They really should've done this before the hiring. Unless the plan is to fire Krueger

Sounds like Krueger is going to have a say in shaping the roster, along with Adams and the Pegulas.

Internal SVP hire for GM. Fire Krueger over Zoom. Draft Matthew Savoie #1OA in 2022. Fire Adams and hire Chia.

The cycle will be complete!

Man there is a lot of wrong in there. Let the shit show continue

Eichel needs to call Buffalo and tell them "Bullshit, trade me right f***ing now" and then hang up.

 

[bellagiobob]

Appropriate time to give this another listen.

While a lot of the guys in Buffalo probably need to be let go. I do question if it's going to matter.

If this 4 person dream team is making decisions I don't know that Buffalo is going to be any further ahead.

They need to bring in a hockey mind to run things and hire the proper people

Nothing shocking about this at all. Hockey culture is rotten to the core and has been for an extremely long time.

Why are they fighting it so hard? I'm sure Chiarelli would have been happy to take that GM job. Buffalo just insists on dragging this all out.

His first move would be to trade Eichel for Subban, straight up, no questions asked

Apparently, they are going to be placing a greater emphasis on video scouting.

I think it was from TSN App last night answering why these changes considering 3 weeks ago Botterill was safe.

Sounded like since the draft was pushed up the Pegula's had more time to talk to him about vision and such. One of the things he was pushing back on was cost cutting measures.

Now while Botterill wasn't the right guy to be running things, it's quite scary that a team who has struggled for years wants to cut money from the organization. This is a team very similar to the Oilers, bring in some proper complimentary players and the team could very well shoot up the standing a few spots. They also have a lot of young talent that need help developing.

Now is the time for them to be spending money on scouts and development people, not cutting it.

I'd like to see Buffalo turn things around. It's a franchise that could use a good long playoff run or two. Hopefully it's also a more likeable team than the 06-07 roster. For some reason I didn't really enjoy watching those guys, but I can't really put my finger on why.

I’m floored that they went with Adams.

Botterill was bad no doubt about it but it seems like they are making the same mistakes the Decade of Darkness Oilers did.

Considering what I read last night I'm not floored. They are trying to find the cheapest option.

I don't agree with it at all, but the Pegulas don't seem like they are very smart owners.

That’s for sure.

They seem to be overly involved and it’s affecting the product on the ice.

 

[bellagiobob]

Agree, that was the loudest I can recall the building ever being, from start to finish. And one of the most dominant SC Final games I’ve ever seen an Oiler team play. Relentless on every single shift. Sat in my seat for half an hour after the game ended, sipping my beer with a huge smile on my face.

Tripping over dollars to pick up dimes. Tear apart the entire core of the organization, yet they happily signed Skinner to that gross contract that everyone knew was going to be a mess.

That win had me thoroughly convinced we were winning game 7.


Life is such a tease

They played too tight a game in Game 7. They were playing not to lose versus playing to win that game.
