Coming down with a two handed cross check full force to bend/snap someone's ankles is clear intent to hurt/inure whatever you want to call it.

I've been in his skates. I don't think he intend to break the guys ankles.

A fine is all that is needed. Not $2500 though. They gotta up these fines. They really do nothing.

Start fining guys 10,000-20,000

Considering how this year ended, that’s a fireable offense to not ice a team trying to win next season
- sbroads24[

First
Let's see what happens over the summer
Wasn't expecting him to say
Ya we're trading for this or that
Or all 3 picks are available

First year of the new rebuild
And they played well for what 35 games
Let the kids grow and see what they have

There gonna have to spend money somewhere
So I'd imagine a ufa or trade is incoming

Agreed. Management needs to show these guys they are here to help. Maybe not playoffs this year but show the team you will do things to help this team get better. Don't sit on your hands.

you Can't fine guys $100,000. That's where suspensions come in.

If you are suspended for a game you don't get paid for that game correct?

Sure you can.

Fine them suspend them. Make them realize you cant do that crap.

What they are doing now is obviously not working.

The game will change real quick.

I find it mildly refreshing that Adams is no longer looking for Guys Who Want To Be Here™, and moreso addresses it as We will continue with Guys Who Want To Be Here™

Not exactly what he is saying.

The Sabres need to be trying to win next year.

Anything less, should be considered by fans a fireable offense.

Peguals wont, but as an Org they need to try and ice a winning product.

IE If you get seasons next year, but then they Trade VO and another player for futures (Draft picks) it shouldnt sit well with you.

I've never really appreciated this line of thinking.

"Trying to win" with this group of guys simply means your reaching for short term fixes that damage your long term vision. While that can be achieved to a point, responsibly, going all out every year is a gamble at best and extremely inadvisable at worst, for this particular team. Yeah I guess we can start trading young core guys. Or, you can build with what you have, responsibly add to it, addition by subtraction and build a long term team like most of these guys in the playoffs.

This team should aim to be the Hurricanes. An elite committee team built mostly by young and drafted players. Adams needs to add when the time is right. Depending on the player, that could be July 2022, 2023 or 2024.

So of course you try to win. They tried all year to win. My only demand is to provide a goalie tandem to allow the rest of this team a chance every night.

I said it’s a fireable offense. I didn’t say he’d get fired.

And yes, it would be really awful if the Sabres dont go for upgrades this offseason.

Unless you’re just totally cool with another year of meaningless games

I see the dig you're making, but generally speaking, I don't think their intentions are to move backwards like this. If they do, I'd be highly surprised and it would contradict KA's direction.

30% for an investment property, not one you're going to reside in, right?

If you're residing there, then you're talking about people with very bad credit that a percent like 30 would be needed to get the loan.

- kingcong39


30% will get you the best interest rate that your credit score would allow. Obviously if it’s poopty they won’t accept you without a certain amount. All loans are different pending a variety of factors. Investment properties, you have to put a certain percentage down, don’t know what that is. Sorry if that’s what you guys were talking about, just skim read and as I have (minimal) additional expert knowledge from her, thought I’d pass along my little nugget.

If KA does the minimum this summer, are they really meaningless games next year?

The 30% part is not true if you have good to excellent credit, if you are residing at the home.

It's entirely different if it is an investment property.

Having good to great credit means the amount down is minimal and does not impact the rate you will get, especially if you have excellent credit.

Yes Quinn and JJ too.

Zero Excuses not to try and add a Goalie and a top 6 forward this year.

Probably not, but not addressing the goaltending in a meaningful way I’d say is not doing the bare minimum and by his comments of being comfortable with Anderson and UPL that’s a distinct possibility

Also the comments on the top 4

They absolutely should look to upgrade from Jokiharju if they can. And I firmly believe Jokiharju is a fine 5-6 D man
