Kevyn Adams GM thread

They had a chance to get Waddell but Adams wouldn't relinquish power

Every observer of this team, unanimously has the same conclusion as the only path forward. It is so obvious

They are 0-3 since terry' big meeting(s). He can't be pleased, right? Adams' own words at that terrible press conference are coming back to haunt them every day.

He has got to be facilitating a major change, right?

1. Sell the team.
2. New owner hires competent people to run it.

Remember this was a team that was in the playoff picture a little more than three weeks ago. The not so bright Pegula was probably looking at his GM -- who really is a cost cutter and a propaganda machine -- as finally executing on his multi-year process of building a playoff bound roster. I'm sure at that point Pegula was satisfied with his hire and the progress in the standings.

And then here comes an epic 13 game losing streak that completely wipes out any notion he, Adams, or any of us had about this being a playoff bound team. The collapse was swift and absolute. Pegula is dumb but he ain't stupid. Adams' firing is immanent but it takes a little time to solidify his replacement.

You think it’s a formality and Pegula is just looking at who to name once he’s fired? Wouldn’t he just fire a guy and make an interim?

Please fire him.

Paul Hamilton in the Sabres pregame today...Terry Pegula would rather have gm that does what he wants to do rather than run a competent hockey team.

Love him or hate him Paul's Diatribe on the state of the Sabres today was poetic. (From adding Eichel/Reinhart/Dahlin/Power to the bottom of the league cycle again now). I hope Pegula and KA listens and they end the delusion!

It's true.

I heard it, and it was kind of jarring to hear Hamilton speak that way. He normally is fairly tame in any criticism, but he was after them today

He usually plays the hits of "you can't keep firing everybody and making their changes" and "do you want to start all over with another rebuild?"

Kevin Adams got the GM job because he ran Harbour Center/Jr Sabres and cleaned out and fired the hockey department/staff Jason Botterill would not for the owners.

Terry Pegula has been so jaded by the hirings of LaFontaine/Murray, NHL/Botts he had to have a unqualified yes man in charge who has built a low IQ core hockey team incapable of learning, improving, or handling any sign of pressure.

Adams traded Eichel(finally under pressure from the league and Eichel threatening to go to the media)/Reinhart to Cup winners for spare parts, then his next best center for a dman that does not fit what they needed.

RESULT: LAST PLACE AT CHRISTMAS 2024

Anyone dreaming of a qualified replacement should know better. No self respecting, accomplished hockey person is taking a job where the top priorities are don’t spend and do what the owner says or else. Then add in the pressure of a now 14 year playoff drought in a market players don’t value. It’s dead, guys. Pegula killed it. It’s over.

 

[Fjordy]

It would be nice if all the reporters challenged him to a duel.

AI wasn't very good at this

Sell the team Terry!
