Trade for this guy trade for that guy. I made a trade with a Vancouver poster for (2) 2nd's and a mustache.....

Sabres team signs bishop to get to the minimum.

My hockey team needs to trade for expensive players 😥😥😥😥

Why please KA, do this and that.

Went to Amerks game today. They seem to be playing just like the parent club. Offense was good. Controlled play in Toronto's end for much of the game. Generated a lot of opportunities. Their (not there) three goal were all pretty, especially the first and third ones. And their defense looked good giving up only 18 shots ... well 20 but the last two were empty net goals and that is because no matter how much offense they generated the Amerks were down 3-0 by midway through the second. Four goals on 18 shots. Bonus: 0 for 7 on the power play. Losing games when they matter.

Just watched the entire Blues/Knights game. Eichel played with way more heart here, and that’s not saying much. I would despise him if I were a Vegas fan. He couldn’t even bury an EN on a break at the end with one guy barley covering him. Didn’t even try to fight the guy off.

Kevin Cheveldayoff didn’t even make a player for player trade for the first 3 years on the job in Winnipeg.

His tenure has gone alright for the most part won’t you think ?

Guess this ump must’ve really had to go take a poop, or something.

looks like the catcher might’ve saved the day by calming dude down a bit.
Probably a good thing the ump kept walking, I thought for a second I was about to see a recreation of a scene from blazing saddles

The ump won’t be working any more games in that conference.

Say what you want about Adams impatience at the professional level but he’s been doing well at the draft table (which honestly is the most important facet of the job anyways).

Draft and develop well (which so far has been the case) and the sky is the limit.

How has he done drafting defense...?

He's reached at forward and at goal at a couple of inopportune times in drafts.

Every team has their draft misses. Even Tampa despite being the Mecca of drafting has taken Brett Connolly, slater koekkoek, and Cal Foote.

Adams took Owen Power to add to Dahlin, Samuelsson, and hopefully Johnson.

Quinn, Peterka, Savoie, Kulich, Ostlund, Rosen is an impressive haul

Just seems too early to say much about his drafting, other than the abundance of forwards. Power was plug and play, Quinn looks good. Too soon on everyone else.

I think you can say the forward group of prospects look promising. But it’s too early to make any clear determination on whether he’s good or not.

What Kulich is doing at 18 in the AHL is borderline historic.

What Levi just did the last two years of college is borderline historic (not drafted but acquired him so I give him credit there)

Savoie just extended his point streak to 7 games today and has been playing at a 2.0 PPG clip for over a month now.

Peterka is showing well as a rookie and had an incredible year in Rochester last year.

Ostlund has fared well in Sweden, nothing crazy by any sense of the imagination but there is a skill set there if developed properly can be very intriguing

If Adams can get Levi and Johnson signed at least the season wont be a total failure.

Not really Historic considering Pastrnak averaged over a point per game as an 18 year old. Nylander also averaged move points per game. He is doing very well but nothing close to historic. You have a funny word for Historic but my guess is you are in love with Adams so you protect him at every cost.

Peterka has been a trainwreck defensively and disappeared for half the season. What games are you watching?

Adams has done some good.

He’s also missed on some no brainers to me.

I’m also not confident he’s a great negotiator.

Remains to be seen.

I do know very few GMs make it out of 4 straight years of no playoffs. He should be no different.

Maybe I need to slow this down for everyone to understand :

Sabres sign pk88 for all the obvious reasons.
Rings, jerseys, owners love affair, tickets, veteran leadership, guy that wants to be here....
Oh, and he's a good hockey player still and an on ice upgrade over Casey or olofsson

He signs here because we pay him more
He has a young family
He has a way out if to the rangers if we flop.

Sabres get a return for their investment

The Peterka-Cozens-Quinn line has a 55 xGF% this year…………

The fact that Kulich is scoring goals at nearly the same clip that Pastrnak and Nylander did at 18 isn’t impressive to you ?

He’s had an average tenure so far.

I think he undeservedly gets credit for some improvements that we’re going to organically happen - Tage, Skinner, Dahlin turning it around, and Cozens being great

He should get credit for acquiring Levi (if Levi pans out, it’s far from a sure thing.) he should get credit for great contracts to Cozens/Tage and a couple decent trades

I think it’s absolutely negligent how he’s handled some other things like the goalie position, depth on defense, and how he seems to be bad at negotiating

I also think it’s a joke that he can’t figure out how to weaponize the cap space they have
