Description

I generally like Donnie. He brought us from utter laughingstock to mediocre but I don’t think he’s the guy from here.

Adams is, was, and always has been WAY over his skis in this role. All of our best players were Botterill acquisitions or lesser parts for bigger deals. He needs to go even more.

Need someone with less attachment to prospects, and PHI is a perfect trading partner.

I feel like Frost is just a worse Mittelstadt, who is also going to get paid big time in a year. Why would Buffalo do this, especially at that price?

He’s really good! Perfect 2C/3C.
What do you think the price would be?

he's incredibly streaky and probably tops out at a 60 point center in his best years I'd look else where sabres IMO need to find a balance last year it was all offense no defense this year they gave up so much of that offense to play mediocre D

Adams is a YES man.

A puppet.

Pegula's love him.

He's probably not going anywhere.

Granato likely gets axed.

But will the Pegula's be willing to spend big money on a good head coach? 🙄
