    Have also fired assistant GMs Randy Sexton and Steve Greeley as well (as per TSN). Somehow this just doesn't inspire confidence; it's not easy being a Sabres fan these days.

    It's a nice lesson for fantasy league rebuilders. Easy to tear it down, not so easy to build it back up. Both Oilers and Sabres are still paying the price for how bad they were when they landed the McDavid/Eichel picks.

    It makes sense, but I don't know why they did it now. Should have been like 2+ months ago

    Agree w/everything in this thread. Truth.
    Edmonton & Buffalo have been shit shows for management & hiring by that management.
    If a collective of us from these forums had been running those shows... I don't think they'd be in any worse shape.

    Guess Sabres going to have a new GM putting his stamp on team, looks like a vicious circle.

    Fun fact: The Sabres haven't hired a GM that had previous experience as a GM since Punch Imlach in 1970.

    The only thing I'd add to this is that I personally distinguish "ownership" and "management". Yes, the Sabres have been mismanaged. But I don't think there would be a team in Buffalo without the current owners. That matters to me. (Although I get it doesn't matter to a lot of people - I'm sure people would love to see them in Quebec City, or wherever). I just with the Pegulas would be more hands off.

    Darcy Reiger was an assistant GM for the Islanders before becoming Buffalo's GM. So I think the statement is debatable...

    John Muckler had no GM experience, but was named the Executive of the Year by the Sporting News while GM'ing for Buffalo.

    While I never liked Scotty Bowman as a GM, it's not like he was exactly a green thumb...
