Adams is going to end up with a 3-year season point average almost identical to both Murray and Botterill, who were both canned after 3 seasons. I honestly think the hire of John Roth signals Terry is going to sell the team at some point, the organization is a financial loser in his portfolio.

Now people talking like Dahlin wont sign lol. Sure lets fire the gm and coach again and that will make dahlin sign. Genius!

A lot of this just seems financially motivated. Of course they won't broker a trade because they'd rather save $125k than add a draft pick

Think it does just boil down to that. They've passed on every opportunity to use their cap to help themselves for a few years now.

Can't have a failing sports team get in the way of champagne wishes and caviar dreams now can we?

Tax write offs?

His plan is to say the same pandering cliches enough that everyone including the team, media and fans believe him, and it keeps buying him enough years with the job. It will be our year in 2027, unless of course it’s 2030….

You have to assume the Meier and Chychrun were asked if they wanted to be here and they said no.

Yawn

Dahlin already turned a long term extension down…..

hey he's having conversations
- TheSabresTaco

I am sure the guy on the other side of the Mirror looks like he's talking back to Adams to.

Asked, but without a trade clause, they didn’t have a choice.
We just didn’t offer as much or we didn’t
Offer at all

Yeah the Sabres pay for all the other money he hides oops, pays taxes on.

They need to come up with a Want To Be Here™ brand logo, and then brand it on guys' chests, Yellowstone style.

Say they miss the playoffs this season (looking like it), next season would be year 6 of him not making it.

Why would he want to stay especially if the team is still doing the dramatic run to 9th place again, but hey at least they're not last?

I have heard that it's possible as well.

They have a real ownership group that is pushing, but Atlanta doesn't support hockey, makes zero sense.

these guys usually sign for what the team looks like down the road, not immediately.

get the sense that any potential flurry of moves ahead of the deadline today will be buzzer-beaters.

It's not the extension you have to worry about. It's the demand for a trade 2 years later.

Dahlin may seriously wait to see what Adams does this summer before he signs.

He turned down one long term deal, you have to wonder at this point

It'll happen - not sure if Alpharetta is the place, but it will happen.

Especially with a NMC in it...

If they put the arena north of the city itself in Marietta or Alpharetta it will absolutely work.

Atlanta doesnt support poopTY hockey.

One playoff series in their lifetime and horrible management of that team, plus an ownership group that never intended on keeping them.

This deadline has completely killed the vibes I had for this team that I haven’t had in a decade….. Adam’s has annoyed me with mantras and cliches for years, but he made a good deal on Eichel and a few guys Thompson (Didn’t trade for him) and Cozens (Didn’t draft him) have had career years, so people want to proclaim him a genius and give him the benefit of the doubt… F that!

F and have proved they will not show up for losers yet Adam’s takes advantage of our hockey market and the young players (Most of whom he had nothing to do with acquiring) are doing well, and most assumed we’d make a small move or two to finally get this team back into the playoffs. Get the fans something to get excited about and the players something to learn from. Instead, Adam’s just tries to act like Vinnie (frank)ing Hinostroza and Jacob Bryson need to learn how to win.
