From what I’ve been told. I golfed with my buddy over the weekend is.

Adams is very content with the roster and the way it is.


Unless some magically offer comes for a top 6 forward. He is happy to go with this team into camp the way it is.

(Obviously with Krebs being the last piece)

Been saying this for a bit now.
Say hello to one of Rosen or Kulich... Zucker moves up, one of those guys on the 3rd

if and it's a big if

if you have something with shakir and coleman, they are in nice shape cap wise which is needed in a cap era when you are paying your franchise qb for a few years with offense

shakir is on a cheap deal for next year

kincaid and coleman for 3 years

bills have an option year after on kincaid


of course the d needs to step up and earn their checks now

- homiedclown


I honestly think the Bills offense will be good with the weapons we have.

Lots of speed and size.

Our WRs will actually get separation this year.

they have to have a pretty reasonable amount of faith in one of those two to be "comfortable" rolling into the season. because last I checked, he wanted a top 6. They have the money for a Farabee or Vatrano.

You're telling me Farabee would cost a first, and 2 roster players? I dont see it


A guy who doesn't play pk, isn't good defensively, isn't good on the pp.

- DirtyDan


I think Farabee's value is close to that of Samuelsson. Buff36 has mentioned Attard (RD that is at the point of being in the NHL). So since we have extra forwards, I proposed Samuelsson + Krebs for Farabee + Attard. Question mark is what will Attard be a 3rd pair ceiling or an eventual 2nd pair RD. I'm pretty sure Flyers would like another center (so Krebs might need to be part of the deal), and I've heard they like both Krebs and Samuelsson.

they never planned to use the cap savings from the skinner buyout for this season

chiefs got rid of hill and then won 2 super bowls

perhaps by removing diggs we have more options now

Interested to see how much Brady has changed the Scheme. With the group they have seem to be a intermediate passing attack, with some YAC.

Numbers say the offense was worse under Brady last year.

We will see if that holds true.

Yeah, see what a whole Offseason does. Hard to put what you want in half way through a Season.

Lindy didn’t want skinner

Nothing to do with cap savings

What's best case scenario for them?

Selling off Greenway in favor of Kulich? Or selling off Greenway(+) for a guy like Farabee, who puts up 50-60 points right now. Then what do you have next year?

Peterka-Thompson-Tuch
Farabee-Cozens-Quinn
Benson-McLeod-x
Larry^3

Then it's a battle next year for that spot. This year as well if you use Greenway.

They didn't want 9 million dollars making a third line impact.

The 2025 #1 overall pick directly steps into the lineup, pushing the prospect pool back to the #1 spot next offseason.

terry didn't want lindy before he wanted him back


gonna be a tough pill to swallow if skinner raised the cup in 11 months and puts up a 70 point season and we miss out on the playoffs again

So now the question becomes, when do you pick Kincaid? Is he considered TE3?

I have kelce and laporta 1 and 2 in the top tier


the next 3, andrews, mcbride and kincaid are all in the next tier and on best balls I am targeting 2 of those after kelce and laporta are gone



I have gone hall/robinosn allen, kincaid and mcbride as my first 4 picks in many 10 team best ball rosters

Yeah, the skinner move wasn’t made to “improve” the team and spend the $ on a different player

why have dahlin, tage, power, etc if you are still not going to ice the best team possible and compete for a cup

I think that is what is frustrating half of the base on this board

not that they moved skinner

but once again this summer we are trying to get that 7th or 8th seed again this spring instead of aiming the bar higher and trying to compete for a cup and once again in a cap era leaving all that cap space on the table

rant over

that's not what third liners do unless you have vanek on the third line and you are rolling 3 lines

They may say this is their goal, but we all know it's not. What was the line? Economic and efficient?
