I mean, is it a surprise? I know they said they'd keep him, but c'mon, it's the Sabres, can they even be trusted?

The Sabres just clean house every few years and start again, or so it seems? Next.........

It's the old rinse/repeat from the Sabres, since 2013 it's been nothing but turnover and they've basically lost the fan base.

I do think Krueger is a very intelligent guy and he belongs in the organization, I just hope that Adams is the second half of the pair needed this time.

Given that this afternoon - the Pegulas have gutted the entire hockey operations department, not likely to improve things, but to save money... They are quickly rising on the scale of worst owners in the NHL, finding a way to compete with Eugene Melnyk

The Sabres are quickly becoming the red-headed stepchild of the family sports empire - after the Bills and Penn State Athletics...

Out of all the turnover the Sabres have seen over the last however many years it's been since they made the playoffs, the one constant has been the owners... Coincidence?

Could Jack Eichel force a trade at some point? He's under contract for forever, but he appears to be deeply unhappy there.

Guessing if things don't royally change next year Eichel holds out.

Can we combine Ottawa and Buffalo and make a somewhat decent team and have them stay in Buffalo? Then open up two more expansion spots and put one in Quebec to offset another Canadian team leaving, and one more in Portland or KC?

Honestly I could get behind that. As long as the upper management from both teams is gone.

My heart goes out to those Sabres fans right now.

You're a Leafs fan so I am sure they send the sympathies right back Aaron! Haha

A line of Skinner/Olofsson - Eichel - B. Tkachuk would be fun to watch.

Guess they can always hire Lindy Ruff back?
