Me too.
I thought we were over this constant BS, yet here we are.

I'm sure Terry isn't happy, but they are only 1 year deals for 60% of the season.
The money shouldn't be the point per se, the suspect decision making should be the point of contention.

Every season Adams has overpaid UFA’s who instantly fail. This season it’s the focus due to his failures everywhere else in the organization.

the frustration comes from the fact that this is the team the gm constructed with the coach he picked

you can't flip over half the roster to try to find chemistry

you locked up your core

and it still stinks


I get half the prospects adams got over the years are not ready yet but......
he has already locked up a chunk of the core and the average nhl gm tenure is 3 1/2 years not 7

Kane had 2 more points last night

that makes 13 in 12 games

that production would help a team struggling to score

Yupp, what are the odds the Adams offered more $ and Kane still said no?

They definitely offered more dollars, and they were originally going to offer a 2nd year as well, but they backed away from that.

You know the rest of the story from there.

I will say 5 percent


he goes after guys like greenway, stillman, clifton, erik johnson and robinson

the lack of getting top end talent vs fringe nhl players shows arrogance in the gm believing in the current core

- washedup20

odd

usually an assistant gets the bump up for the game

That’s exactly what I thought

Ottawa wouldn't consider it for Cozens.

Why would they for Mittelstadt?
- kingcong39

Figured there were adds to Cozens, I'd just rather add to Mitts and given Cozens' downturn, I wonder who has greater value. I'd assume Cozo is still the more valuable piece, but I didn't think the gap wasn't bridgeable.

So meatball's big change to the PP was swapping Dahlin and Power. Whatever.

Wouldn't their contract situations make the difference rather large?

Lol benching granato in an effort to avoid another embarrassment?

Or will the team still sleepwalk tonight

I agree 100%, piss poor decisions on who to bring in and how much to pay.

Is this a sign of how much confidence the organization has in the assistant coaches here?

Do you really think Washington or anyone will give us a 3rd rounder for Olofsson?

I think we either get a 6-7th at the trade deadline or he walks to free agency

No, but I can hope, and it was a extra 3rd for them. And they need scoring help.
