It'll be interesting to see what the Sabres do in the coming weeks as well as what other teams do. I am unaware of any other teams that have taken these types of measures yet. The coyotes fired 4 people but they immediately began searching for replacements.
only six teams really can though right now. I get the sneaking suspicion that there’s more to come around the sports world. While this may in fact be unprecedented, everything we’ve seen in the past three months has been as well. And we’re not coming out of those woods anytime soon. -

OK, so who’s available and why would they want to come here?And isn’t Reinhart and Dahlin soon due for a new contract?
Im not one to dive into a list of possibly available players, but someone would come here for the same reason they sign anywhere... $$$Reinhart will get a new deal this summer. Dahlin can, but that wouldn’t go into effect until 2011-2012. His cap figure and salary are locked in for next season.

Why is this off-season the best for a GM to put his stamp on the team?Who is available outside of this organization that can be acquired to make that much of a difference?
I’m just asking because I don’t know.
Long story short, there are a lot of open roster spots and plenty of cap space to fill them. It’s not the amount of space that you can go on a crazy shopping spree, but it’s more than enough to put together a decent roster if done properly. -

Hope you’re right. But why fire his whole staff then?
It makes no sense to me. Gord Dineen did a good job filling in for Taylor.
All I can think is that maybe Kevyn Adams has someone in mind for the job. His area of expertise has been in player development.
or it was a cost cutting move, but I’m not sure if AHL coaching contract are guaranteed like NHL contract are. If they are then it wouldn’t make much sense to fire him to save $$.
I don’t really know how the contracts work, whether or not it can be converted into an NHL deal. If he needs a new contract to be in the NHL full time, they need to terminate the old one anyway (if it had any term remaining after this year). I think we need to just let the dust settle a bit on this one. My guess is that some of the people fired will be back when the season rolls around. -

Why in the world would they fire Chris Taylor?
Im very anxious to see how these positions are filled, if they are filled at all.
Does Tom Golisano want to buy the team back...?
I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor winds up on the NHL staff instead. That firing really feels like a formality in all of this.

I like Krueger a lot but would ask him why did he take Skinner off the Eichel line where he was awesome.
Amen to that. This is the biggest red flag I have with Krueger. I don't blame him for trying, but once it failed, he should have adjusted.

You can't lose it if it's already lost. I think the board needs to start listing birthday's again so Mead can be kept busy with his old happy birthday PMs.

Adams assistant GM hire(s) are going to be extremely important. I’m really hoping they can find someone with lots of experience.
Would anyone even recognize experience in the assistant GM role? I know I couldn't tell you anyone in that role anywhere along the league. Hell, I don't even know if we had anyone in that position prior to the current group. I only know of Greeley because I used to watch him play back in his college days.

What I would like to know is if Kevyn Adams is the temporary acting GM or if another GM will be sought?
And then there's Greeley who was passed over for Adams. He was getting interviews over the last couple years and it sounded like he was and up and comer. Is he going to be out too?

WTF Kevyn Adams? Can someone who knows him better make me feel ok about that?
Might just be interim, but he would be another first time GM right?
They haven't used the interim label on this just yet, but it has to be a transitional thing. It makes me wonder if they're just playing out that one year left on Botterill's contract.

Isn’t that the point?I do hope there's a little more to it than just watching a pair of 50 somethings playing those roles again. That alone does look like it will have some fun awkwardness to it, but it does need a little more.

Give Steve Downie a call?
Seriously though, if they could ever convince McDavid or Crosby to get onboard with the organization, that's when the hockey world really opens their eyes.

I hope they're able to add a few more people to that executive committee. Until people start working together, the progress will be stunted.

When you combine this with the fact that he was a late round draft pick and therefore he makes considerably less than many of his counterparts .. it is excellent to see.
Starting QB for the Dallas Cowboys? He's swimming in endorsement money. That said, it's a good move and I don't mean to take anything away from that.

There is no designed playoff system that would have satisfied everyone. The proposed system is as fair as any other proposed system.
I understand why some Buffalo fans believe that they were shortchanged. I'm not one of them. Quite the contrary. From a point standpoint the Sabres undeniably underperformed. There was one four game western road trip where they came away with zero points. If you can't eke out a point or two on an extended road trip then you don't deserve a playoff spot. But that wasn't the worst of our uninspired play in the season. There was a 10 game or so homestand that included some weak teams. The results were less than mediocre. My point is that we had our chances to put ourselves in a good position for a serious playoff run, yet we didn't seize the opportunity. That's on us!
I wonder how they're splitting up the revenue from this whole thing. I'd imagine they're splitting it evenly between all 31 because it would be a tough pill to swallow for those 7 teams to lose the remainder of their season and then get nothing back at the end. All those players are going to get their portion, so the teams will need it too, particularly the Ottawas of the world who aren't exactly swimming in cash lately.

I had a guy out at the house today doing a termite inspection and a mockingbird attacked him. Now on top of being a-holes, I also think they're racist.

He was only let go to protect Rick Jeanneret because any combination of “Ristolainen to Ruotsalainen or Ruotsalainen to Ristolainen” was a stroke risk during RJ’s play by play call.
We might as well throw Asplund and Dahlin into that call too. Three Rasmuses, two Ristos, all we need is one extra forward to round out the collection. Maybe we can throw RJ a bone and throw CJ Smith out there with them.

Give me your three top movie posters you would hang in a movie room

This one is tough. I don't know if I could throw together a list and there's plenty of good stuff in here already. Scrolling through random posters online, I do have to say that the one from The 40 Year Old Virgin is pretty hilarious.
