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.

I like how you always conveniently leave out that Timo would be here next year and most likely for an additional seven years after that

The Predators got more for more Jeannot than the Sharks did for Meier.

2025 first lol

Who needs first round picks when you’re trading for good RFA’s and always drafting in the twenties or higher?

Again I don’t get it. Why do we have to wait to acquire someone who’s going to be here long term?

Their highest selection will be their 2025 2nd rounder for the next 3 drafts.

There Contenders and there GM makes moves to help keep them there.
We aren't Contenders but could have gotten a very good player at a decent price that could have helped us get there. But we can't do that because we aren't Contenders.

I assume the Bolts GM lost a bet that the wager was you have to make an awful trade.

Could happen, but lately those trades have been for younger players who will be there for awhile.

I’d agree with them as well.

A better return than Meier.

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.
- Buff36


Umm that is fair. Adams didn’t want to break up the band. Like I’ve been saying

Next man up.

Imagine acting like some kind of expert and making fun of another poster for years for being a season ticket holder.

Then using your vast hockey knowledge to compare pat Kane to sam reinhart.

Good post

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.

- Stripes77


We hope his drafting is great. There's a lot riding on it.

I assume if another trade was going down the parting GM calls the other and says, yea I’m gona need a bit more now.

This could reshape the entire market.

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.

- Stripes77


Some franchises try and trade guys to teams they want to play. It's a good look for future FA players. You know that, or should.

Just because I want the team to stay the course , doesnt mean I'm a bad GM.

It just means our opinions vary. 🤔
