I have a good feeling about the draft lottery.

Bring me Lafreniere or Byfield.

Is it because after this week's perceived or reality based on how it turns out clusterf*ck we are due for something good? I like that.

I think we are due for some good karma.

No matter what though the Sabres will get a good player no matter where they pick this year.

Ralph and Adams need to figure out the short term though.

There is no excuse to not be a playoff team next year get it done. This tank commander has abandoned his post. It’s time to win.

Is it that hard to see or do you need to be guided? They are trying the Bills McBean model with Ralph and Adams working as a team. Few GM's would have gone along with it and they love Adams and have been grooming him for this for a decade. I ham skeptical as to whether it works but law of averages has to hit sometime.

Interesting take.
Do you have examples of how they groomed him in Hockey Operations to be the leader of such an NHL organization?

If people wanted Ralph to be president and now he has a lot of say in personnel utilizing his years of international futbol top dog experience and his hockey knowledge aren't you getting some of what you wanted without him having the title?
- GilPerreault11


No because he’s still coaching.

Ralph. Adams. Lavi or Gallant or BBQ Bruce

Greater than....

Kim. Adams. Ralph.

It’s like putting Mojo at center. He’s ok-ish. But his strength is on the wing.

Ralph is an ok-ish coach. His strength is in upper management....

I wasn't arguing this is the best plan but why it went about and why there were no interviews for the GM. I don't think you are the best blogger, but we are stuck with you so that happens in liife.

The Bruins are looking to make an offer for Eichel... Gulp!!

I mean, who wouldn't want to play for the B's right now, they're loaded to the gills! And of all places for Jack, there couldn't be a better fit.

I say double-down and bring Johnny Hockey to Buffalo. Dahlin gets that done. Gadreau looked great next to Jack on Team USA.

It doesn't help matters that Lehner is the best and youngest starting goaltender on the ufa market either...

Don't be so nieve. As soon as Eichel demands a trade, it's over.

Is this team gonna be any further along in 3 years? We can hope. But what's the plan? Ownership just blew it up.

Adams is not going to cut his own throat.

And some Bruins reporter "suggesting" they go after him doesn't mean sh!t.

And they blew WHAT up?

A scouting department that, from many accounts, was lazy?

A GM that 90% of this fanbase wanted fired?
