I've been following the Sabres since they joined the NHL. You can see it taking shape. Adams/Granato are the Sabres' Beane/McDermott. It just takes longer in the NHL because you are drafting kids.
Eh. He got it right eventually. Sabres are on their way up.
Same reason we hired Rex Ryan. Bad advice. Unlike the Bills it took 4-5 tries to get it right.
People laughed when the Sabres signed players to the minimum this year. But now that have a crap ton of cap space, a gazillion draft picks and the #1-rated group of prospects.
