Kevyn Adams GM thread

[OkimLom]

Reality of what happens:

 

[Ace]

Adams should come out during the roster freeze and jokingly complain that GMs won’t return his calls.

Then an hour later come back and say he genuinely thought the 20-27 of December is the only time that trades were allowed.

I’d respect him more.

Excuses, no answers

Says the reporting from Montreal was not all correct, of course

If it wasn’t correct something would have changed.

He didn’t fire Adams. Adams didn’t make a move after ELEVEN losses in a row. Every assistant coach is still here.

Don’t tell me reporting that Pegula thinks everything happening is acceptable is inaccurate when the actions say exactly f***ing that.

Who can Kevyn trade away next for another left handed defenseman?

This team is garbage and Kevyn had 5 years to assemble this team.

Get his ass out of here.

 

[May Day 10]

Don't worry, you don't make the playoffs on December 6th

 

[Ace]

Remember when Kevyn Adams talked down to the media for asking for interview time? That they were more worried than he was? The one where he explained in comic detail how he was incapable of doing the job?

That was six losses ago.

How is he still here?

I know Pegula is a cheap idiot who doesn’t give a solitary f***…and it’s still mind boggling.

Hey Kevyn, soon you'll learn:

 

[Fjordy]

FIRE

 

[Mattilaus]

Don't worry, you don't make the playoffs on December 6th

You don't make them on April 17th either.

 

[Ace]

Every day Kevyn Adams is still here becomes the newest low point in Sabres history.

Prediction time:
January 4th, the Sabres finish a 4 game road trip that ends with Stars, Avs, Knights. Sabres lose all three and January 5th Adam’s is relieved as GM. My out of left field prediction is Karmanos gets the GM job and Brian Burke is named POHO.

 

[Beerz]

Brian Burke would be apt for this organization

Why not then conduct a GM search, especially if you are hire POHO. That would be strange.

Me contemplating the immediate future ...

This is not my wishlist. This is my prediction. This will be the half assed thing Terry does.

 

[sabremike]

Brian Burke would be apt for this organization

The guy literally walked out after a year in Hartford because he couldn't take working for that blithering idiot Rich Gordon, he wouldn't even take a phone call from Pegula.

Thank God

POHO: Dudley, Lombardi, Holland, Wilson

 

[Ace]

POHO - Kevyn Adams
GM - Kevyn Adams in a mustache

 

[Zman5778]

Unless Terry has some sort of "come to Jesus" moment........we will not be getting a POHO.

He's said on at least one occasion that he doesn't like that kind of thing -- where the GM/Coach report to the POHO, and then the POHO reports to Pegula.

He prefers that the GM and coach both (separately) report to Pegula.

Fairly certain they talked to Burke in the Murray to Botterill era, and he said no.

Burke is a smart guy; he isn't going to babysit Terry.

Maybe just advisor?

Terry isn't going to bring in a big personality who wants things his own way.

Unless Terry sees the error of his ways......any new GM will be more along the lines of Adams: patient (read: non-aggressive) and understands that what Terry wants, Terry gets.
