Turns out they had a partner for him in the organization all along. But I bet Adams and crew already knew that.

people forgot what good nhl gm's do

This TDL is reminding me. I still have hope Adams does something of note, but I am getting sick of these idiots online talking about a 3rd for Portillo is some big win.

You traded an earlier 2019 3rd rounder that panned out for a 2023 3rd rounder...that's our big win. Meanwhile Ottawa, the Islanders and even the rebuilding Capitals brought players in.

I get the arguments on either side of the fence outside of those that say standing pat at this point is acceptable in any way. I don't know if there's another franchise in our position that would be this stagnant.

if tage, tuch, dahin, skinner and cozens take a step back from their career years, we are right back to 2021-22

What do you mean?!?! GMKA says playing these "meaningful" games down the streetch (i.e., not playoff games) is how these players will get better from one week to the next. This year is simply making all of those guys you mentioned above better... /s

Does this keep you up at night?

Nino Niederreiter or Tyler Bertuzzi were the insurance if the above happens next year? 😂

Wouldn't the best thing for the future (since you want to win a cup, or at least say you do) to actually have some playoff experience?

I think Cozens took a big leap without playing meaningful games in March last year... Imagine what some playoff hockey would show these nimrods up in the booth.

Wouldn't need another fvcking year of evaluation.

You know, the guy who took Ric Seiling over Mike Bossy and drafted Morris Titanic in the first round.

Speaking of development isn’t linear.

Msamuelsson has been pretty rough this year.

I know we joke about vibes but this is something.


Also they couldn’t have just traded Bjork for him?
