Kinda new to this page just wanted to ask what’s about to come? I’m sure you can say seeing nobody here actually knows you in person

I do, or at least did.

Used to talk to him frequently when we both joined the site prior to him moving to Cali.

Lines of communication have been spotty at best the last 4-5 years but I know enough that I can assure you he has connections.

Fwiw

Getting tired of hearing from Adams "Players Need To Want to Play In Buffalo".
No they don't, it's your JOB as GM to make them want to come here. Why come here when you have Failed your job miserably, stop being scared to lose a Trade and close a Deal. It might help with the appeal part to come to Buffalo and attracting other players.

To bad those connections can't close a Deal

We traded a position of need (a top 6 forward) for redundancy, another LHD puck moving dman. Yes that is embarrassing. A GM that doesn't even understand it's own organizational needs.

When half your LHD prefer playing on the right side = not a factor

Well unless Kevyn finds a way to fill 2 middle six players that can replace Mitts and Skinner's Production. That trade might not look so good.

Sabres removed between probably 110 to 120pts this off-season. Adams has wholes to fill and doesn't seem to be able to do that. Will someone please say YES to Adams

even if he landed a big fish winger

swapping that winger for skinner
promoting krebs to 3rd line and adding a 4th liner is not going to fill the void between us being a lottery team and a cup contender

per espn

Former No. 1 NFL draft pick JaMarcus Russell was fired as a volunteer assistant coach at his alma mater, Williamson High School in Mobile, Alabama, and is facing a lawsuit accusing him of taking a $74,000 check meant as a donation to the school.

"JaMarcus Russell was relieved of his volunteer coaching duties at Williamson High School during the fall of last year," Mobile County Public School officials told WKRG Sports.

A local business owner, Chris Knowles, wrote the $74,000 check, saying Russell approached him about a donation to help the Williamson football team purchase weight room equipment. The school allegedly never received the check, and Russell reportedly deposited it in a credit union and promptly withdrew $55,000 of it.

We are screwed, I mean look what happened like 30 seconds after Buffalo makes that trade. We wasted a 2nd rnd pick on someone he should have given one of the extra 4ths for. People saying Well it was a Free pick. Screw that especially when you use it on a Door Stop. Only thing Adams weaponizes is his Sauna

I don’t hate the pick and some nhl media guys actually really liked the Sabres draft. (Not the best draft but 4th or 5th best draft)

I was more putting it out there because of the Yellow Jacket. Adams should be Wearing a Real Bright Yellow one. Cause he's Spineless

Honestly if he overpaid stamkos for two years then signed Domi, and the hopeful improvement in some of our young guys I think we could be ok. No way he could ever pull that off though
- Fattony1187

why do any of you think Stamkos would sign here?

Rainbows and Lollipops.
Plus Hank was passing around something and I started seeing Pink Buffalo's. So that was a Aura telling me Stamkos was coming riding SirFallsAlot to Buffalo

His Grandfather only came here to watch a game because he's cheap, retired and old.

Half the board saw it as as prophecy.

Hmm, spend less than $100 and drive an hour and a half South or stay home and spend $1000 to be miserable.

Easy choice. Though Pegulaville stays at his inlaws and tries to talk down to random internet strangers, so I suppose there's some discourse there that Canadians love sitting at home and spending money doing nothing.

I think there's a breathing tax up there. Just a roomer I heard.

Could be scratching Necas of any possibility chart here soon.

I scratched him off the second it was suggested.

They absolutely should fire Adams after Friday and Saturday.

Trading the 11th to move back a day before the draft, acquiring a 2nd rounder to trade for a career AHL grinder and openly admitting to not being able to close a deal are enough to fire him.

The guy is completely in over his head, completely clueless on how to do his job, is asking advice from his coach on how to build an NHL roster and literally everything else he has done with the organization has been a complete failure.

He is that cousin you had that was still pooping their pants into 9th grade. He's the one who eats expired cottage cheese in your fridge when he comes over to visit. Then lays on the couch watching your TV and moaning for hours how he's sick.

I just seriously cannot believe how much the guy sucks at his job, and I think everyone sucks at their job.

Pretty spot on

How did he leverage Adams? Skinner refused to waive his no trade clause.

If Skinner wanted out he could have waived but he didn't
- sabresfan69

Right, he used his clause against adams like everyone else does allegedly and leveraged himself into a buyout

It is what it is. Adams better have some tricks up his sleeve or this is shaping up to be worse than last offseason

I honestly can’t imagine any decent free agent signing here. Unless we massively massively over pay.

Can Kane and Stamkos type players say no to 7-10 + mill

Skinner is addition by subtraction. He's not a top 6 player in the other 175 feet of ice. Which is why Carolina let him go for a fully stocked soda machine. The only coach to get it right since he was desperately signed was Kreuger. Let him go... the Sabres are drastically better off not having the highest paid glider in the league telling young entry level players that this type of game is acceptable and lucrative.

I think it’s harder than you think.

Think about the bills before Allen and after Allen

The bills had to massively overpay players to sign here.

Now with Allen, players come and take pay cuts

Sabres are in the pre Allen era and we sold out Allen to Vegas
