Agreed he did

It is what it is. An underwhelming return either way

I think it's hilarious to think he wouldn't have waived for any other team imaginable and would've rather just stayed here. I don't believe that whatsoever.

What Adams and Hall both said are convenient things to say after the trade

We heard a whopping 0 reports of this leading up to or even after the trade from any sources before the press conference and his interview

tbh, none of the old-timer insiders here--like 89, homie, 39, gerbe--had anything of substance...the new wave of insiders spoke in generalities (no poke at anyone) so everything was up in the air

So...expectations for Bjork?

He's got motivation. Those (frank)ers sent him to hockey hell for no reason other then acquiring a poop head.

the only reports we ever got about hall were that his value wasn't that great

alas, here we are

Why can't people let things go and just move forward?
- gerbe75pts

Are we still being patient for something good or just more of this

im sure he could match Hall's goal production for the rest of the season

Well, the key to being happy, lower your expectations....

her older stuff was pretty good:




kick ass with sugarcubes:

wings activate tank mode with the mantha,nemeth,merril trades.
no fabbri, bertuzzi, ryan-injuries

Who was the guy that NAILED the Myers trade to Winnipeg the day before it happened?

I was FLOORED with that.

I like what Detroit has done. Just unfortunate there is no high end talent available this year at the top of the draft.

Do you see them bottoming out again next year ?

You’re right.

We also didn’t read reports of having to throw in useful bottom 6 player + retaining half+ taking on cap dump for bottom 6 player with double the salary of equal bottom 6 player you’re giving up

too many prospects ready to bottom out next year IMO

Buffalo39.

Called the random Tallinder back to Buffalo trade as well.

Doesn’t come around here anymore though cause he screwed the pooch on a Carey Price rumour that got him eaten alive.

Sabres are a horrible team right up against the cap, I'm not sure there is a quick fix for this crap.

I hope, but I'm about all out of hope. I'm kind of the opposite of Andy Dufresne.

That was him on the paying the Price thing?

Detroit could have a solid team but they are gonna lack that elite franchise player unless they sell off for Shane Wright next year.

You’re right.

which i said 6 hours ago, was maybe the only way they got 2nd

since teams were expecting to get him for a 3rd

this. or Yzerman somehow pulls another Kurcherov in the draft.

You’re right.

Sounds like Adams expects him to be more of a contributor and play a bigger role here...

Then again that could be GM speak

We will see

It’s a bad trade. Period.

Doesn’t have to be a referendum on anything or anyone.

Just another in the long list

Hope so.

I’d like to someday feel like we win these days. Since on the ice that’s rare too
