Every single player in today’s league was once drafted, a small collection were undrafted, prospects with potential.

Adams threw up on himself this year in free agency and didn’t make any trades.

That’s why we suck.

Not because our prospects are on a normal developmental curve

This is a massive part of the problem, but their problems are not isolated to this alone.

There are lots of words that aren't cool to use as descriptive of people.

I'm not arguing any of this, just the bolded.

Adams kicked that door down when he made all 3 picks at the 22' draft.

I'm not sure what you mean.

When he made those picks, the organization was still properly seen at the 'draft and develop' phase of whatever rebuild you want to number this.

Now that those three players as used in the example have had some development time, now is the time to consider including, potentially, one of those three, or another highly touted prospect to make yourself better today.

Even a Old Slow Horse should be able to get a Apple Occasionally playing with Tage and Skinner.

adams was beating off when he read on here that he was having a "top 3" offseason in the eastern conference

we can't even pass the habs in the standings and the sens are a week away from catching us

it's easy to bang on okposo but he has 3 goals in his last 5 games

how many has skinner, tage or cozens had in their last 5 games?

I am too lazy to look it up


so then I looked it up
2 for cozens
1 for tage
0 for skinner


so okposo in 5 games has scored as many times as all three of the players that are signed to take use to the promised land

- homiedclown


Tage has 2 points in his last 10.

Skinner in the 6 games he’s played in since returning from injury has 1 point.

Cozens has 10 points in his last 10 games

It doesn't take 5 years to build a team in the NHL. GM's average tenure is 5 years, who waits that long to even consider competing? Year 3 was lightning in a bottle, imagine if they had NHL support last year vs potential of prospects?

Adams wouldn't budge on his plan...year 4 is proving that was a huge mistake. The plan was flawed from the beginning and the 22' draft was the catalyst to extending the rebuild to 5 years when a competent NHL GM would have made more prudent moves..

Oh I see what you mean now. That's a matter of opinion. I don't really agree or disagree, because there's a 1000 ways to skin a Donny.

I will say, again, that he has mismanaged this franchise, with uncle terry's blessing. Because he's a (frank)ing cuck.

This is quickly turning into Everyone Yell at Washy Day and I don't like it. I don't think anyone can begrudge a pessimistic outlook at this point. Let's keep the ad hominem attacks to a minimum please.

Otherwise Stripes will come out of the darkness with the ban hammer.

Top line with Okposo has been bad. No shock there.

No, I got mine today actually. I actually got my Notice last week for payments. Maybe they are doing them in cycles.
