I see the same suspects are the ones out here defending Kevin Adams That in 3 to 5 years they will have maybe a really good player maybe….

Cause you know that helps when they already have 10 of those same guys.

When do we collectively get the pitchforks ready to hunt down Adams?

Do we have to wait until the season begins?

After 50 games?

The trade deadline?

Next offseason?

I’m doing my part to try to break the drought curse by deactivating this account come Monday.

I don’t think there is a Sabres fan out there who doesn’t think this is a playoff or bust year.

Aside from Ostlund, I don’t think anybody else in the pipeline has a similar playing style to Helenius.

I’m just as shocked and disappointed as anyone else they couldn’t close on Ehlers.

It’s ok to be upset about the lack of hockey trade and still acknowledge Helenius can be exactly what this team is lacking in the middle 6

At this point after 4 years of Adams inability to do anything but sign fringe NHL players our only hope is Lindy Ruff.

Nobody has paid the Price on players like Ehlers, Buchnevich and others yet.

Using the 2025 1st should be a must in any deal if necessary.

Using that pick sends a message, along with parting with one of the prized prospects.

2025 1st round pick top 5 protected plus Savoie for Ehlers and Mcgroarty.

Would that not get it done, or be very close to getting it done?

I may have been hallucinating but I believe the TV coverage compared Helenius to Olli

No, Olli is his Coach

Kevyn Adams: " ... we were aggressive and there weren't trades that we could get other teams to agree to. ... we're going to do everything we can to make our roster better."

Sounding more and more desperate as the walls close in

- Hank Balling



I don't think "desperate" is the word, or he would've overpaid for someone.

Inept? That might be the word you're looking for.

Never. The timeline continuously gets pushed back after the next excuse is made.
- ImThatGuy

You mean the goal posts have been moved as far as physically possible from one another without actually getting closer.

He shows his hand as soon as it’s dealt and tries to go all in on a bluff and is baffled when he is the first one off the table.

Terry struck out so much with trades/free agents, he choose to build completely through the draft, a 10 year plan.

He needed a front man with no other options, whose job it is to look like they are trying to make trades, sign FA’s but really it’s just a front.

Failure was planned, development continues, it’s only year 5 people. Trust the 0-13 billionaire.

Sounds like Adams had a bunch of Offers to move back again. Wonder what they were. Might have done it if it got me another 2nd+. Could have been more Ammo for something. Colton, Jeannot or something in that nature.

Great draft pick. Relax folks. Sabres have the whole summer to make a trade. Free Agency is also coming up. I'm bullish on the Sabres right now

75% of FA will know where there heading by July 1st. Leaves the Sabres with about 2% chance of landing anyone meaningful. Nobody wants to come to Buffalo and Adams isn't a good enough Salesman to change that. He really believes you have to want to be in Buffalo to play for the Sabres. Instead of selling them as you are huge 1st piece to us making a huge push and attracting other players. You can help us make Buffalo attractive.

He offered the 14th for:
McDavid, (Oilers retain 1/2)
MacKinnon, Avs take skinner no retention
Quinn Hughes (Van retains 1/2)

Can’t relax when your GM is the punching bag of the league. Sorry. I have zero confidence he can get the job done

If 75% of ufa’s are already lined up, perhaps Kev has a few that will change the complexion of the team. Can only hope.
