Patience with Power. He’s going to be great imo. No sarcasm, sophomore slump and still played well (read well, not great).

Also patience for a specific player should not be applied to an entire team and/or front office. Every team has young guys that take a little time. If NYR gave up on Laf or LA gave up on Byfield as quickly as we want to ship Power out, oh boy. Add in defense do generally peak at a later age, and he’s nearly a full year younger than Laf, I’m still a believer the sky is the limit for him.

Byram is bad

Pretty wild that so many great players make that list. Maybe that isn't the best indicator of overall talent?

Rangers changed their GM and coach, Kakko and Laf improved

LA fired their coach, Byfield improved

-----

Going off those charts, is this an average season for the talent in Buffalo?

Does Adams plan require more from them, or is proper depth support enough, does that make them cup contenders?

There are still a lot of questions with this roster, under the control of incompetent coaching...it's safe to assume development, if any, will take longer for these players at a minimum.

That's why losing Peca was huge, they have to make adjustments because there coaching is hurting these kids Development. Adams has to realize that.

I really don't know, but I will say this Ellis is a Adams hire and he is still here.

Everything probably goes through Terry for final approval.

Highly doubt it. Adams and granato were extended just a couple weeks apart

Either adams isnt running the organization or he is OK with failure

Beane doesn't even have approval to fire McDerp...Terry's hands are all over both these teams.

He is a GM in title only, in reality he is a shill for a billionaire to throw in front of camera's to face the noise (the little thrown at them by the complacent sports writers in buffalo).

I heard tpegs was up in the box with adams on skinners sacrifice night

Im pretty much at the point where if granato isn't fired I just can't do this anymore. Mountains of evidence proving his time should be up

Jack Quinn isn't even accounted for here, so that's a positive. He's going to freak out next year.

I was very wrong about him vs Rossi and am ok admitting it, even though I still think Rossi can be a good NHLer (I’ve noticed the poopposts about Rossi have stopped since he’s been producing at an NHL level. Insert Bernie gif where I am once again asking for Matt Savoie to become our Marco Rossi)
