Adams doing more in one offseason then he's done in his career to date...?

i know this is a mockable thought but he's never sounded so serious about truly adding to this team from the outside before. ill believe it when i see it, but he's been going hard.

And we shall see.

As someone who firmly hasn’t liked Adams…I think they are pushing chips in this year

He ended last season playing like he wanted out.
- kingcong39


Assuming he goes, I wonder what his next contract looks like. This is a guy that - given his defensive liabilities - could easily turn into a guy that people bring in for a year and not more. I can't see him getting big money from anyone.

You thinking Nick Roy from Vegas?

I’m saying Matt Roy from LA. The RD

- sbroads24



Seventh in the league in blocked shots. Averaged over two hits a game. Yes, Matt Roy.

I doubt half of what I posted actually happens
- sbroads24


skinner yes. joker yes (no commitment the other day, changed agents), krebs... he's a trade asset if buff and wash hook up for dowd.

matt roy makes a lot of sense.

banger in the bottom 6, that's foregone.

the savoie thing is questionable, I think he's their top prospect if levi doesn't count.

ostlund and rosen make the most sense for tradable prospects, I woulda thought maybe kulich would be in that mix.

I would put money in over 50% of those moves happen.

I don't know about that. They have their top centers locked up for forever. I suspect they will get a 3C and 4C with term this offseason. So where would they have room for one? Also, they will still likely have a pretty decent pipeline after the moves are made. Can always make another trade using those pieces.
- Slump Buster


You're expecting a good 3 and 4C with term? My expectations aren't so high. C's are not easy to acquire, we've seen that play out before.

If they expect 2 big adds in UFA, I just worry about what plan B is. Will it be too late again?

he's never been so loud about it. i keep defending adams in this specific facet, he tells you exactly what he's going to do.

he's going for it. and next year, he pushes another gear again or he's fired from this year's failure.

I think that 1C and 2C are the hard ones to fill, as colorado found out. I think that there are a lot of 3Cs out there, and certainly 4Cs.

Matt Roy - 5 or 6 years at $6.5M per...?

Does that push Sammy down to bottom pair?

If you are going after Roy, can't pay everyone.

They gave the patient route a chance, and for a variety of reasons, it didn't work as they hoped. I think the mindset has changed. I know that it has for me.
- Slump Buster

was any other team patient once they got a few top 5 picks?
