detroit giving up and selling is a little strange

maybe puts it in to perspective a bit, and i think its a point schopp made that is hard to swallow

the drought means nothing to the team, only to the fans. making the playoffs this year isn't really the goal. is draft picks for chikorin really worth losing to boston in the first round, or is it better off saving assets for the offseason for a RD and a better fit instead?

i'm in bargaining stage of grief btw

Of course it means nothing to the players.

It should mean something to the owner and GM. They should read the room.

It’s just all around dumb not to improve when you can.

Is the entire Tampa and Boston roster retiring at years end?

Bergeron probably retiring
Pasta has openly said he won't resign there while sweeney is still GM
Marchand... well he'll be there for a minute.

I'm not going to say they're going to look like the Blackhawks in a couple years. They have a prime, strong defense. Goaltending will probably hold up because of the D. But the offense has real potential to lose most of its gas in the next 2-3 years, and unless they pull a Chicago and get delusional about their window, they'll have nothing to replace these stars with.

I mean for Bertuzzi I'm not using the Sabres 1st. That's bad asset management.

It's a protected '24 1st...

don't get me wrong, if they just simply use all three 2nd round picks this year and dont trade for an upgrade on defense and/or goalie the it is an abysmal failure

but if they do make those moves in the offseason, then the plan might be fine, we are just too desperate to see a playoff series to see it

Everyone has a plan. Ours is no more special than any other teams.

We need to stop pretending like we’re the only one with a special master plan

when you look at the best D cores next year.... Ottawa will be there and it could have easily been us.

I dunno bout that

Still waiting for the Bills *process* to take hold.

Still.

He's overrated.

Gibson Comtois

I’ve been wanting Gibson I feel like for 1-2 years now lol

If we miss out on chicken man and Gibson or Demko

All is forgiven by Adams by hockeybuzz. (Which I am actually not mad at him)

I dunno bout that

Chabot Sanderson Che Karen...... pretty great for the next decade

Still.

He's overrated.

One of the top hockey organizations in the NHL believes otherwise.

Of course it means nothing to the players.

just trade dahlin and tuch this summer

Is Adams gonna have the balls to make trades when the window opens?

This team aint never gonna win a cup.

My problem isn't that they didn't land Chychrun. There are players of his caliber available every year in some way, shape or form. My problem is that Adams has not shown a single indicator that he has the intestinal fortitude to make a move like that. He's been given an extension for doing nothing other than letting things play out. Why should he change?

All the "vibes" this season is the off-ice equivalent of admiring your pass. Eventually, it gets you in trouble.

Well

This team aint never gonna win a cup.

So you're saying there's a chance?

he's done everything he said he was going to do since he got started here.

that also includes speaking about 'going for it' when the team is ready to do so.

considering he's kept his word so far, annoyingly enough, i believe he will do so when the time comes.

again, something zero people want to hear.

trade for (frank)ing saros

Not to mention Carolina, New Jersey, Toronto -and potentially Ottawa will be moving in to those spots that Tampa and Boston occupy.

So did Botts.

I had a hard enough time finding room for Timo, (frank).

This took about 5 minutes to not be true.

Pasta just resigned in Boston.

So did Botts.
- sabresfan69

once botts left the draft table, he lodged his head firmly up his own ass.

But he has done everything he said he was going to do so we should just be thankful and eat our gruel.
