Here are more takeaways from Adams' conversation with the media.
Notice how there are no takeaways about how the Sabres are a failure of an organization in the last ten years, which they have been, because this is a biased article from a Sabres employee.
Eichel could return this season
Once again the Sabres are giving themselves more room for error because a lot of people think that Eichel will not return, which would make the readers of this article lose hope in the organization because Eichel is the best player. Using the word could can help to keep people interested.
I don't want to rush into anything. It's about getting it right and that's something I've talked about since June."
Once again we see the Sabres adding quotes that will cause less backlash to them in the future. Including this quote about how they are unsure of when they will hire a new head coach gives them more breathing room. If this article was written by an outside source, there would most likely be less bias, and more negative sentences/ words about the GM and the organization.
He spent the ensuing weeks reading the pulse of the dressing room and weighing the best course of action, a decision he said was made more difficult by players' belief and admiration for Krueger.
Many people were unhappy with how long it took the GM to fire the head coach since the Sabres have lost 12 games straight, so including this in the article is another way to try and inform the readers why it took so long, even if it may be a lie.
"That has to be within the DNA of our team. I don't care where we are in the standings right now. If we do not show up at the rink tomorrow and for the rest of that season and have that characteristic about our team, it's going to be unacceptable."
The person who wrote this works for the Sabres, so they are going to use quotes within the structure of this article from the GM that represent the Sabres and Kevin Adams (GM) in a positive way.
"To love, to look around the city of Buffalo and see Sabres hats and signs and people wearing jerseys - that matters," Adams said.
Kevin Adams said this in order to try and show the fans of the city that he sees them and he cares for them, which will hopefully make them think that he should keep his job.
