I was wondering why Adams did not try to trade Okposo and Girgs if he wasn’t going to make a serious run at playoffs. Yzerman seems to trade people out and improve your team without killing your growth. - sabrebuzz
Vibes. Can’t kill the vibes. |

We’re eventually going to be really good. Not a single person disputes this.
Some of us don’t think it needs to take 5 years.
We’re on a trajectory this year towards your doomsday scenario. Picking 12th. Not good enough, not tanking enough. I’m just amazed how you’ve forgotten one of your biggest philosophies - sbroads24
I haven’t.
The Sabres aren’t bad enough to tank, and there were no moves to make to have them be a cup contender this year.
Being in no mans land is the worst place to be in, but at least they were sensible enough to not rush their inevitable cup window.

The Vancouver Canuck’s of last year agree.
You just automatically get better and don’t have to tear it down a year after missing tha playoffs by one game. - ImThatGuy
Ok and what did winning the presidents trophy do for Florida this year ?
Someone forgot to tell New Jersey that because they finished bottom 5 last year they were supposed to suck |

Ah so your point is prior yers success means absolutely nothing and nothing the Sabres “vibe” this year will matter next year.

Yes please don’t tell Adams that you’re allowed to make a 20+ point jump in standings points from one year to the next. Because I think based on his actions, he doesn’t think that’s legal |

This late season collapse might take Dahlin out of the running to be a Norris candidate
That’s a shame
Also means Comrie might not get Vezina. |

Culture is a load of crap and always has been.
Cup winning teams have crappy cultures too but nobody cares cause they win.
I have never disagreed with you or Sbroads that Adams has to make moves.
Only disagreed with the timing and that whether or not we made the playoffs this year was the end of the world.
There is no correlation from one year to the next as you mentioned |

Agreed. Culture is a byproduct of talent.
Only in very rare circumstances does it go to poop if you have the talent. |

We are a few months away from becoming best friends.
There is no excuse to not make the playoffs next year, if they don’t go for it then forsure they are incompetent.
Tage and Cozens are locked up.
We know what we have with Tuch and Skinner.
Quinn is looking like legitimate top 6 forward and Peterka projects as a solid middle 6 guy.
Dahlin is a top 3 d-man in the league on the last year of his deal, and Owen Power looks the part despite hitting the rookie wall.
It’s obvious that we need a 1A goalie and top 4 d-man, now go get it |

I think they need another solid forward to at least bridge Kulich, Savoie etc.
If they’re trying to win they can’t rely on rookies |

Didn't hear Oh Canada, but she (frank)ed the Star Spangled Banner up. We need Doug Allen back in the worst way. - lacaprup
I heard he did the unforgivable act of refusing the jab. Guess that means he can’t sing any more. Probably just a rumor that he lost his voice. |

They need another top 6 winger. Olofsson can go. |

Jason Botterill was a good GM that just completely screwed the pooch on his HC hire.

Idk whether he was actually good, but I think those years were the years the Pegula’s had way too much influence/interference and it hindered a lot |

Good chunk of the current day roster is his.
Montour popped off this year.
As bad as Joker is he’s definitely better than Alex Nylander.
He spent mid round picks on depth like a drunken sailor and didn’t sign Hagel but he sure as heck isn’t the worst Sabres GM of all time as Sabres Twitter made him out to be |

Are you really expecting that many moves? I'm hoping for 1 significant trade, and that may be asking for too much.
If they aren't relying on rookies next year, then they are the following year.

No I’m not expecting it.
I’m expecting a big move at goalie. And a few underwhelming Hinostroza/Lyubushkin moves |
