What she's done for the on ice product, as owners and now as president, has been ziltch, since 2011.

Did we even acknowledge her as the owner the first 5-7 years, it was all Terry P and now she was the owner too? Interesting

Because they've swung and missed so many times. Even the worst slicer of the golf ball hits it down the middle every once in a while.

Aren't the pagulas 1 for 1 on hiring for the Bill's gm?

Whaley was a left over right?

Rex was attributed to russ brandon, dont let him leave the building ?

0 for 2 on the Sabres.

Gmtm and jbotts

So 1 straight drive every 3 holes - I'd take that 🙂

No, because she wasn't out in front of the cameras making herself the face of both franchises until the past couple of years.

If you are losing millions each year in a business are you going to have a say in it?

It was heavily quoted that a lot of their previous employees abused their trust. So, here we are.

next longest streak is the wings at 4 years


only 1 constants thing during this stretch, the owners

Oh come on with the semantics.

Regardless of who held the so called mantle, it was both of them. It always was.

No, your going to hire a hockey czar and pay them more

😟

It's their team, they spent their money - they should have their say.

No way, I buy the Sabres and hire someone else to oversee everything

Maybe but she hasn't been Kym, and hated until the last few months. She wasn't the prez and wasn't making Russ Brandon decisions and restructuring so semantics and facts matter.

They were definitely in an aggressive personality phase, with Murray and Ryan.

Facts do matter. And she and Terry have let that team and its fans down, by extension of the hires they made at GM and coach, and that is an absolute fact.

Ralph is now the hockey Czar that people wanted him to be he just doesn't have the title. The people who wanted Gallant, who didn't even get hired by the Devils, if Ralph was moved to the top and not as coach. If they read about Gallant they would know he is a pr*ck and doesn't get along with players or people well and he fizzled in San Jose. But he has a bit of a name but they do not wonder why he has been fired repeatedly recently.

I was actually referencing my own, but I realize I can hit many a nerve with that statement.

I don't remember hearing from her, or much about her, up until the Bills purchase and even aftet that she wasn't in the spotlight for the Sabres. It was Ted Black and Darcy for the Sabres up until the two were gone then it was Brandon until he was canned. Then she took over and we started hearing more from her and about her.

probably both


if you promote your best cashier to be a manager, he/she may be an ok manager but you can almost always find someone better if you look

That's not true at all .. if thats how you think I would never work for you

If I'm not mistaken, the Katz family did not finish dead last assuring mceichel? They failed at failing and were still assigned the #1 overall pick.

So I'm confused , the pegula's only have player input with ek9 and ror, but didn't for the eichel draft year?

Seems like your being selective.

- Boss34


This has nothing to do with player input, you said the pegulas are responsible for us having Eichel, I said it was gm that got us there. The pegulas most defiantly approved the tank but Murray got us to Eichel.
I’m not getting into the Kane stuff, ror was a bad trade most likely forced by ownspership due to bonus money, can I prove this? No, but seems a very likely conclusion.

So you are saying that your best cashier will almost always be the best manager you could hire? If that’s how you think, I feel bad for your shareholders.
