Jacob Trouba was an absolute stud in Winnipeg.

Got the $$$$ then turned into Jacob Troubistolainen.

If people want to say they should have signed Radko Gudas, I can accept that. He’s been great this year and plays with an edge.

I’m not going to sit here though and pretend Trouba at $8M per year is a good idea.

It wasn't at 8mill a year, the trade was made with 2mill retention on it.

Trouba at 8 is more effective for the Sabres than Skinner/Samuelsson/and if they extend Mitts for anything more than 6.5.

I'll die on the Quinn hill.

I'd like to know what exactly his surgery was. Even if it doesn't matter to you.

It's a small hill so should be a quick death.

So he had the Hernia the first year in the AHL right? That led to only 15 games? Cause he reaggravated it or something ?

Then gets mono(not an injury) his sophomore season in the AHL which is why he only played 45?

Then plays a full season (press box time).

Hurts his achilles training, not going to fault him for that. Comes back blazing and gets planted doing a spin-o-rama, leg ends up in the boards first.

Its not like he takes a bump and is out for 5 games like Samuelsson. Guy has 2 seasons between actual injuries. And the first year that could happen at any point to any player.

I just dont see the prone-ness. Guy went 2 seasons without getting hurt.

- DirtyDan


He didn't. So focused on the big injuries that missing a month doesn't make the list.

Jack Quinn has an injury to his lower body. The expected duration is 4 weeks.

Funny all this started because I made some fake trades on Capfriendly
Mitts to Vegas for there 1st And Kaeden Korzack
Johnson to Dallas for a 2025 5th
Krebs and Joker to the Rangers for Trouba and 2mill Retained. This last trade was from a Rangers fan. I just accepted it.
Thoughts were for the know and the future

All these would be great. Do you give Trouba the C when he gets to Buffalo?

You know the rules. Pick a name and get jumped on.

Rasmus Andersson is a unicorn. Even then, no one will agree on what it would take.

This is a playoff team with Hellebuyck. Trading for him caused a war.

No, I let him worry about Mentoring Dahlin and Power.

The Sabres have potential in the system...that's it. Fans are hoping that translates to helping the Sabres win. Potential has been in abundance for 13 years now though...with nothing but hope still.
- washedup20


Wrong.
GMTM blew the Potential out the window when he traded every asset he could find.

The next guy took 13 years to evaluate the existing roster, then talk for 14 months to make a trade...his drafts were just ok, although several were pretty good.

Adams is doing well at the Draft Table, but sucks at FA and Trades. Hence why there is so much Potentail

Maybe he needs it to wake up...why are we celebrating an 18 year old surviving in the league on a bottom 5 team, when the team had playoff expectations.

He shouldn't be here, I don't give a crap about any individual, the roster is mess, if a player is on it, they deserve criticism

- washedup20


Have you noticed a difference in his game from the start of the year through game 45 or w/e it is?
I have, they are coaching his dynamic game out of him
Thant isn't on him, that is on the Coaches for his lackluster play/results.

I've provided the draft success percentage awhile ago, it's not good. Your assuming good while having close to 0 evidence to suggest otherwise...majority of players Adams has drafted remain in the potential department. Don't look outside the 1st round either, its ugly.

KA's big hit was a Kreuger pick. Go figure.

KA is a budget JB.

It is why I try to talk in terms of position, skills or other player attributes rather than names...not going to do it, nope, not going to do it
