Not to make this a Sabres thread but yes they do. This comment goes for the Bills as well.
I don’t equate making wrong decisions with being a bad owner. He’s not the GM. His job is to give the GM whatever they ask for. From everything I’ve ever heard about Terry he gives the GM whatever he wants.
That said, he’s hired the wrong people for the Sabres. Obviously. They don’t know how to put together a hockey team.
No one will agree with me I’m sure, but he’ll get it right. First step is he has to stop caring about people liking Buffalo and worrying about will it work for the Buffalo region. Every single decision is based on “will it fit in Buffalo.” Even the Bills. Everything has to be a perfect fit for Buffalo.
Not every player, coach, or GM is going to love the City of Buffalo before getting here. But just get them here. They still might not like it once they’re here but they can’t worry about that. Winning tends to fix that.
