GM awho has spent YEARS saying he needed money fto re-sign his failed core only to ship one out immediately when he needed a deal and had arb rights and a better season than the guys he already paid. Tell it to those RFAs that won’t be getting the money anyway because they’re shit…in part because they are forced to play over their heads too young BECAUSE HE WONT SPEND MONEY.

Actually…scrap all that. Tell it to a f***ing wall

Ummm, why am I telling this to anyone? I agree that Pegula not spending $$$ and his bad management is the big issue. I just pointed out that it is fair to conclude it is even worse now than it has been in the past, as there were actual years where he did spend like a playoff team (on player salaries, anyway).

Adams won’t be fired until Pegula publicly announces his job is safe.
