I’m sorry but this guy is your run of the mill Darcy clone

He’s too scared to pull the trigger on anything.

They got Colin Miller 2.0 because he was afraid of giving up assets.

Fine with the goalies he has because he’d have to give up assets

Tried to sign forwards yesterday and of course failed.

BTW the rookie record is Ed Belfour in 90-91: he played 74 games. Cmon Levi

Holy 💩. That’s a lot of games.

Dude I’m sorry man but I can’t keep listening to the “What was he supposed to say?” Or the “What can he do?” Excuses anymore.

The “big summer” right now is losing maybe their 3rd or 4th most important forward for probably most of the year and adding Connor freaking Clifton.

That’s an absolute joke if it holds

- sbroads24


I’m not the guy over analyzing a press conference lol.

Training camp starts in September.

Skinner was acquired in August once upon a time ffs.

Not arguing that Erik adds some needed Vet experience, but let’s all be real here. He didn’t choose Buffalo over 4,5 other teams. We overpaid to the point that he only had one choice.

Good post,

I'm hoping it wasn't just the $. Maybe he sees an opportunity here....

You're probably right though 👍

Sabres GM Kevyn Adams: “I’m really excited about the goaltenders we have.”

Said he’ll see how things play out in the coming weeks with the UFA/trade market but comfortable with Levi/UPL and mentioned how upgraded defense will help their goalies.

He played 23 the year before so idk where the cutoff is for being a rookie.

Johnny Bower played 70 as a true rookie in 1951.

I guess I would settle for 70 games from Levi

hart has done nothing to impress me
esp the last 3 years

- homiedclown

This is where I’m at too. Hart could be great. He might not be. Stick with Levi and 6K. Spend assets elsewhere.

They can definitely make the playoffs if UPL goes 5-5-2 and Levi goes 40-25-5
- Hank Balling

Hey this isn't Anderson we are talking about, atleast give UPL a little faith 5-7-4, we should get 2 starts every 3 weeks atleast out of UPL.

He’s telling you right to your face that he’s not making a significant move.

He’s afraid to move assets.

Name something he’s done that shows otherwise

Baller, you really dont like the 2 additions?

Both seem like big upgrades IMO

No more bryson or joker most likely......

What am I missing, the Sabres didnt go agaisnt everything we've learned about KA and his patience?

Maybe your expectations were falsely high?

Another lackluster free agency for Buffalo, KA is the new Darcy.

I like Clifton. Not sure what to think about the Johnson. It’s not 2015 anymore.

I’d listen to Gerbe.

Adams tells the media fluff, he tells you what’s good.

Up to you decide what you want to believe.

This. Freddie Anderson didn't get to UFA and Korpisolo signed for stupid bucks. Maybe something else shakes out over the rest of the summer. I don't want him spending assets just to get another lottery ticket in goal. If UPL isn't good enough by x point in the year, Adams can make a move.

Nah, this is pretty much what I expected.

Looks like an 85-90 point team to me. I hope Donny doesn't take the fall because Adams refused to part with his premium Murrancy

He's probably looking for a long term deal wouldnt you think?

Like 5 for 25 million?

There are a few ufa options that are better than UPL. But I’m going to guess it’s a trade. Possibly a UPL plus for an older goalie that is on a rebuilding team.

Yes he’s definitely the guy who’s been known to pull the trigger mid season when something isn’t working.

That worked out great last year

What is any GM going to say in the spot? If he were shopping for another goalie, would he admit it there?

The plan was to find out about the kids. I know you know this. He isn't the new Darcy or any of that garbage.
