As much as Kevyn Adams is just totally inept at this job, it’s also notable to me that there are multiple NHL teams in free fall and no serious moves are happening. NHL GMs are just cowards.

And you have Drury forcing his team's captain out of town and that hasn't done much to inspire the room. They are 2-5-0 since the Trouba trade.

Chad is having a meltdown






This needs more steam. This should’ve been the main story in every bit of Sabres reporting over the last however many years. It needs to become common knowledge in ALL hockey circles that the team won’t pay for coaches, won’t hire a full scouting staff, and how virtually nobody in their front office sans Karmanos has even had a job in professional hockey outside of Buffalo.

Well never get it from the team due to the despicable censorship.

I’m pretty sure the hockey world (Owners/team executives/agents/etc) are well aware of this. If you mean fans, then I agree. But I don’t see how getting the word to them will change things.

Scathing report.
It shouldn't be a news flash.

Everyone knows about how Adams had to slash staff on day one as GM. And the media has reported consistently on how thin certain areas of the hockey department have been since then, including the Sabres having one of the smallest pro scouting staffs in the entire NHL.

Chad D said it on a podcast in the last couple of weeks and it sums it up well for me:

The Sabres are an Unserious Organization.

Pegula actually hiring someone like Ken Holland and giving him the control and the ability to fully staff the hockey operations of the franchise is a pipedream. There are no indications that Pegula has any interest in turning the Sabres into a Serious Organization anytime soon.

I agree 100%. Pegula seems incapable of admitting fault and seems to think he is the smartest guy in the room because of money.

This team cannot be saved. The only thing that could change the course is a press conference, an apology, a promise to get better, and an introduction to the new team president who doesn't have restrictions and preconditions.

Id be less surprised if they were sold
