>>> Some strong quotes from Marek:

"Quit trying to make this work, it's not going to, and this team is not going anywhere, and all you're going to do is wreck this goalie."

"I don't know that there's another general manager that would let this continue to happen."

"I've had conversations with other teams about 'What are they doing with Devon Levi? What are they thinking? They're not going through any sort of traditional development model' "

"You know who goes right from college to the NHL and stays there? Nobody. Nobody does that, not at that position."

Close, but no.

It's so they can overpay him and then almost immediately after, begin playing him on the 3rd line with reduced minutes.

It is the Sabres way.

Maybe they should have approached him and asked ?
Hey you played for a Winning Organization, how did they do it.

Hey since I know he's Stalking!
Fitz wanted me tell a few of you he misses you a lot, and that he can come back but chooses not to. Because of all the Love he felt here.
I told them Hi for you Fitz, know you don't have to come back and feel all the Love.

They love doing the following:

- Play given player in an elevated role
- Said player production goes up noticeably
- Sign said player to a larger contract due to the inflated production as a result of the elevated role
- Immediately reduce the minutes of said player in a reduced role the season following the inflated contract signing
- Wonder why the player is having trouble producing like they did when they were in the elevated role

No consistency to the lineup, like some of the things you mention above. Granato is almost becoming as bad as Blysma was at rotating players between lines. Set your lines and let them play, your bottom 3 should be the only ones your juggling right know.

Tell him I still regularly sit outside of his house in a vehicle, follow him around town and generally stalk his entire neighborhood, friends, family and businesses.

I have his phone numbers, addresses and had a long, nice, productive conversation with the BPD over his messages telling me to kill myself.

Bet. I had to have people talk me down, some of them business owners themselves in Buffalo. I was 100% going to doxx him and a few others on social media.

The one dude might have actually killed himself if I had doxxed him with all the nasty things I know about him, specifically committing a hate crime that got him expelled from high school, date-raping multiple women and having sex with a 14-year old.

But yeah, that fat little closet homo with a fedora can honestly keep looking over his shoulder, I went specifically around Allentown finding out who he is, all his social media, pictures, ffs, stories of him coming onto men every single time he gets drunk.

The bolded is 100% true and not an attack on homosexuals in any way. The guy is an aggressive creep so far in the closet he’s in Narnia.

Not mad at you

Just sick of hearing so many repeat how great these contracts are when they are some of the absolute worst in the NHL.

Dahlin at $11m is a joke. He isn’t even a top-5 defenseman and to call him top-10 right now is a reach.

Power at $8m when he has done literally nothing to justify it. Literally nothing.

Thompson at $7 for one season where he was a 60-point player - and no one expected 45/45/90 from him then and I don’t again.

Cozens at $7m for one 60-point season.

Samuelsson at $4m to be constantly injured and suck.

Jost, Bryson and Comrie all over $1m just to be waived because they suck.

Okposo, Girgensons extended despite neither producing at a pace to justify it, or bringing a winning mentality or anything other than not being a defensive black hole like:

Olofsson at $4.5 to be scratched and suck but sometimes he scores a few goals?

Clifton at $3.3 to blow chunks?

Which contract is an actual value?

It’s legitimately insane to say any contract Adams has given is in any way shape or form a “value” let alone what the player actually merited at the time…

Especially that Samuelsson contract, like what the honest hell did that guy do to deserve that? The Ristolainen contract all over again.

It’s all just bad. All of it. I can’t say Adams has done one good thing at his job.

What the hell has he accomplished?

I’m more curious about where Belichick lands.
If the patriots were smart, a coach who loves offense, former offensive coordinator.

None are great. Some were necessary. Unfortunately, the agents held all the power, No one wants to come here and Adams could not afford to lose any of the big guys so he caved and overpaid.
I don’t like it, but I get it.
Worst contract is Power IMO. Then Cozens

The Power contract is when I actually checked out. It was asinine and ludicrous.

He is Oprah with contracts. Everybody gets a contract!

Taking Quinn out of this discussion due to the severity of his injury… Cozens and Thompson were terrible before their injuries. Coming off career highs and heightened expectations… they failed miserably… as did Tuch and most every player on this team outside of Benson and maybe Skinner and Casey
- Cory1


Cozens had 7pts in his first 11 games, he wasn't failing miserably. And Tage has a history of starting off years slower, he had no goals in his first 7 games last year and still made 94. Tuch is injured and playing injured...

Buffalo News Headline this morning:

"Alex Tuch's leadership earned the Sabres winger the 'honor' of alternate captain"

lol


That's like working your way up to assistant manager at a store scheduled to close next month.
