Apparently there is still 1 more Sabres trade in the Q.

I had a small Sliver of hope they might actually bring in a player.

Shame on me for even slightly believing that this GM could accomplish that.

Didn't bringing in BB count as brining in a player?? You know, the guy who had more assists in his first game with the Sabres than Girgenson and Johnson have combined this season

Thats all you need to know.

No because it took them trading their best offensive player this year to achieve that.

I wouldn't be shocked if they go the rest of the season with just 3 Assistants without anyone wearing the "C". And with 19 games left and the playoffs out of reach, it's probably fine.

If they give Girgensons the "C", it's a clear sign that they have no idea what winning hockey looks like, nor do they care to learn. Actually, I stand corrected. Giving Okposo the "C" was the clear sign. This would just be the sign that this team learned nothing.

2 guys have an A right?

I gave Adam's some time, but man he is really slow playing it. No reason this year shouldn't have been a busy year.

I assume his job is safe, but I would make him show it in the off-season. Some big, signature move. One of our current top 6 and a prospect for an all star. One of our LHD and a prospect for a legit RHD. Done with waiting

It’s been over two years and Kevin Adams failed to trade VO.

Is that because he couldn’t trade VO or he wasn’t allowed to retain salary when trying to trade VO?

He's actually someone who would fit in well. He can run a lot of short routes to pick up firsts and be a 3rd down monster like beasley was a few years ago. Respectable enough to take double coverage away from Diggs. could wait to take a WR in 2nd then (unless that's what we traded)

last 12 months his additions were

greenway
stillman
erik johnson
clifton
robinson

drafted small undersized forwards


then actually made a hockey trade when we are in essence eliminated for this season


did nothing to replace quinn for the first half of the season

kept 3 goalies on the roster to start the year, for who knows why

failed to bring kane home

failed to retain peca as an assistant

failed to upgrade any assistants

we get to watch meathead lean on jost for the rest of the season though and watch meathead ruin krebs

They'll give it to a third guy. It's a hockey culture thing.

We never retain, so I'm betting the latter. At this point in the season, 50% retained, his cap hit is what $1.5M? That's doable for a depth forward. Unfortunately Pegula is one of the cheapest owners despite being filthy rich.

Stop already, Girgensons has done nothing in all the years he's been here. He's such a great leader except through all his " TEACHINGS" the players stinks.

What don’t you get about a Quiet leader?

For being as close to the team as you are, how have you missed the most obvious thing?

Everyone raves about his commitment to the team

Correction: "Everyone" who doesn't have a clue about what playing on a winning team raves about his commitment to the team.

I am usually on your side Boss, but come on.... I could give to squirts about quiet leadership. That don't put W in the Colum. Okie and Gus should of been gone a LONG time ago. if you need "Dads" on the team you really need to fire your head coach.
