I forgot they smartly jumped on him extra early

Are you forgetting about Bryson?

they would have still missed the playoffs if they didn’t have that streak. They didn’t have a single 5 game chunk where they looked consistently decent.
I can’t wait for Dahlin to ask for a trade in January, I want to finally watch the poor guy play an important game.

lol Kevin also said he’s allowed to spend to the cap each of the past five years, which was a blatant lie.
Do you believe politicians too?

It’s almost like they kept the entire same coaching staff who failed miserably the past 3 seasons.
Not even an assistant coach fired because they’re running everything extremely cheap compared to all other teams. No other team would accept so much losing.

If you wanted to see signs that they care about winning next season - also SOL

He’s so incompetent, this team has no hope
comment in response to

That’s why I hate when people say “at least he’s good at drafting.”
Adams is good at nothing but a smug smirk

Way too late as usual
comment in response to

They have to have people on the trade block because running it back is out of the question. If he keeps two of them, that means minimal changes, which means Dahlin asks for a trade in a year.
No new coaches, a minor trade or two, 2 advisors…Dahiln and Tage will walk

He won’t even hire a new goalie coach, it’s difficult because he makes it difficult. He’s always the last to know what he has because he takes so long to be able to fully asses a player
comment in response to
post
They don’t want to sign JJ long term so they’re going to trade him before being forced to sign him long term via offer sheet.
Byram is being traded because he wants a bigger role and Adams only wants players who want to be there.
Tuch could stay this season but we’d lose him for nothing next year
comment in response to
post
Bennet isn’t coming, and they can’t even overpay him because they’ll be close to the cap after figuring in all of the RFAs and Skinner’s dead cap.
Adam’s doesn’t think they need a goalie so they won’t get one
comment in response to

Can you elaborate on why Buffalo would consider this for one second? Put some fucking effort in bro…this is trash
comment in response to
post
Yet rumors that Tuch, Peterka, Byram are all on the trade block. You don’t get better by trading good players, and you will almost definitely get futures in return as part of any deal because no one is giving up an equivalent player.
Already rumors about the Byram return needing to include a 1st.

This is such a bad article…

Sounds like they’re about to start another rebuild so who knows
comment in response to

They need players who care about something else besides their own point totals. I’d skip JJ too.

JJ for Zub

He’s the worst just like everything that show does.
comment in response to

No they don’t, this article adds absolutely nothing to the conversation
comment in response to
post
This article doesn’t address the fact that one more losing season will see another round of stars asking for a trade. That’s why only thinking long term is dumb.

I stopped reading when you praised the owners for having “Christian values”
Barf.
Christians are the most racist, hateful people I’ve ever met, and the Pegulas go out of their way to fund racist Christian politicians so that tracks with me. It’s obvious why you’re sticking up for them.

You mean Terry Pegula. You hope Terry figures it out.

I’d just let Marner walk, for one. Too much spent on wingers.

He wasn’t even top 3 on Sweden’s team this past year, much less the whole league. Take off the homer glasses
comment in response to

He dragged them to what, loses? He isn’t dragging anyone anywhere except the golf course in April
comment in response to
post
People are being kidnapped by police who won’t even identify themselves now - that’s because of people like Pegula. They wanted this because they are filled with hate.
Q had an “insufficient response to SA accusations.” Not on the same level to me. Especially when you consider the motivations.
comment in response to
post
And yeah, I think Pegula supporting racist, anti-democratic and anti-trans politicians is worse. I think the team specifically seeking out vets who are Christian and anti-gay is worse.
comment in response to

He’s never been accused of covering it up, as far as I can tell.
comment in response to

They have a bunch of Christian fascists on the team, which is arguably worse.

They do

He was horrible here. The people he “mentored” with his shit attitude didn’t get better until well after he left.
comment in response to

Another homophobe hire for Adams.
He sucks so bad and didn’t even try when he was here last.
Worst organization in pro sports history.

The best I can do is promoting the GM and AGM

There is no hope since like you said they are unwilling to be self-critical, and have a culture of no accountability at the top.
comment in response to

Well they do - they’re just more rare and therefore more expensive to draft and develop.
A defenseman can increase his draft value by roughly 15-20 spots by playing on the right instead of left, and can ask for a much higher salary, all else considered equal.
comment in response to
post
Seems like far over 60% by the time they get to the NHL. It’s certainly more than 60% of defensemen.
comment in response to
post
Maybe I’m misunderstanding but isn’t that a plus? The fact that a team regularly pays guys in your position to not work, after a short periods of working?
comment in response to
post
Literally every team needs a RHD. God just doesn’t make enough haha
comment in response to
post
The only team who’s good on the right is the Wild, from what I can tell. Makes me wonder why more kids don’t try playing RHD
comment in response to
post
And yet his teams never went 5 years without playoffs.
Lou might not be good, but he’s light years better than Adams.
comment in response to
post
And the current one had the least amount of experience when hired, by far. Expecting anything but failure on the ice was foolhardy.

Okay, give him 8x8 and move on. Focus on getting a right handed defender
comment in response to
post
This might be the dumbest article I’ve ever read, based on one of the dumbest rumors I’ve ever read.
Offer sheets are only effective against teams that are close to the cap. Buffalo would simply match any OS and move on. Worst case is a slight overpay, big deal.

The Pegulas are anti-union Trump supporters and they suck.
comment in response to

You know full well they’ll win just enough games to miss out on the opportunity to get an actual top line player.

Not a single forward!
