I would like to congratulate President Terry Pegula on the longest playoff drought in NHL history, a record which was previously held by Terry Pegula's 2022-23 Buffalo Sabres. Keep making history, Terry.
- Hank Balling

No one in the history of this franchise is more qualified to be President of Hockey Operations than Lindy Ruff.


If Terry has any sense (cents) he will make that happen.
- Hank Balling

Kelly is training to be the next team president

it takes time

I mean with Terry don’t you just have to sit him down and feed him fruit loops ?

Guy is the king jamoke.

what kills me is the lack of adjustments by the gm to improve this roster when clearly they were lacking things in november when the season could have been saved

nothing worst then punting the season each Jan

if there is no change after next saturday, when they have a long break, there will be no change

Want them buying or selling?

Who do you put more of the blame on this season?
- Lunaion

It’s gotta be coaching imo

Seems like a lot of talent and not enough results

Clearly 1/3 of the lineup should be flipped this offseason

The players like power and cozens very disappointing

Tage is playing average , he should be a top 10 nhl center

Want them buying or selling?
- Lunaion

Preferably both.

Selling off UFA’s, looking to make hockey trades for players to help long term.

Tampa are the Kings of Interference

Biron showed it in a post-game montages.

Holding everywhere.

They do it to a degree that they challenge the refs to call it, which of course they almost never do.

I'd just like someone who uses the analytics staff they built. It's not KA/Donnie, but it's also not TM.
- Lunaion

Most disappointing (but expected) realization about this season was when Granato indicated what he really thought about analytics.

The loyalty to the insurance salesman behind the bench will be the death of him.
- Swedish_Jesus

His ineptitude as a GM is plenty to warrant being fired.

I’m watching several coaches this year do a lot more with less.

Special teams are awful and the coach is trying to fit a square peg into a round hole at 5v5.

Injury luck doesn’t help matters, and yes the roster is lacking, but common the entire Atlantic is incredibly mid this year.

Coaching is definitely the #1 issue with this organization and I wouldn’t say firing Donnie is a scapegoat move in the slightest

Doesn't have to take every faceoff?

They think moving Greenway to Center and Casey to wing is a good move?

They have plenty of Centers, but moving Greenway to Center is a good idea?

What the (frank) are they even thinking?!

>>> I really like Jordan Greenway.

He's been great on the PK. Shutdown defender. But he's not a center. Not sure why they've tried that the past few weeks. Reminds me of Marcus Johansson getting move to the middle in '19-20. Just play the guy where he's comfortable.

>>> @nurse716 We’ve been asking. They like his potential there. Big guy. Sees the ice well. Doesn’t have to take every faceoff. I don’t agree that it’s a fit.

https://fxtwitter.com/LLy...kQ6AkM-aKabeqQ1_l5cQ&s=19

>>> @andrewmaconx Just doesn't make any sense. He's not a center. And, last I checked, they actually have quite a bit of talent down the middle in this organization.

It's like someone is telling someone to F@ck Off. I mean some of this stuff we are seeing done and with players usage wouldn't actually be done on purpose would it. I mean there's people on this board that could put a better lineup together.

This one was done before December ended

Aggressive, pressure on the puck in each zone. Man who would have thought this might work.

You just know that Adams is telling Terry:

“We played offense last season…this season we played defense….next season we put them both together!”

Terry immediately hands Adams another raise and extension.

I thought every decision made was a collective one?

Can't imagine everyone agrees with a bunch of the lineup decisions.

The continued pairing of Dahlin and Samuelsson feels like a primary example of Meatballs flat out ignoring the numbers.

Why bring in some of the best Analytical Guys in the league when your Coach blatantly comes out and basically says he throws the reports in the garbage. I personally would like to see Ventura made GM.

And a new coach then, right?

Cannot have a coach ignore the data if the teams management is based on a foundation of data analysis.

I’d be shocked if they didn’t draft a d-man this year.

Feel like 6 maybe 7 will go in the top 15 picks this year.

Unless they get Celebrini of course
