That would lead the league by a wide margin. Just 1 a game would put them close to average.

Well they seem to give up a hell of a lot more than the 888 it says. Seemed they gave double that up during the year.

Sounds like the 5v5 number. Obviously a lot come on the PP.

Asked this morning if they struggle to evaluate, make decisions, or make actual moves. I get the feeling it's following through and making the moves, but I'm not sure.

When you extend VO for 2 years, it tells me someone got the evaluation right. Short term deals scream that on a few guys.

- Lunaion


Yeah i think its making moves too. It's possible it's driven by the idea that they overvalue their own guys because of how well they are perceived to draft and develop players.

My thinking is more that he's not good at making trades.

it's also not uncommon. I know there are some instances where a GM can see the project all the way to the end, from teardown to contention, but just as many if not more instances where different people are responsible for different parts of the time line.

His story about not getting the same offer on Chychrun raised some eyebrows.

they are still acting like the sens gave up 2 top 10 picks for him

it was a first round pick, a second round pick next year and a second round pick in 2026

The going rate for Adams was a 1st and 1st round talented prospect.

He literally said it in his press conference

Damn the Stadium is approaching 300mill over Budget already. Saying they waited to long to take a bid on 1 peticular thing and it came in 75mill more than they were expecting with Material and Labor cost.

We all were done with Darcy but the Sabres would have made the playoffs at some point in the last 12 if he had been GM for two more years

Isn't the running joke that he's currently gm right now?

All kidding aside, he wouldve gotten cooked. He was able to make things work at a time where there were so many inefficiencies that nobody had even talked about yet.

League's come a ways since then. During Darcy's era Olofsson gets a 1st rounder. Now nobody will even take him without retention. Even the worst GMs know better.

I think Darcy/Kyvyn would have been the perfect person to complete the teardown and start the rebuild in earnest. Adams has done a "Gaustad-for-a-first" type job on the Eichel tear down.

Now they need a chain-smoking, beer drinking Tim Murray to cast aside some prospects and get this poop cooking with gas. Murray was two years too early. Adams has waited two years too long

If he's just been hunting for a bargain for 2 years, I could could see them getting really sick of his calls.

Had me in the first half lol.

I dont mind getting a GM who shoots from the hip as they say, but I need it to be one just a little smarter than Tim.

They're two sides of the same coin honestly. One guy potentially too high on his own prospects, unwilling to move unless its the perfect deal. Then the other guy, prepared to give up everything for specific players, not cause theyre good or good fits, just cause he likes them.
