He's definitely on the elite side. Hes got a lot of room to be better though IMO. He's also never had a partner that can play on his level until Byram.

Well said. He's there, but sky is still the limit.

LOL

Top-5 couldn't land Zadina after all

At this point could Adam’s land hookers and blow with a fist full of hundreds? I think he finds a way to screw that up too…

I don’t think “elite” forwards by your definition are available in trades .

Dahlin feels elite to me, and he’s a good example of not being available

People say this same comment about a number of things...
-Offer Sheets
-1C
-1RW/1LW
-1st Pairing D
Yet, Adam Fox was traded, ROR was traded and won all the Hardware any player can, Panarin was traded, Bobrovski was traded, Zibanajed was traded.

Those excuses are made by GM's that can not get 'er done

Zadina pto

You’re reaching in my opinion

For Buffalo to acquire an elite player by your definition, we would need to trade tage or dahlin or both.

None of your examples landed in good ole Buffalo.

Also, recognizing the next star player prior to stardom is something Adams and other GMs struggle with. Its future forecasting

This is very good news.
- jochfr

It is!

I was very worried when I didn't see him on the field Saturday.

Stevie Y has $17m available. He can easily match any offer sheet made.
He would have been a decent add.

Out of curiosity, what is a good trade offer for Raymond?

Peterka, Kulich, RyJo and a 1st get it done?

I do understand that these trades aren't done commonly.

However, they ARE in fact made.

Everyone of those players I mentioned are pretty friggin elite.

You sound like Fitz several years ago when I said they needed a high-end 2C and he said they aren't traded. I pulled a list of 17 over 7 years that would have met the qualifications.

Adams sucks. He is not a good GM and the proof is he can't land any trades or FA's for true Top 6 players.

- Boss34

Why? None of those players mentioned cost that if I recall. Please correct me if I'm wrong

No trade clause is a real problem for us but even if its a player that's a step below elite. Adams can not get it done

Would surely get Det to consider, depends on how highly they value Kulich, both Det and Buf.

Ding ding ding ding ding

And the more time that goes on it appears the drafting isn't all that either

Fair. Not sure I'd say yes to it either way, was just curious what was the going cost there.
