GMing is obviously easy and Adams is obviously a moron for not following your easy-peasy "GMing For Dummies" plan you've clearly laid out for him.

Christ, Adams, it's all there in black and white on HOCKEYBUZZ!!!

Gerbe and I could have drafted better than the Sabres have in the last 10 years.

GM’ing is really not hard, it just looks hard because of the toxicity at the top of the organization.

Nonetheless, Sabres won’t be watchable by 2024 and hopefully they don’t ruin Cozens because of it.

Let’s hope the Sabres can build around two top 3 picks the next two years, other then that I’m not sure what you want us to talk about.

The rear view mirror is only useful in a car. Early returns show Adams could have used his 2020 first round pick more intelligently. He's a talented kid and may take a while. So be it.

I'm not going to sit in a safe space and (frank)ing cry about it though.

May have helped if the Pegulas didn't fire half the hockey staff before the 2020 draft

Basically the same thing as Electric Forest in Michigan, except on a smaller scale.

Love Dom's work.
No model is perfect by anymeans, but he does a nice job of quantifying the results of offseason moves and their roster for most teams...at least in a relative way.

Good stuff.

Its drafting, and also player developemnt.

Dahlin - best D prospect to ever come out according to most. hes a mess

Miss - was rated top NHL prospect at one point by a few publications. Has not worked out

Reinart - #1 player in his draft by several publications - fell short of expectations
Eichel - nothing needs to be said

Risto - #1 dman in the making. failure

Nylander - Failure

Grigorenko - rushed, failure

Girgensons - bust of a pick

Quinn - woof

Comination of drafting, and piss poor player development.

Dom and Sean McIndoe finally feel bad for the fans and preface all of their Sabres poop talking with it now.

And NONE of this has anything to do with Kevyn Adams, but he doesn't get his chance to draft and develop his players, why?

Here's something new to cry about

A new round of Sabres cuts are in:

Weissbach, Malone, UPL, Laaksonen, Pekar, and MacInnis all have been assigned to the Amerks.

I don't see any surprises. Peterka made some pretty positive impact with his camp, I'm leaning less to Rochester for him than I was even yesterday.

Surprised Quinn is still here. I'm sure they want to get one more game out of him.

Cragster temporarily relieved with the UPL demotion.

WeissBach had a better camp than Quinn

Everyone else makes sense.
