Power ranking who I want Adams to get:

Cirelli from Tampa (cap issues)
Necas ( apparently wants out?)
Keller

- Sabretooth9

Necas wants out. That’s what I read. His dad is grandstanding for him. Wants to be a sc1 & pp1 player. If u get him an offer sheet u at least know he’ll sign it. That probably went over the head when I said it earlier

I don’t think anyone is letting the GM off the hook.

Adams’s rope is firmly around his neck at this point. But Lindy > Donnie should go a long way in solving a majority of the teams issues from last year

If you put 90% of their issues on the coach, you're being way too easy on the GM.

Hate listing injuries at all.

I put it close to 50/50. I waffle on who I blame more. KA hired Donnie, so that earns him extra 'credit'.

Could atleast blame the players a bit, especially after your supposed Captain was plotting his way out in December.

Carolina GM Waddell said they are iin need of a right shot center. Savoie is a right shot center. Necas for Savoie.

After I wrote that I was thinking man that’s too much after Savoie’s season. Then I watched this. Tell me this isn’t exactly what we’re looking for.

And things people b¡tch about with all coaches, like the lines, and playing vets over young guys; I bet if you go back in the archives you'll see most people b¡tching about Lindy's choice of lines when he was here, I definitely remember b¡tching about playing Grigorenko with John Scott

Oh I agree, he's up there on my wish list. Carolina has a few I wouldn't mind. Martinook could be a decent add for the right price

I’d rather see Tage go than Cozens. Tage is probably worth more to another team. I can’t believe Cozens played so bad last year. And it seemed to be due to lack of effort, which is something I never thought would be the case for him. He was ripping on the team for it. Pot calling the kettle black

Regarding offer sheets, the Sabres can do anything. There’s a sweet spot for them between 6.5 to 10.725 where a number of teams aren’t eligible to make the offer. Necas can’t file for arbitration or he won’t be eligible. Why would he if he wants out?

The point is to add to the team.

Add Necas for 11 + Rosen or a B prospect.

Don’t get rid of cozens.

With the rumor of getting rid of skinner. Necas contract shouldn’t be a problem

If necas wants 1C. I have no issues moving tage or cozens to wing

Matt Harmon with perception reception loves Samuel. I trust his judgement. He’s very giddy and excited for him

I think he'd know if an offer sheet was an option before his arb filing date. Wonder if the team considers filing for arb. Think that happened with Tkachuck a few years ago.

Creating cap space isn’t that hard.

Skinner is 9 mill
Clifton 2.75
Greenway 3 mill
Samuelson (based on twitter rumors) is 4.75
