Year | UFA signings | RFA signings | Trades

2020 8 9 2

2021 14 5 10

2022 11 8 3

2023 12 6 13

A good % of both UFA and RFA are resigns of players already in the organization. With all those UFA's only 1 is still on the roster. Both years where he traded more, were years he had to tear down his roster due to losing.

The roster has 10 openings, 5 being RFA's:

Krebs
Bryson
Clague
Joker
UPL

Adams needs to add 8 players to the roster, with the assumption that UPL and Krebs get resigned.

Which route do you feel most confident in for Adams taking to fill those openings?

Peterka-Thompson-Tuch
Benson-Cozens-One
Skinner or Prospect-Two-Quinn
Three-Krebs-Four or Greenway
Five and/or Rousek

Byram-Dahlin
Samuelsson or Six-Power
Johnson/Samuelsson-Clifton
Larry Bryson

UPL
Levi (I have no idea if they're doing Levi or 1 year UFA)

Think you top out at 6 here. Four minimum.

No Donnie? That's surprising:

If that's the roster, they won't make it to Christmas.

The guy born in Chicago didn't make Team Canada? I know Chicago, SASK is small but (frank), what a snub

honestly and sincerely what more did you expect beyond what I wrote out?

Maybe a veteran Skinner replacement instead of prospect but I won't hold my breath.

I've been waiting for A Good Day™ for... going on a year now.

I have 0 expectations when it comes to this front office, other than promoting from within after failure.

IMO that 3rd line gets slaughtered. Which has been the case for years now with the team. The 4th line is an odd mix, not really sure what to expect there.

Even 4 moves, which those are pretty good, is a lot to ask from Adams.

Adams career UFA signings is an ugly read,

His top pay outs:

- Taylor Hall
- Connor Clifton
- Erik Johnson

Granato wanted Clifton. Blame him

Henrique is old and slow and on the verge of retiring

Guess, still plays 16min a night and had 51 pts. 53% on the Dot and good Defensively.

Benson and Henrique are both decent 200ft players, and Henrique is good on the Dot

on the top pk team in the playoffs

second team pp for the 2nd best pp in the playoffs

all around good center

he would be fine for a 1 year deal on the third line IMO

Why would Jersey trade Bratt? Their draft approach is exactly the same as ours.

- homiedclown

Could, I just wanted to put a shooter on that line because both Benson and Henrique are decent passers

- TheSabresTaco

Because I want it, but No. I thought it was funny Bratt was brought up and like I mentioned before last week Ruff is enamored with him.

Found out yesterday I have a personal connection to him (friend of friend type).. kid is a super cool guy. Would be thrilled to play for Buffalo but that's irrelevant. Think almost any kid would say that.

Sabres definitely have interest.
- TheSabresTaco

Think they will have to trade up if they want to draft Iginla.

Granato wanted Clifton. Blame him
- Sabretooth9

The above is a crock of poop, unless you're on board with a GM who has no spine to say no.

The GM gets zero blame for consistently bending over backwards to try and make everyone happy instead of focusing on making the best moves possible to produce the best hockey team on ice?

Is Adams your Father or something 🤔

Would you try to trade up if Lindstrom say fell to 8 ?
