Sounds like a threat

No need to insult each other or threaten.

I don’t remember them being flawed.

Buffalo didnt have the luxury of signing a #1 D cause the team they were on was to cheap to pay up.

I dont see anyone thanking whoever the GM was before Zito for the drafting of their top players.

both teams started building where Buffalo started tearing down to build back up properly.

So you do admit you just threatened me?

I remember how refreshing it was that you had some expectations of him going in to the offseason. What changed?
- Lunaion

I liked clifton , still like Clifton. Nothing changed.

Good signing, he's gonna be excellent in donnie's system.

I'm excited , just like everyone else.

Except a few miserable turds.

Sounds like Buffalo management failed at selling their plan to ownership

Easy to move on from this. You choose.

Considering Terry hasn't pushed the accelerate button this time around, that would seem to be false.

The plan was to build up slowly. The building up has been completed. Or so they say.

Time to win is now

Why would he want to be here 5 more years if he thinks were wasting this year? Would he not just take his ARB to FA?
- DirtyDan

Well he just might especially if he doesn't here what he wants.

Well, Peterka hasn't set the world on fire, yet he's still very young...the comments that Peca made about him being a unicorn still sticks in my mind.
I am hopeful he will be a long termer here playing 3rd or 2nd line minutes.

He literally set the world on fire at the IIHF world cup!

What could we get for Dahl?

Gmka has just inked our 1st and 2nd centers for 8 years for the same price as our arch rivals mapleleafs paid for just 1 center in Matthew's.


I'd say he's a great negotiator.
- Boss34

And already said they were good deals, they really have nothing to do with Dahlin.

Better GM's used better plans and were successful in the same time window with less. Pushing the blame on Terry exposes how Adams is just a yes man.

With less?


Thats a knee slapper.

Prospect pool was barren, The "top 3" players all asked to be traded. How did those other teams start with less or even worse situations.

They're young, growing and have a coaching staff that knows how to push the right buttons apparently...

- DirtyDan

Can he start pushing the Defense button?

Slap away, its true

Was just a general discussion a week or two ago. Some FAs would've been nice, but it wasn't like we could afford to give Killorn a 4 year 6.5M deal. Orlov wanted to stay on Boston or go to a contender. I guess it includes all options that aren't pretty easily thrown out...like we weren't going to sign ROR despite him being an upgrade over Krebs. Gudas was a good option, but we weren't giving him $4M on a multi year deal at his age. Basically, everyone we went through outside Petry and DeSmith either weren't big upgrades, were 4th liners or just simply weren't signing for a non SC contender. Very little "fell through the cracks" on Adams.

Because he was FA and maybe if we looked more ready he would have considered us

Year 4 and free agents still need to be overpaid to consider Buffalo

Not sure how we could compete with the Stars on that front.

They already have everything. Proved they could make the finals. Their 24 year old goalie held them back in the playoffs.
