No They should stop

@@Dhaliwal03187 bruins fans

i dont know how i ended up here and i agree. i wish the wings would do something like this.

1000% agree wish the Avs would do something like this

This was so awesome to watch. I'm not even a Taylor Hall fan.

😅

I think Kim showed off her business acumen in the meeting. The fact that the hockey guy (Adams) asked her what to text the agent back and was reminded by the owner to refer to him as Hallsy shows she knows what she is doing. Not sure about Terry.

They edited the conversation. It's not clear how he responded to Kim.

@@johncohle8331 probably didn’t even respond was like who the f is this. I’m shocked he signed here after talking to her

He does not appear to be in over his head

@Dan Evertt How?

@Dan Evertt wow. So you were Evan’s boss the first year it was just Fantasy Island?

@Dan Evertt I was there for only the first summer when Apex fully took over. I put in my two weeks around the middle to end of June.

He deff used the right words under the pressure of the owners being in front of him however I don’t think Kim should have been involved in the conversation with hall. Such a high chance of jeopardizing the opportunity to sign the guy

Except the Sabers are a fairly weathly Org. minus the Pandemic. Not really an underdog for contract finances, but certainly on talent tier lists.

@@danieldosso2455 I just meant the behind the scenes vibe of managing organizations, trading and signing players.

But where everything they do backfires tremendously

Come on, Sabres fans don't need you to pile on right now. Knowing they won't get better is bad enough, don't rub it in

Welp

@@domenickcapannola9729 Welp

Joseph F I mean he’s right. Don’t need to be a Toronto fan to see that...

Lol no kidding

I mean I still see Tampa , Boston , Toronto still better teams . So Buffalos fighting with Florida an up and coming Ottawa team and the metro teams for a wild card spot

great comment. Buffalo address the exact opposite of their team needs. Goaltending is atrocious, Defense has zero NHL-ready depth, and their bottom 6 forward group is worst then Ottawa. Hall is not what you need, you already have a star lol

What is he supposed to say oh were getting a former mvp LETS not get a top 10 pick this year?

I dont think it was doubts in him personally, it was more that the pegulas gutted their staff a week or two after saying they had full confidence in that staff. Then hired a first time gm from within. It just all looked like they were trying to be cheap and now really knowing what they were doing. It does appear to be off to a great start tho

@@kevinborchers3522 they probably just felt like blowing up the front office as opposed to the team; which can work when pulled off in this manner.

Listening to Terry say that just shows how terrible their judgment and assessment of the organization is. People like to give Adams credit for brining in Hall+Staal, and they did look good on paper, but what the hell was he thinking when it comes to D and Goaltending? The same exact backend as last season and they're producing the same results. Then not adding any real gritty or hard working guys, they would get swept in round 1 with the soft game they play now. Yet they believed they were not just good enough to make the playoffs, but contend for a cup? Clown show. I want to like Adams and give him a shot, but he isn't the guy. We need a real President of Hockey Ops who knows how to build a winner, and they need to have complete control of the team. Until we get that person to bring in the right, fresh people we'll never get out of this rut.

Not to be that guy. Staal.

2nd line center def filled a larger need. Hall may well be the push over the edge though

Hoffman would be another top sign

Buffalo roped in Gunner Stahl to play there too?? Awesome

Staal*******

Aged well didn’t it

Yeah

Nope

That’s powerful lol

Dude said it 9 years ago and now he’s actually doing it. God bless

@@kylecaccamise3832 nah, he’s still just saying it.

Sabres still have zero shot even with hall. That made me laugh out loud when he said that...

@@kylecaccamise3832 lol the team has two players 😂 idk if that’s a cup team 😂

You cant just be a cup team after missing the playoffs, if they go 500 im happy Then make the playoffs and so on and so forth

hmmm.......... okay!

i'm from the future to let you know it works out great!

Like fine milk

We’ll have that when UPL comes in and challenges Ullmark for the top spot.

Three months later - you still a Sabres fan?

@@rudyando lol nah

Should be able to find it on the "Embedded" playlist on their youtube channel

He said he the one year deal does not indicated they don’t want Taylor here long term. I don’t think they’re financially in a spot to pay someone like they did Skinner without knowing for sure that he’s going to be a big difference in them winning.

The NHL still projects a January 1st start date.

You don’t land, or even go after, a guy like Hall unless you’re trying to build towards a Cup.

@@kevinwilliams1367 or unless your trying to destroy a franchise!

Watching this part, I thought, "The Sabres reached out to get Eakins? Didn't they know?" Fascinating to see how this Sabres team was put together. Listening to Krueger, watching Krueger in the last Zoom call, I begin to understand how a multi-million-dollar sports organization gets conned. "Our culture". "This is the piece that makes us elite". "We are built to be this good for a long time" (I think that's what Krueger said).

Because the salary cap didn’t increase. The cost of long term contracts are much greater, and locking in a long term contract impacts our ability to sign our other players like Dahlin.

Yo just wanted you to look back on this comment, your killer team actually broke records this year, but you know……………

@@liammcclure9100 😭😭

Jealous his team didnt sign him^^^^^

@@johncohle8331 how the sabres doing buddy?

My man a fortune teller

@Dan Evertt Well I'm thinking: Skinner-Eichel-Olofsson Hall-Staal-Reinhart Kahun-Cozens-Thompson Girgensons-Eakin-Okposo Dahlin-Miller Montour-Ristolainen McCabe-Jokiharju Irwin

Him or Hoffman and leave okoposo unprotected so Seattle takes him them that’ll clear up some cap

@Dan Evertt Seattle has plenty of cap to take him, he’s a good player and would be a good veteran for Seattle. We need Hoffman to make a cup run this year

@Dan Evertt he could be on their top 6. He will never be on buffalos top 6 because they have too many other younger players at a higher level. Okoposo may be drafted if he’s unprotected

Seattle would only take Okposo if the Sabres made a deal to take him. They'd probably have to give up a high draft pick. Maybe the 1st rounder. Which if we can get Hall long term and another player for that money it's worth it, but I don't see Seattle taking Okposo. Unless they need a big contract to make it to the CAP floor or get something more.

You sound bitter Danny

@@johncohle8331 Its called realism, look at hallsys stats, he has one 82 game season. www.hockey-reference.com/players/h/hallta02.html

@@danschroeder3441 So your team was in the running and he turned them down....got it.

@@johncohle8331 How's that Jeff Skinner contract treating y'all?

@@danschroeder3441 Well there's a "smooth" pivot.

I know Cozens is pretty much a shoe-in for the opening night roster, but is Quinn NHL-ready? I’m not disagreeing with you, I just genuinely don’t know. If he is ready to make that jump, by all means get him on the team, I just don’t want them to tank his development by bringing him in too soon

@@MaxtheMonster13 I only thought of that as an option because if we signed Hoffman we wouldn’t have any cap left so we would need to fill the bottom 6 with cheap players and quin is on a 3 year entry level with the potential to be good. However the top two lines would be producing every game so if cozens and Quin line connected that would even be more of a gift since they are cheap as well

You're allowed a grace period before free agency
