Kevyn Adams GM thread

[TageGod]

I hear Pominville is not a GM yet.

 

[Fjordy]

All these potential internal hires scare me even more. What if Karmanos is singing along with Adams and agrees with him on how to build the team, or even more so Forton, who loves the draft and the young guys he has selected. At least do it right once in so many years.

 

[Sabresbyswords104]

Fire him soon

 

[toddkaz]

This guy needs to be fired so players can see accountability.

Unfortunately even if it does happen it probably wont be until the off season

 

[HaNotsri]

Fire him soon

No, if we wait until june we can have a crappy improvised draft and then a year of evaluation before his replacement acts (minor trade for 4th liner).

 

[Fjordy]

Firing him now makes more sense than in the summer. The new GM will have more time to evaluate the team and its problems.

Sabres are 3-4 since their meeting with Pegula before the Montreal game.

Which, scary thought, is actually an improvement on their record.

Only took the team, what 3 games to respond…

If Adams wants to keep his job, he is going to need to take some swings to improve this team.

Imagine thinking Adams is in any danger of losing his job. He got the job in the first place for the same reason he's not getting fired anytime soon.

He will be. Maybe not this season, but definitely if 2025 sucks.

Adams shouldn't survive this season.

Adams shouldn't survive this season.

Should is the worst word ever invented.

More often than not, using the word "should" leads to disappointment and anger.

Has this guy had any good draft choices? I see nothing but players wetting their pants whenever the opposition scores.
Maybe Benson, who fell in his lap.

If Benson was such a slam-dunk pick, then why did 12 other teams pass on him?

And yes, Kevyn has had good picks. Quinn was a fine 1st rounder, especially now that he's removing his head from his ass. JJP was a good 2nd rounder. Poltapov looks like a promising 2nd rounder. Novikov is likely to play NHL games, which is great for a 6th rounder. Kozak could possibly be a long-term 4th liner for us, great for a 7th rounder. Kulich looks like a steal at 28. Komarov also should play NHL games, which is great for a 5th rounder. Wahlberg and Strbak look like good 2nd round chocies. Way too early to tell for 2024, but Helenius and Ziemer are promising.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Oh, he is on his way out now for sure.

Only to be replaced by a janitor at the Harbor Center.

 

[SabresFan26]

What do people need to do to get him fired? Billboards, campaigns, online signatures?

I am on board with you 100% but man its hard to get excited even if he gets fired because I expect Terry to just replace Adams with another Adams.

 

[SabresFan26]

Need to get fire Adams trending.

Well, or not. Even Karmanos has some experience in the front office and I don't know how much Adams listens to him. Well, Kevyn just built a shitty young team and doesn't want to do anything, the worst GM in the league.

 

[Zman5778]

Need to get fire Adams trending.

I don't think it'll matter.

If that 13 game losing streak.....during which we looked incompetent half the games.....wasn't enough, I honestly don't know what is.


I think the only way Terry even thinks about a change is if Sabres fans quite literally stop buying tickets and merchandise......but I honestly don't think the fanbase is capable of that.

 

[Ehran]

If people thought that would do it, I'm sure those would already have been attempted.

Sabres fans have lost all hope, and for good reasons.

 

[DapperCam]

It makes more sense to fire him now, so the new GM can be part of the draft process, and scout the team’s needs for free agency/trades that need to be made to change the composition of the roster.

Maybe Pegula is waiting for the football season to be done. The Bills are a lot of fun and firing your friend is a bummer. Better to wait and not ruin the fun moment the Bills are having. So maybe around mid-March at the latest. Even if the Bills went all the way the afterglow should be fading by then.

It feels like the older players will leave and Adams will replace them with prospects and it will be a vicious circle and next your Buffalo will continue to be the youngest team in the league and a development team for the rest of the NHL.

 

[SabresFan26]

Pegulas don’t like being embarrassed. Maybe more national PR destroying them and getting them trending will help.

After the Whistle should be a good listen after this.
