I thought Adams was wrong to let him go, though.

How can 32 GM's be so wrong?

He chose *checks notes* Cody Eakin for multiple years over him

Yes he was wrong.

Pfft. You didn't "check your notes". Cody Eakin is the first thing you think of every morning.

zero. You take a bad contract(s) that have 1 and 2 years of term left.

You dont retain anything on Eichel. Period.

I mean, it’s super funny to defend all of the moves of a GM who finished in last place but hey, you do it well

And it's another to obsessively bury ONE move that a GM makes but you are the king. I bow to thee.

Let's see if that ridiculous catch by Gardy inspires them.

Atleast Gardy came to play

They're going to have to grind one out here.

Don't comment on it, then. Pretty simple. You choose to be miserable about it. I don't. You choose to obsess over things (Myers, ROR, Eakin). I don't.

Maybe we should just call you on-ree instead?

Bien sûr, mon ami

IF he's traded...

He could come back after surgery, be showcased, play a little bit here and then be traded. Or he could light things up, lead us to the playoffs, and live happily ever after here.

You might end up accompanying Bezos on the next flight to space.

I'd put the chances of that happening the same as the bold above: Zero percent.

Way to many times with no run support

The Hawks had a surplus of D and D prospects at the time. The Nylander name also has a lot of cachet - plus the draft pedigree - which I think helped the Sabres get the return they did.

Good answer. Probably the best jbotts trade?

Just wondered if there was any bad effort or fortnite issues.

It will be interesting to see if Adams/Karmanos has the ability to add good NHL players via trade when the time comes. So far in two offseasons that has yet to happen

Bad thing with Sheary is if he would have brought the same production here as in Pittsburgh in wouldn't have been a bad trade.

It wasn't even a bad trade. Sheary is fine as a depth winger but the Sabres had too many of those kinds of guys without play driving centers for them

Agree with the Center part.

Wonder when that will change because that’s the situation now too

I know some like to wait and see how things turn out before deciding if a signing or trade was good or not.

The two big players (Hall and Staal) the Sabres brought in last year were a cross between bad, terrible, and horrendous on the ice.

They helped 'lead' the team to a last place finish that has resulted in the team's best player in years demanding a trade, and a tear down again with the goal being another last place finish.

Talk about a horrendous first season as the GM.

The current GM traded Sam Reinhart and Taylor Hall for a total of a late first, late 2nd and C goalie prospect. It’s some of the worst work a GM has ever done.

It’s not comforting knowing he’s leading rebuild 2.0

Bad year for a GM, it's been a bad decade for GM's in Sabreland. Especially when your trying to fix some of the mess from the former GM's.

There are quite a few that support him, even to the point of absolving him of blame for the moves made last season.

I think that mentality is entirely based on hope and optimism, not competency at this point.
