A JJ Peterka update from Elliotte Friedman

Jfc why is he unhappy? I can think about 10 guys who have the right to be more unhappy than him. Hes in year 4, gimme a break

Team has to get serious about the direction. You draft cozens, peterka, and Quinn a year apart with 🍝 as head coach; had them playing a very successful fast-break style of hockey coined the "kid line" w/ 2nd line mins. I love Lindy, but he broke that apart and they traded cozens

We can thank the gm for missing the playoffs by one point a couple seasons ago and decided to do nothing to the roster since then. And no, I don’t count bottom six forwards or bottom pairing d

Are the Sabres even a serious franchise at this point? No one wants to stay here and they can’t figure out how to win. What a great legacy Terry Pegula ownership has created here.

Pegula has really set this franchise back, what a shame!

I’m not in the sky is falling mode about JJ wanting out, this is all contingent on the Sabres have a great opportunity to land another legit Top 6 forward if they move JJ out. If they do that and address other pressing needs: saynora JJ and we move on

Totally fine with that. Later in the podcast he said don’t believe everything you see come out, there’s a lot of smoke

If he gets a top defenseman I’m alright with losing some offense

Seems like things continue to go well over there.

Sabres need to get real, they aren’t close to being a contender. The next 3 drafts have McKenna, DuPont and Schulz…. 3 absolute can’t miss guys. Push the chips in and stockpile as many 1’s as possible.
