I am not a follower anyway. I am disgusted with this team. 10 years of crap hockey is ridiculous and inexcusable. other teams can turn their teams around in 3-5 years, hell some in 1 (see Montreal 2015-2016 & 2016-2017)

5 coaches and 2 GM's since Lindy & Darcy, first overall pick, (2) 2nd overall picks (one generational talent) (the other very good winger) and that is really it in 7 franking years... All us fans eat the shat sandwich that we get served every year by Pegula and Jbotts, we get super excited for players like Scott Wilson or Frolik, with the hopes that we can turn our season around. when in reality they are just 3&4 line role players (in which we have 3/4 of a team full of them). We have 4-5 NHL quality players, Skunk, Skinner, Oloffsson, Montour, Dahlin and one GREAT player in Jack. That is just not enough, In todays NHL you need to solid scoring lines for sure and the 3-4 lines have to chip in to help. We have 1 line, and the makings of another one and we have done nothing to address it, NOTHING we had the same problem last year..

I have ZERO faith that Jbotts can fix this roster in the next 3-5 years. Can he sure, but I seriously doubt it. I am just so done with this team.

I dont blame Scott Wilson personally but I'm pretty sure playing with him made ROR lose his love for the game

JB is going to have to teach Terry a thing or two about how to be patient. Why is he in such a hurry to ice a quasi-competitive team?

From sportsnet.ca link above:

8. The Sabres resumed their season with a 5–2 home loss to Ottawa on Tuesday night. At all-star weekend, I heard some talk of the frustration around the organization and how much the losing is wearing on owner Terry Pegula. We’re coming up on nine years since he bought the Sabres. At that media conference, he promised to spend, which had Sabres fans dancing with joy. He’s spent on players, coaches, executives, scouting — everything. They made the playoffs that first season, losing in seven games to Philadelphia. But there have been no playoff berths since, and the team is 80 games under .500 in that span.

Players credited Ralph Krueger with changing the attitude around the team, and Jack Eichel’s having a Hart Trophy-calibre season. But they’re 10 points out as we wake up on Wednesday and there are no easy answers. The disappointment is not going unnoticed.

he has gone cheap on coaches, and executives


no clue where we stand compared to other scouting departments


we are a few points better in the standing vs the end of last year due to 1 thing

Jack Eichel maturing and being a complete player


right now we are pretty much a .500 club

6 points better then last season

I'd like to see them hand the reigns to JJ

6'5" 205 with a .925

It will be positive if we can see if there's potential there. Do any of us need to see more Hutton?


That last part is rhetorical. Season is donezo, give the guy a shot for 5+ games

I would gladly take gallant and move Ralph to an executive type role.

I want a coach that will scare the poop out of the players
