The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

[Ace]

I’m old enough to remember when this season was about accountability.

Here we are. With an edict to change nothing even when it’s broken. The most accountability possible.

screw this team and the limp dick owner.

They say Adams is active and looking for a deal, Kevyn himself says so. Terry comes and says "No trades".

Logically it. makes sense though. The trade freeze is from Dec 20-27th. If he tells Kevyn no trades for the next week, he has two weeks to find a new GM. Maybe he's letting his nephew Chat GPT GM ready.

If Adams’ job was on short leash why would you allow him to make a trade?

So that’s probably good news for people that want to replace Adams.

Firing Adams is the only good news for people that want to replace Adams.

The owner saying there won’t be moves just means there will be no additions to payroll. It says nothing else until something else is done.

Do you think the players actually feel good about the owner saying it’ll work itself out? Surely they aren’t all delusional enough to think they’re actually a good team catching some bad breaks.

If I were a player wanting a chance to win a cup, I'd want off this team at first chance. If the reports are true, it's going to be a while until we're in the playoffs again. Atleast we have the Bills!

If I played for the Sabres I would almost feel worse about myself having the owner show up after a 10 game losing streak and tell the team "we believe in you!" It's embarrassing to the players being coddled in a competitive, physical game for sucking. This is how you talk to your grade school kid who sucks but you want to encourage them to keep playing. I'd rather have a normal "this is f****** trash boys" type of chewing out.

I'm sick of you, this is a pointless argument. They get in certain deals, a package deal or a change of scenery. You realize we're going to have to trade someone to turn this team around.

We need roster spots for a new guy to fill. You read what I wrote, Mitts wasn't strruggle when we traded him.

You can't wait forever for ALL your young guys to develop, I don't care, I'll trade Power and Tuch and anyone to turn this team around, they're not going anywhere with this shitty roster.

HOCKEY DEALS, NO FOR FUTURES. They traded Eichel, Reinhart and almost everyone else for futures.

Your take is "I think we need to trade our young guys at all time low values for legit good players" Like no shit. Everybody would do that if that was an actual real thing.

"We need roster spots for a new guy to fill. You read what I wrote, Mitts wasn't strruggle when we traded him."

Thanks captain obvious. That doesn't mean the same fans here didn't want Mitts traded for a mid round pick when he struggled. The same is happening with our young guys now. Just very reactionary thinking that makes our team even worse than it is.

"You can't wait forever for ALL your young guys to develop, I don't care, I'll trade Power and Tuch and anyone to turn this team around, they're not going anywhere with this shitty roster."

Newsflash. It doesn't turn the team around. It makes it worse. How many times do we have to go down this road?

"HOCKEY DEALS, NO FOR FUTURES. They traded Eichel, Reinhart and almost everyone else for futures."

THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TRADED REINHART. That's my point. Why are we talking about trading Power or Tuch. It's like you just want to extend the drought for another 10 years.

How did we trade for ROR? We traded futures to get him. Do that. Stop getting rid of talent. Add to the talent.

Whether it's expecting a big trade to swap out some dead weight around them or wanting to play on a different team altogether, I dunno which player is looking at this situation like "I'm too much of an all star to be here with these losers, do something". They're all losers, not a single one of them have earned that mindset. Not even Dahlin. They should be looking at themselves.

The only way forward is if Terry sells.
