I figure that our real window (we look to be a dangerous team in the playoffs) starts in 2 - 3 years. I fully believe that we are on the right path and I like everything about where we are at now. So yeah, I am. - Slump Buster
Is Adams still the GM if the Sabres are still not a playoff team in 2 to 3 seasons? |

If he can demonstrate some sort of “growth”, I’d say yes. But after that, patience might begin to fade a little and he could feel some pressure get better in the standings, not just vibes. |

President isn't GM, so I'll say no.

Yes because we are back to the days where the Sabres prospect pool is more important than actual season results. |

if it's spring 2025 and the sabres are not a playoff team, he is no longer the GM.

Well then you're making a trade. Because right now you have 13 forwards once VO signs when you include JQ and JJP
Clearly you can bench or exorcise Bjork but there's no one else you'd sit. They probably need a 4C. So now you have 14 forwards. Which one of the 12 sits? None of them make any sense to bench. - TheSabresTaco
No you don’t make Quinn and jj earn a spot on the team not just hand it to them ! Sign a few free agents and make them EARN it!! |

Who's rushing anything, adding 1 or 2 players could move this teams needle. Competition is a good thing. And if the prospect is good enough, you find a spot, or it gives you more usable assets - Buff36
I do not understand how adding someone like Andrew Copp on a 4 year deal at $6M per to help support the young players as a 2nd line Center or winger blocks, stops, or holds up the Sabres chances of being a better team both short and long term. |

You're not sitting Kyle. You're not sitting Zemgus. You know they're playing. Asplund made everyone he played with better. You're not sitting anyone on the top line, you're not sitting anyone drafted 2017 and beyond. Where's the answer?
I understand getting someone as insurance, but let's say you sign Marchment to a three year deal. All of these same forwards are here in 23 except Bjork. Now you have Savoie knocking. Seriously, where's the room in the top 6, or top 9? - TheSabresTaco
You have injuries TURKEY!! |

Why would he come here? - RichardRoma
He has two cups I believe already. On a short term deal no other team can outbid us. Make as much money as you can before you retire.
Saying that, it does not seem like Adam’s plan |

I can't tell you that, because I think it would move the needle. Seems like are needle is stuck at 15%, and stagnant because there's next year or 2yrs from now. |

Feels like actual playoff experience, even if it were only one round, or hell, just being in a real playoff chase, would do wonders for all the young players. |

Take this whatever way you want:
Apologies for being a grumpy old man sometimes, seen a lot of poopty hockey lately. I really do like what the Sabres are doing, stocking the shelves like so many have called for here. And get there a young team and still have ? that need to be answered with such. But to me with who was available for trade and some of the low prices paid, it was a perfect year for the Sabres to get a very good young player, especially with all the assets the Sabres had available. Yes Adams can still add, and hopefully he gets something that can help us grow as a team. Good Hockey teams don't stop adding Good talent because there afraid to block someone. That's what makes them good, they just add more good Hockey players, gives you more usable assets when you need them. It was a good year to jump in the game just a bit, we shall see what happens but I do really like the growth of the players and everyone knows what I think of Donnie. I just want to see some Life, with what has happened so far, it just seems like "Groundhog Day" - Buff36

Yes, because it is a process. Just look at Colorado - this stuff can take a while. They had the same coach and GM through a lot of losing seasons.
Also, look at the last set of coaches and gm's that came through here. I am sure the Pegulas don't want to go through that again.

I totally agree 39, it is the perfect year to jump in the game, even just a little bit and it seems like its already gone. I hope Adams surprises me, my confidence in this happening is hanging |

Just scratch 3 nhl forwards each game, that would be a great look. Borderline free agents will be lining up |

Wise move. Does right by him and he'll do right by them if he stays. |
