New Jersey had strong underlyings but couldn’t get a save. It was like a repeat of their 2021/2022 season.

Detroit had a horseshoe the size of the state of Michigan up their ass and scored at an unsustainable rate that even would have made last years Sabres team blush.

Difference between the Sabres and Red Wings, is that Yzerman blew his load in free agency in the trade market to be extremely mid while we are wondering if Adams even has a telephone line (prior to the Byram trade).

I take Buffalo, Ottawa, and heck even Montreal potentially depending on how the lotto balls fall over Detroit the next few years.

And Detroit probably makes the playoffs this year if Husso plays more than what 15 games. You can say he blew his load, but injuries and a horrendous Late February and March collapse killed them. They still make the playoffs with better injury luck, just like NJ might have.

I'd like Gallant. He knows how to win. But he's a players coach, yes? Maybe not what this group needs. But Tuch loved him. Said he held him accountable.

I'm warming to the idea that Homie had regarding Dean Evason. He had three really good years in Minnesota before getting fired about twenty games in during the 4th. Offensive minded coach.

Berube had a couple really good years and the rest were meh, but obviously has that Cup win, and is a demanding coach.

Jay Woodcroft might be a candidate.

Lindy will always hold a special place, but let's try something new, please.

Has never made it past the 1st round. NHL and AHL.

The devils this year had a long laundry list of injuries and no goaltending.

Hard to blame Lindy

- Sabretooth9

8 years coaching after he parted ways with the sabres

2 playoff series wins


I want more than a playoff series win every 4 years

I like lindy and would love nothing more then making him president of sabres ops


but I want a different coach as it usually does not last long the second time around

Also are we blatantly ignoring Philly pulling the goalie with 3 minutes left in a tie game last night?

If playoff success is what YOU'RE basing your hire on, Then YOU want Berube. No one else is qualified.

What goal posts did I move ?

The Sabres missed the playoffs, I was wrong.

I admit when I’m wrong and face the music, I can’t help that I shoot nearly perfect from the floor and that I’m hardly wrong

- Swedish_Jesus

To spare you the embarrassment, I won't list all the stuff you've been dead wrong about as frankly, no one should care.

Remember how supa awesome Vic Fangio was gonna be for Miami?

There were several, and they know who they are.

Like I said before, I can’t stand hypocrites.

The young, dumb, retard, whack job conspiracy theorist time and time again comes on here and tells you what’s going to happen months in advance, gets called an idiot, then when it’s time to pay the piper there are crickets.

Only reason why I keep coming back. It’s like a terrible comedy movie that’s so bad it happens to be good.

Not to mention the free financial advice and what’s going on around the world.

Gallant, Berube, are my top choices. McLellan maybe. Ruff is meh to me, wouldnt hate it. Whomever it is better get to pick their staff. D coach, goalie coach, the whole 9.

Locking up a player through the entirety of his 20’s paying him second pair money today that will soon be third pairing money as he enters his prime is not something I was ever prepared for from a Sabres GM.

We are on the right path.

Nailed that Samuelsson contract, eh Steph Curry?

Yep.

I'm leaning on the examples of midseason coaching changes can totally 180 a team. Fortunately the next guy gets several months.

- TheSabresTaco


Adams said they didn't change their system at all this past season...how do you think this team will adjust to a new system, how long do you give them to learn it?

Would you rather have one more year of Sam Reinhart or Jiri Kulich and Devon Levi for the next several years ?

How’s that win now trade working out for Florida ?

They are already talking about moving Reinhart, maybe Buffalo brings him back for a second in the offseason.

The irony

- Swedish_Jesus



Yeah Florida is definitely regretting those win now trades lmao.

Dude you're money on here baby

Kevyn's going to demand that his coach installs a rush based system. but that question is impossible to answer.

1 more than the Dean.

They both have something in common though, both have lost in round 1 with their best player being Kevin Fiala..

I don’t mean to single you out here, but again, you and others act like the Sabres are guaranteed a playoff spot next season for some reason.

They aren’t. They need to make moves to get there. It’s not just automatically happening.

Adams has put a ton of pressure on this offseason

- sbroads24



And then here I am. Actually right.
