He's more American

If he was Canadian then we’d really be getting somewhere 😛

Mmeehhh. I thought Boosh-can was coming on after he got healthy. Might have moved Bryson over Boosh, but end of the day they are 5-6 d men…. And we have enough of those.

I’d still like to see a true top 4 add.

But I guess we will let Clifton and Joker battle for that spot and hope Samuelson can stay healthy.


How about a goalie move now?

A Quinn replacement that isn’t Olo?

Happy he cleaned up the d a bit. Sad I never got to hear Boosh-cans goal song

The Sabres weren’t paying for another top 4 d this summer that was making 5 - 6 million +++

If you add in Dahlin + power extensions ….. Adams would have way too much of the cap dedicated to the defense

The Clifton cap his is the sweet spot and Erik Johnson is 1 year.

If only it was at home to hear the goal song.

Lol no

He was significantly worse than johnson. Think EJ was like a -1 GAR and Lyubushkin was just a shade under -10.

Ej greater than injured Boosh.

Ej against a healthy Boosh… might be a push. Add in vibes. And well, Boosh, he gone

Gummy bear song would have been electric.

Buying a 4th round pick though in a cap strapped world isn’t the end of the world though

Johnson is hardly the picture of health himself. He's never once played a full season even a shortened one, and he's missed 66 games the past 3 years. Granted 52 came 3 years ago, but he's also 35.

They didn't have to, they could have gotten one for 2.3mill

Lybushkin got the same return as definitive top 4 d-man Jeff Petry.

Not bad for a cap dump.

GM’s can make trades past July 7th after all.

$9M in cap space, what comes next 👀👀

Sure he did, just had to have 2 retentions on it. But it's nice having that 2025 4th.

They let the mascot in the meeting where this was decided or are you just guessing?

They had last season and this one to afford that type of defenseman with Dahlin and Power on team friendly deals, to see this as a win is dumb.

The same people cry thay Adams doesn’t do anything

Then he does something and they still cry.

It’s hilarious

You would toss your pom poms around in celebration if Adams farted.

Yeah they really could have. You just don't spend 7mill on your 4th line or 6.7mill on 2 possible 5/6 Dman

Everyone knew they needed to dump a Dman, think he did good getting the 4th. But the excuses keep coming about Cap and this and that. I didn't really want him but Jesus a top 25 Dman making 4.6mill for 3 more years could have been had at the TDL.

I totally agree. It's hard to be a KA fan when his big moves are non existent and the small ones are very questionable. He's only in a hurry to make moves that easily could have waited. Okposlo now this
He should stay on vacation

I’m surprised he moved LA-Bush-can, didn’t he know it was only 1 year on his contract?

Not really surprised, I would have kept Joker to. Joker can play the minutes, he's just very inconsistent at it.

It wasn't the same return Petry got, unless the Sabres also got back an NHL Dman along with that 4th round pick and nobody has reported it.
