Timo Meier is not mackinnon. Not even close


Adams tried last night and failed and moved on.

It’s not like we missed our on an elite player.

It will be okay.

Agree.

Has he called on any goalies?
Any d men?
Bjustead?

I seriously need this explained to me like I’m 5
- sbroads24

I’m still waiting for the explanation.

I usually get a response of “fine just Tim Murray this thing then”.

I’m honestly not sure how the Devils are going to recover from this trade I mean it’s sets them back probably 50 years at a minimum

Imagine seeing a team with the most cap space in the league with the most asset in the league get beat out on a terrible offer from another team.

Not to mention everyone’s calling for this team to add some toughness….well Timo is that guy, oh he can also score 40.

Meier is a better Alex Tuch.
- ImThatGuy



Correct.

Imagine him on Cozens wing.

But nope. Look that trade had a lot of pieces but I don’t see a lot of substance there. The Sabres could have easily beat that package but for some reason didn’t. Adams has his plan but ultimately that will be what holds this team back from being a legit contender IMO. Contenders are making trades to get better short and long term.

Until Adams makes a trade that he doesn’t HAVE to make (Eichel) he will be questioned on his all around ability.

He has done some really good things, his drafting and contract management has been exceptional. But his lack of improving the goaltending and the fact that he hasn’t made a trade outside of Eichel is leaving a lot of question marks about his ability.

He has nothing in his contract about a no trade list and is a RFA after this season. Try again

Why would the Sharks who are rebuilding take a lesser package?

Good lord Boss I’m so glad you’re not the Sabres GM.

All these teams blowing there future on players and we will benefit in the long run. Friday is not here yet, relax. We got 2 good players in "limbo" so to speak as for now and they will play a big part in this, be calm for now.

The Athletic's Jay Morrison writes Joe Mixon could be a cap casualty for the Bengals this offseason.
We generally take these reports with a grain of salt, but Morrison writes this sentence at the end of the capsule: "reallocating $7.3 million to more pressing needs feels closer to a certainty than a mere possibility." Releasing Mixon would save that much in cap space, and releasing Mixon with a post-June 1 designation would save $10 million. Morrison writes the Bengals could look to draft a running back this year. With Samaje Perine also a free agent, a Mixon release would make the backfield a blank slate heading into free agency.


Per Roto World...... wow, good RB

Well just a little info, but just talked with my Friend, we didn't have the D prospect they wanted and Adams wasn't willing to use the D they would have. Take it for what it's worth.

We are not contenders. We have 3 goalies. Our best goalie is 40. Our #2 D is 20YO and has played 50 some games. Like we are not the devils. Not even close.

I dont know how people dont see this. Anything we do this year will not change any of these facts.

I don’t get how this matters. At all. Is Timo Meier retiring at years end?

Because trading for a 26 year old controlled player in his prime is a bad idea to wait for it…become contenders for the next 6-8 years…

Completely missing the point that 70 point players who are good defensively and a beast to play against don’t grow on trees and don’t become available in a trade very often.

Take into account the way the cap is set up for the Sabres, they’re in perfect position to add such a player.

I am not talking about becoming a cup contender now, but down the road. Timo Meier helps get them to that point, plus gives the fan base a potential playoff berth this year, you know something they haven’t done in 11 years.

You add a player like him now makes this team better now, and for the future. He is the perfect example of a player to add now, he’s not a Patrick Kane pending UFA.

We all want to be great again. But the only thjng that will help this team get great is time.

1C - 25yo
2c - just turn 22
1D - 22yo
2D - 20yo

Best goalie out of the 3 on the roster - 41yo 😂

Yup lets trade 2/3 into the season for the best available player like we are a top 5 team trying to win the cup.

The #TBLightning acquire Tanner Jeannot from #preds for Cal Foote and five draft picks -- 2025 first, 2024 second, 2023 third/fourth/fifth.

Now that’s not something Adams should have done.
