I think "all-in" means at least the following:

- Ehlers, or comparable 2nd line winger
- Strome, Jimmy Hayes or a comparable 3C
- Dowd or comparable 4C
- A couple heavy wingers like Carrier

This has to be do-able, and needs to be done.

- Slump Buster

We shall see, should have started the process 2 off seasons ago. Would have made life easier on himself today

Are they exhuming a body to bring in Jimmy Hayes to Center the 3rd line?

What?

Adams is good because hope still lingers with the prospects...bro check your hairline.

I'd draw a picture if I could. Anyway, I've spent enough time on this.

CBJ home game same night as home MNF game. Great work.

That’s a tough choice lol

Sabres charge half regular season prices as season ticket holders.

Hard time giving them away, especially vs the blue jackets

And now you've moved the goalposts. I said that he has done well at drafting, and all signs indicate the they have. That's all we can do now. You're the one that said he hasn't drafted well.
- Slump Buster

I never said as such I have no idea and we won’t know for another 2 to 3 years probably.

The only thing I’ve said is the pipeline is stacked with the same exact player at F.

if Adams doesn’t get his poop together, he won’t be here to witness it.

So lets get this straight - you are penalizing him because his draft picks are (checks notes) still ascending in the minors? Do you listen to yourself? This isn't football where people come right into the league. I know you know this, but again, you spin it to fit the argument.

Of all of the first and second round draft picks, who isn't trending up? Maybe Palpatov and Kisakov in the second round a few years back? You can nitpick and say that he drafted too many of the same body type, but that's about it.

Of course, never mind that most prospect ratings have us in the top 5 (and many at #1). Its a failure because more 19 and 20 year olds haven't made the big club yet.

This is coming from a person who did this same thing for the last 2 GMs?

Not bad, I'm betting heavy on the Oil to score the 1st goal and win in regulation.

Can’t wait to see what the next GM drafts after he trades what this GM drafted right before they reach their prime and go on to win a Stanley Cup

Except Reinhart because his team traded for Okposo

I am actually kind of hoping that we keep the pick and trade a few of the kids instead. I like the idea of staggering the pipeline a bit.

I believe they are also moving towards an NFL-style event? I won't miss seeing billionaires and their kids make the slow march to the podium.

Yeah, his comments have really resonated with me. So much so I too am rooting for the Oilers now.

How special is it to go see the game? Probably not as special as actually playing in one you goober.

That mofo just says dumb poop. People can say he's extremely well respected around the league if they want, to the younger generation he must give off heavy boomer vibes.

Eichel trade when tuch eas playing good was fine. Then when tuch production took a dive this year. You think “what about krebs”

Greenway blame Granato. He wanted him

Hall only would wave his no trade to go to the bruins. Adams had no leverage. Also hall sucked that year and had like 1 goal.

The situations in the trades do matter on how Adams did on the trade.

Reinhart similar situation. I need to move him and this is what’s being offered.

- Sabretooth9


Not really. It was always a loss. And it was always going to be a loss.

Eichel >>>>> Tuch

Krebs is a nothing. Ostlund might be something someday
