Way he makes it sound, krebs was sitting on that offer he signed for a while. For whatever reason.
- TheSabresTaco

Because he had nowhere else to go.

Kevyn confirmed he doesn't have any restrictions on spending, he's just incompetent and doesn't understand how to run a team

Sounds like a scared GM

Sabres announceme Dahlin won't return to practice

Lehner the year after he got out of Buffalo won the Bill Masterton and William M Jennings trophies

Risto - touché his minus’ dropped to single digits at least lol
- washedup20

Lehner took a bit longer to collapse than 1 season, but it still happened. There were some who wanted to resign him, me included, and it would have been a bad bet given the alcoholism.

And yeah, I still can't believe Philly gave him that extension.

I liked all their games, Rosen underwhelmed. I needed to see more from him, even if that was 200' game and not so much on the score sheet.

No one said NHL games like Kulich. Now let's see if he carries it through camp. Last year he was average at the tournament and invisible in camp. Really hoping he knocks out Greenway.
- TheSabresTaco

I'm hopeful with Kulich, always have been. Kid is a game. I dk if he's the top6 forward we're hoping for, but is definitely the type of prospect you want banging on the door for a job. He looks much more defensively responsible so far this year.

*Inserts the "We Suck Again" meme*

Edit*

He had more points the year after he left the organization than any point during his tenure in Buffalo:

He never played in the NHL after leaving buffalo

there was so much hype for him

the level I have not seen since "Irish" Terry Conklin was set to fight James "The Grim Reaper" Roper and both ended in a similar fashion

- Hank Balling

I'm still going through the playback but, yeah. Nothing new or interesting.

Brought up the future contract excuse to not fill out the cap. Which has some merit, but not enough. He's afraid to pick up short term UFAs via trade.
- TheSabresTaco

Year 4 of that one? May be a record.

Vegas introduced Lehner to snakes, it was all downhill from there.

The Risto extension was from the GM that got fired, right? Who drafted Nolan Patrick over Cale Makar

clueless

last summer was the perfect time to use that cap space for 1 year deals while other teams were strapped

we overpay jost, johnson,okposo, girgens with that space


follow it up again by overpaying joker and zucker on 1 year deals this past summer
- homiedclown

He could have done 3-4 year deals when he started using that excuse.

Lehner was buying the snake farm in 2017

under Terry's watch

- Lunaion

He has nothing but excuses. Everything he says is a contradiction of what he does

Too many examples of him not being able to handle the job he was given and it is setting this franchise back year after year

I wish someone in the media would call him out with the facts when he contradicts himself. Then again they couldn't even get the people asking questions a (frank)ing microphone on the opening year presser

Adams is an existential threat to the Buffalo Sabres!

I think there's a flip side here. They are an internal cap team and he knows he can't admit it.

it's refreshing to hear a legit coach interview after a game/practice


we probably have not had this since 2013

If boss got that autograph from skunk he could’ve traded that straight up for this.

Its not just about the money but why would lindy come here if every resource wasn't available to him? Is that why he said no and adams had to beg him?

Either way there is plenty to go after adams about concerning roster construction. Why cant anyone press him on his depth comment? He openly talked about adding to the top of the forward group, didn't, then went on today saying how young players will take steps which is a big part of what got us here in the first place

Its a joke

I think you answered your own question. It's a joke because our GM is full of it. For all we know he made assurances to Lindy that they could spend to the cap and is currently hitting him with the same excuses.

Don't think Lindy had options, if he wanted to continue coaching.
