@Inside1Buffalo@bps21 I’m convinced you are GMKA’s burner. Baffling that we promoted a guy in charge of scheduling rink time at the HarborCenter to GM, and his zero playoff appearances showed.
@Inside1Buffalo@bps21 That same roster played at a playoff level once they realized there was an adult in the room. Beta males aren’t meant to lead - doesn’t make GMKA a bad guy.
@Inside1Buffalo@bps21 Playoff streak ended with Jarmo, the only fact that matters and it wasn’t a coincidence. I’m glad we finally have a GM who understands accountability and doesn’t make palm tree excuses for not getting deals done.
@Inside1Buffalo@bps21 Ya you must be a Rhoads Scholar. Clearly you have a lack of understanding of culture/leadership - and Conservative GMKA, who’s unquestionably a beta male - failed to get the team to the playoffs. And that inconvenient fact is indisputable.
You might be the only person in the planet who thinks Conservative GMKA is an elite GM. And my statement stands that those players were the consensus BPAs when we drafted. He didn’t get results - and Jarmo does as evidenced by the chat he had with the team where he said there will finally be accountability.
@Inside1Buffalo@bps21 Dahlin, OP were obvious #1 picks. Benson, Helenius, Kulich, etc. were also the obvious BPA when the Sabres picked. Other than Peterka, what picks were selected that a normal person with the Craig Button board couldn’t have done?
You fail to address the big get of Riley Stillman!
Dahlin was on the team for years prior and no playoffs. Getting only Riley Stillman at the trade deadline a few years ago was inexcusable. GMKA got that job in the nepotistic NHL because he was a yes man in Buffalo. The Jacobs family hooking it up. Want to bet he’ll never be a GM again? He was incompetent.
