I've got a feeling that briere is on way over his head. What a disaster. They should have blown it up last offseason.

From my understanding it was between Buffalo and Boston for Ullmark but Boston offered the extra year of term and a slightly bit more $$$.

Memory is fuzzy but that’s what I remember

Not quite. He demanded more from us to stay. Adams said he would match their offer, he declined.

Close but no cigar.

Nonetheless.

Blues / Flyers players with nmc clauses. It can't be this hard to be a gm, can it?

A 2.69 Goals against Average and a .915 save percentage is what Ullmark averaged while he was here, almost the same as his first year in Boston. Sure could have used something even close to those Numbers this year.
- Buff36

He didnt want to sign here. Adams offered him exactly what the bruins did. Wanted more from the sabres. Offered a 1 year contract before than cause he was always hurt.

99% of everyone here was ok with the 1 year and very ok with him going to the bruins. Why? Why did you not say anything then?

What justifies you not saying anything before and now pretty much blaming adams? He sucked his 1st year in Boston? You didnt say anything. He had a great year this year and fell flat on his face in playoffs and now this year you hating on adams.

You got this down pat. This is easy gm’ing

Was just marveling at the same. Woof.

I don't know where this is going. Topic was more or less goaltending. Acquire the right guy to play with Levi and we're on to the next chapter.
- Lunaion

It was. You said signing guys to 1 year deals is unforgivable. I explained that he was a new gm and most new gm’s want there own guys.

Also usually dont want guys that dont want to be here. Prob cause they were ruined from the previous coaching staff.

Example Ullmark, Reinfart, Eichd*ck, montour

He did not suck his 1st year in Boston, actually perfect tandem numbers to work with Levi. And I have said stuff on Ullmark before, and a lot of others. He didn't want to sign here because they screwed around with him when he was a RFA.

Zemgus on a 4 year contract?

Belief is that the STL/PHI wil eventually get done.

Deal is agreed upon but the sole holdup is the NTC from a Blues' player.

Sounds like Krug wouldn't waive and they are trying to save it. I don't blame him.

Ok .917 on the best defensive team in hockey. He had a good year. Most here were still fine that we did not give him that contract.

He didnt want to sign here cause we were the worst team in hockey for most of the years he was here. 99% of that had nothing to do with Adams.

Saw Incarcerated Bob say now it might actually be Faulk.

Or perhaps both Krug and Faulk are going to Philly in the trade

He definitely didn't suck that year. Maybe a better way of looking at it is that Swayman put up identical stats that year coming out of college. I think that is why ullmark is rumored to be available after not looking good in the postseason. That team plays great D.

That should rule out helleybuck trade and extension.

I’d take a third rounder for Olofsson at 50% retained if need be.

Then parlay it as an add on in another deal
- Swedish_Jesus

Oloffson is worth a hell of a lot more than that and 3rd rounders have about a 20% of playing in the NHL

Time will tell.

Not many teams have cap space.

He may be able to bring in a second rounder depending on the team

That should rule out helleybuck trade and extension.

They still have a ton of cap. Can make it work if vanecek goes the other way
