Listening to the PC now. the ADR surgery almost acted the same way as a NTC.

Teams that agreed with the Sabres doctors were eliminated by it.

Good post. My concern going forward is that we will have a metric crap ton of middle 6 forwards and we will end up looking for elite talent in 2 or 3 years.

So then they need to turn around and make a volume trade for the next star that becomes available

Just don’t do it a million times like Murray tried to

So are people Happy or Satisfied or pissed?? Think Adams did pretty good for the situation.
- Buff36


Happy, and heres why:

- the drama is over
- we free up $5.2 MM in cap space
- Tuch adds size + speed + skill + playoff level compete (and ~45 to 60 points per year) for a modest salary
- Krebs is a top 10 talent who will grow with JJ, Quinn, Casey, Cozens, and Power into the new core
- we have THREE 1st round picks in a loaded 2022 draft
- 2022 to 2024 draft capital AND cap space to make whatever moves are there
- a happy locker room
- a coach who has a knack for getting the best out of the young talent

A clean break was worth a lot of draft capital, Adams had good reason for demanding it.

With all due respect, I don't think Eichel was the dark cloud in that dressing room.

Soon as Jack opened his mouth at the end of year zoom I knew Adams was in for a fight trade wise. I wasn't expecting a huge haul. I am still pissed because I think Eichel screwed us.

Well hopefully this trade gets us to that point in a couple years, like where Vegas is at and you go get that 1 player you think pushes the chips in.

So what exactly was Tuch's surgery? He MIGHT be better for this team than he's getting credit for.

I agree with this post.

Maybe though the Sabres anti up to move to the top of the draft for the star?

(3) 1sts, plenty of prospects...

18 in 56 games last year. I think the concern will be his injury history. No reason he shouldn't be a top 6 guy. Probably a better version of Bjork.

Vegas has pulled highway robbery on teams across the league since the expansion draft

It’s incredible that they have possibly 3 of the best 20 players in the league and they are a 5 year old franchise

Strangely they have gotten worse, although its difficult to get better when you go to the cup in their inaugural season.
