I would hope Adams wants better! I will say this LOUDLY. The only thing that matters is who will Say YES to coming to the Buffalo Sabres.
IMO Adams has not delivered enough to make this a appealing place. Was Ruff brought in hoping his Name will get someone to say YES.

If the plan is to get tougher to play against in the bottom 6, Denault would be the only option I see that plays a different type of game.

Trading out Mitts for Byram, then trading R Johnson for a Mitts replacement and having it all balance out to all players who are generally the same, while taking an entire year to make these two moves seems like extremely inefficient lateral moves.

This is very exciting

Would it surprise you ? He might actually say Yes

He's been lateral or bellow that line for 2 years. Adams has done nothing to make it appealing, and then your former Captain, A Guy you had to have back BECAUSE OF HIS LEADERSHIP comes out and says he was basically planning his out in November. What the F@ck are FA's gonna think seeing that.

Can't afford it after Duct Tapping The Crossroads. Just a few Add ons to Eric Johnson’s Deluxe model were in the Budget.

Both Danault and EE have NTCs so I highly doubt either is coming. I'm sure Adams is having some of his famous conversations though
- Hank Balling

Eriksson Ek's NTC doesn't kick in until the new league year begins.

That would mean Adams needs to move fast 🤣

If he pulled that off, I might not say a nasty word the rest of the Year. Maybe!

Just makes no sense to me. Great middle center, great contract. Expires when he's 31. Doesn't play a rough game so there's probably not a durability issue.

Just makes no sense to me why they'd be willing to do that. It would cost a significant amount.

Better chance at Rossi

Adams seems comfortable Trading with certain People, needs to broaden his horizon

dont know why they'd want to trade him either.

if we're going to play the minnesota game today, hartman is the one who actually makes some sense.

Gretzky did it in 18 games. McDavid already 23.

We really gonna go here? Moron.

Either do I, But he was in rumors Yesterday. Been linked to Calgary and Philadelphia. Believe clown brought it up awhile ago.

And agree on Hartman, but he wasn't part of the convo mostly.

well let's see. He's traded with Bill Guerin twice, Bill Zito 4x, Chuck Fletcher, Kelly McCrimmon, Danny Briere, Mike Grier, The Beek, Rob Blake, Jim Nill and Don Sweeney. Probably missing a couple minor things.

I don't really see an issue with the selection of GMs. Just more so the actual lack of substance. Plenty of selling and FCs. Less than two weeks to flip the script.

Help a friend trades!

So if it's Hartman where does he fit, how does he change the makeup.

A hit per game. He plays more wing than center. And when he does take faceoffs his % ain't better than what we have.

You still need a 3C after him.

Hope it's one of the other 2. Rossi back with Quinn or Erik Ek.

Hartman > Girgensons

No matter how it happens and that’s a start.

Just got the text It’s Chiqorin.

Well I guess that makes it somewhat more interesting. Does 11 and Savoie get it done?

One guys a bottom line player another is a top 9 maybe top 6. They play opposite sides. Shouldn't even be compared.

I mean to what extent can you build through the draft?

We have a million prospects and none of them have shown they are going to be “good nhlers” yet.

I’m talking about guys in roch. Not Quinn and JJ. The guys who haven’t graduated.

At some point one them will have to turn the corner and take a big leap
- Sabretooth9

Dahlin, Peterka, Quinn, Power, UPL, Levi, Benson, Cozens...about to get RyJo, probably at least one of Rosen, Kulich or Savoie. You can't say you aren't talking about guys that graduated...they are building blocks and some really good picks in there.
