So Ralph is to credit for Eichel’s 2019/2020 season ?

Ralph is to credit for Skinner getting 40 goals ?

And the year after... where the team went to SH!T

I agree that the AR coach, after Ralph, definitely had an advantage of just not being Ralph. Next year is a big year as expectations are high. Personally I'd rather take that chance with Trotz. Waiting one more year to see what he can do isn't the smart move unless Trotz wouldn't consider coming to Buffalo.

Exactly why I don’t have my pom, poms out for Donnie yet.

If they put together a full 82 next year, I’ll believe.

You're not saying Donnie is a better coach than Trotz are you?
I will agree Donnie is the better coach to make everyone on the team feel good. Trots is the better coach to get to the playoffs next year and beyond.

If you would like to watch Okposo, Pysyk, Anderson, Eakin, Girgenson, and a bunch of other over the hill vets become team leaders in minutes played, all the while minimizing TOI of the young guys; then Trotz is your guy.
Have at it.

His destiny is to take an underperforming veteran team and refocus them on playing an ultra-conservative defensive system and squeak out 2-1 wins. VGK, Philly, Stars, Leafs are better fits.
Absolutely do not let him near a young roster requiring on the job development like the Sabres.

I did say if adams isn't exploring this option he should be fired. It's just business not a popularity contest

Think Adams bigger worries are adding a Goalie and a Dman and a little size, more than his coaching situation right now.

And yet Phil Housley won’t be behind a bench next year after getting released as a defensive assistant

Well I'd like to that all that voted for me. It's nice to know absurd statement on this site would be something about hockey. I've read a lot of posts on this site and I believe you need to read more yourself.

If Adams is exploring a new coach he isn't doing his job right.

If Donnie is only good for development. Well his job ain't done.

I can agree to that. The question then is when does this shift from development stage. I dare to compare to the Leafs but this reminds me of the Dubas/Sheldon combo. They are in long term development

All I am saying is I’m going to wait more then one year to make conclusions on Donnie.

Team had a great final 20 games, let’s see what he cooks up next year.
