And you know what ? I'm glad he's unhappy. He SHOULD be unhappy, right ? Would everyone like Jack to say "Oh I'm fine - couldn't be better ! Love the makeup of this team...we're awesome !". I hope they're ALL unhappy. Sadly though, there's probably some floaters on the squad that are just collecting paychecks, going through the motions, and not speaking up ... and they need to be dealt with.

And Adams can fix that IF he does the job correctly. Since he has no experience as a GM, it's going to be a tough job. I guess all I have is hope for him to succeed. I doubt he lets another GM run all over him though - he seems scrappy.

Fix the players on this team, and Jack and everyone else is happy.

The problem is We squandered too much of his time so if we even make improvements this year but still miss the playoffs I believe hes going to say he wants out..

It's do-or-die this year and that's the problem Adam's needs to go all out like no other GM before

Rickard played a little center if he could go full time that would help us Tremendously

I'm just thinking about all the possibilities that could help us at center lol The list right now It might be lucky charms and unicorns

I still think we end up with Derek Stepan i will hate it the whole Buffalo fan base will hate it...

Hes probably the easiest to get with less assets And they will probably take some of the money

I'm ok with Stepan, as long as they bring another Center who is much better in addition to Stepan.

The beauty of it is that 2/3 C's are infinitely easier to obtain than 1Cs. The team needs to lock into a few that simply fit the play style that they're looking for. Which I can almost guarantee is a more boring, defensively responsible center that has 50 points in him. Derek Stepan, while I would be grossed out by it, might actually be an ok acquisition for the term, cost of trade and maybe withheld salary.

Give Stepan Skinner and Kahun and I think you can make something work there.

If we were to go after Stepan, wouldn't mind seeing a couple youngster thrown in, maybe Schnarr or Bunting, Maccelli. Help fill Rochester with some decent prospects who are almost ready for the big club.

That's a hefty contract for a peak 40 point center.

I know it's Ek being Ek, but if we somehow landed Taylor Hall, that changes a LOT of things. Who could shut down Eichel/Hall?

I truly believe if he got out of the coyotes organization his Offense Would explode and you would see the true potential he has imo ..

The Coyotes Usually smother Offensive players and more focused on defense thats my feeling

Skinner and Domi on the same line would certainly be exciting, but would be a absolute defensive disaster

But people on here are willing to pay Henrique 5.9mill a year for 40 to 50pts.
