I think he already asked for one

Key word here that everyone should be paying attention to : think

He thinks Jack asked for a trade. We don't know for certain that he did. Calm down.

Friedman on 31 Thoughts podcast: "I don't think Botterill wanted to give Jack Eichel that contract and ownership said "we're doing it". And I don't think Botterill wanted to give Jeff Skinner that deal. I think what Botterill wanted to do was offer big money for a low term”

Jason Botterill, from what I heard, is not a "term guy". He says too many teams get burned by those mistakes and I think he was overruled. I think what they're looking at right here is: There's a finite amount of time here before Eichel says "I had enough.""

They should've fired him when he didn't want to give Eichel the contract.

Terry Pegula addressed the reports on Tuesday.

“First off, there is no financial situation,” he said. “I don’t know where that rumor started. "

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Buffalo Sabres used to be the laughing stocks of the Eastern Conference, but instead only Buffalo wears that crown today.

Not really the fact that she’s a woman. She’s incompetent and not fit for the role.

Neither is Terry.

They are both failing

No problem with a woman in power. Problem with someone who hasn’t figured it out after 9 years, continues to meddle, and wants to be the president of how many organizations? 4. 5. 6? It’s a problem with arrogance, not of the gender of the person. But you keep being woke a.f...

(frank) off. not the time for your bullpoop. no one gives a (frank) what her gender is.

I'm sorry to be rude, but I can't with this today. Don't deflect from the obvious and MASSIVE shortcomings of this ownership group.

I don't give a poop what the structure is, as long as we have the power to install people who actually know what the (frank) they're doing.

More direct than I was. But ... yep!

Now you have...
Ralph, around hockey, not a ton of nhl experience and about 100 nhl games as a head coach.

Adams. Around hockey a lot. Player. Cup winner. Agent. Pegula lap boy for 9 years.

And the pegs. With Kim as president and “fixed in”.... to continue the 9 years of failure and “still learning”.

The owners are too hands on. Period. Friedman even says it in the podcast I sent. The Pegulas have been meddling since Darcy.

They need to hire a president. Give him a budget and financial expectations and walk the frank away. Sit on the super yacht and leave the team alone.

Until that happens. Your Buffalo Sabres will be a joke and laughing stock of the nhl.

LOL. you really don't have a clue do you....must be nice to be so sheltered from the real world. the simple fact of the matter is the sabres are a mess from the top down its got nothing to do with being a female.

I have a glimmer of hope that suggests Kevyn will hire a team of advisors/GMs or whatever you want to call them. He knows he's inexperienced and sounds like he wants to surround himself with smart people. That's a start.

"You have to check any ego at the door, and you have to surround yourself with great people. So if you don't know the answer to something, you say 'I don't know' and you surround yourself with people you'd ask hard questions and you'd figure it out together."

Quote one person that directly suggested Kim is a woman therefore she can't perform the job.

And now you have to question if the Pegula’s will put up the money to hire the right people around him?
