Absolutely false. Bylsma, Housley, Ralph Kruger, and Granato were all under contract. He ate the money on those contracts.

Granatos contract extension didn’t even kick in yet

front office wise: besides Adams. We have 4 assistant Gms promoted to keep them around and 2 extremely well known analytics guys.

Adams is the only odd man that makes no sense
- Sabretooth9

Yet Lindy didn’t choose any assistants for his staff and Appart was promoted. And this is after Peca expressed interest in being on the bench coaching but we couldn’t force Matt freaking Ellis, with basically zero coaching experience into the press box.

The bottom line is the organization is a disaster and it starts and ends with Terry and it will not change until Terry changes something that doesn’t have a Pegula running things.

Out of this whole time, when have we basically not been rebuilding. Does effect how much you spend.

they were not rebuilding when they had eichel, reinhart,kane, ror etc

they just sucked

they were not rebuilding when they got hall, hell they thought they were competing for the cup that season

they were not rebuilding last season or this season, it's rounding out the roster as they have their core laid out and locked up already


I am done with everyone giving the players, the owners and the gm excuses

they have everything they need in place to be a decent team and instead it's lets try to get the 7th or 8th seed

They had No D, and there bottom 6 sucked. So maybe 2 years we were rebuilding.

What could have been… team was primed for him to take over off the heels of what he did in another smaller market.

his meeting took less time then he spent in his car driving over the grand island bridge

Sure, he definitely is trusting Adams to much. Doesn't mean he's not willing to spend. Unfortunately just means your bad hire is failing and you are to afraid to recognize it because of the Relationship built.
- Buff36

That would at least be better in the sense that a good GM could turn this around. Internal cap teams never win, so it's a better option.

Issues that could have been fixed if TM hadn't traded it away.

Middle six winger: Vlad Tarasenko
Still available

Darcy started the Tear Down, TM tried and destroyed the Foundation, Botts was trying to rebuild it and Adams has been stuck in it. Say about 12 years.

And weren’t Murray and Botts forced to change their plans due to Pegs meddling?

Then Pegs gets mad when the plan he forced failed and on to the next.

And I’m not really sure what Adam’s plan is… or what type of team he is trying to build.

botts tried to make the playoffs his last year

adams did when he got hall and his last 2 years

murray tried to make it once he got eichel

just because they ran it bad, does not mean they were not "trying"

@JFreshHockey
Anton Lundell, signed 6x$5M by FLA, is a young two-way centre who kills penalties. Hasn't been a prolific producer or chance creator yet but chipped in at clutch moments in the 2024 Cup run. #TimetoHunt

@JFreshHockey
Among 176 forwards with 1800+ 5v5 minutes, Lundell ranks 159th in points per 60, and the underlyings back it up. This is a player who will need to grow into this deal, but the potential is there.
