Management requirements are revolutionary as well, you need to be balding along with 15 years experience using:

UFAs are actually interested in Buffalo. Their own words now instead of reporters.

Erik Johnson called buddies on the Avs to get their opinion: "I called a lot of my old teammates and I was bouncing the teams off some of them. All of them really said Buffalo’s a team on the rise. That’s not a secret anymore. People know that the Sabres are coming."

Erik Johnson says he had 5 or 6 options in free agency and Buffalo was at the top of the list.

He says the Sabres remind him of Colorado when they were building.

It's always something, isn't it?

So two weeks ago there was a narrative that free agents won't want to come here. So now one wants to come here, and when asked why, said that everyone he talked to said that we are on the rise. But that couldn't possibly be true because we may have offered him the most.

It is a massive stat and value. Especially on special teams, including PK where we struggled more than all but two basement teams

no, it isn't. There are no stats to back up this claim.

I couldn't be less curious. If I go out with a date with a girl and we end up in bed together, the last thing I am going to curious about is to how much she likes me as opposed to another guy.

I think it’s a great question. That should be obvious to anyone as it would reveal the actual truth.

It’s better to just say guys want to come here now.

Even though Adams admitted today that he tried convincing forwards to come here yesterday and struck out.

He was a Sabre for 5 days and I don’t believe he ever suited up.

Kevyn Adams only dates phone sex operators.

He’s got a lot of general hockey knowledge, and provides great insight on individual players, but is complete unable to formulate and adhere to a logically consistent debate. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone more inept at arguing. I’ve stopped trying.

It isn't up to me to prove that they don't matter, it is up to you to prove that they do. This is why the analytics exist: it tells us things that might be contradictory to what we assume to be true. Getting that small increase in win % does almost nothing in the grand schemed of things because you're only talking about maybe one more faceoff win a game. Also, if you went out and got yourself a mullet whose only redeeming quality is that extra .05 on a win percentage, you've done yourself a disservice because your team may have gotten kicked in the face after the faceoff.

Well, yes, every GM in the league yesterday tried to get multiple other players to come to their team and were not successful in getting all of them. I can't fathom what your point is.
