Blame Delaware North for the bad food.

Never ever eat at the arena. It’s gross

Yeah his talent is off the charts. If his attitude is on track. He will be good.

I honestly think that going to the Bears didn’t help him with Justin Fields.

And the dolphins last year……. Based on hardknocks. Don’t seem like the best place to fix your imagine or grow up.

I think he does well here.

Agreed

The lack of interest in playing/living in buffalo still wrings true though.

Would any top coach really consider Buffalo?

They need to find a way to start hot and win at home

It's a fair question. Sounds like they may have spoken to Berube. Maybe he told them he wanted explore all his options first and that spooked them.

Doesn't feel like JB had this problem. Babcock used them, but probably good not ending up with him. Is some of this because of Kev?

Terry and Adams ran Eichel through the mud.....they poured gasoline onto the narrative that Buffalo was a bad city to live in, too the Sabres are a horrible organization as well....top3GM.

You can blame Eichel if you want, the front office got the worst of it though.

Ruff
Berube
And Appert

“Well you are a Idiot”

Lol

Anyone who plays in Buffalo must be thinking they'll get a long term contract for saying they want to be here, or get traded to a contender because Adams is so desperate to remove the bad place to play narrative he gives in to all their demands.

I feel the same way. I'm sure it's effecting players, might impact coaches as well.

That's my point. 1 guy wasn't a real candidate and the other guy might have told them right away they weren't his top choice.

If the Vikings can do this.

Can the bills get rid of the ugly red uniform and bring back the 90s Bills uniform?
- Sabretooth9

I agree about the red jerseys and pants, just doesn’t look right to me. But, I hated the 90’s unis, too. They were poopty.

Do they look that good in person? I just bought the poor man's nachos when I was there.

Idk, probably similar to the BK whopper pictured on TV ads, and the Whopper you actually get at BK

Need a fallback option. Bet they were scared of losing the game of coaching musical chairs.

Zito certainly doesn’t share Tallon’s “we want the bulk of the team to be comprised of our own developed draft picks”

Only 3 current Panthers were drafted by FL (a 1oa, a 2oa, and a 12oa) the rest were added thru trades or UFA.

https://x.com/NHLNetwork/...-oilers.2968061%2Fpage-16

Using only your own draft picks approach is flawed just because of the time involved to develop those draft picks. Your earliest picks would be old and declining in play before you had a complete team. It would be a never ending cycle of almost good enough.

Couldn't threaten Donnie and had to keep Ellis on the bench. That commitment worked out great.
