intersting

8 games over .500 and in a playoff spot and still gets canned

must be nice to have expectations for your hockey team

Do they even have the capability of understanding how (frank)ing embarrassing they are?

Don't care if he's made a Decision on him, a good GM takes those calls and hears what's being offered.

KA's great at at listening. How far does that get if you aren't sure if you even want to move him?

If you do want to move him, you should be actively shopping, not hoping for an offer to come to you.

I think Mitts wants to get paid, his best chance is with Adams. He is a 3rd line playmaker on a good team with 0 pp ability. On top of that I bet Adams is asking for the GM's first born son ++ for Mitts...which is why teams will look elsewhere.

Adams severely over values his players - this season is a perfect example of how they are not good.

That wouldn't make me happy, but may be right.

I just can't see how the guy can go into next year if the only change he makes is trading away EJ for future considerations.

So the all star teams were picked by the captains of each team, which is cool, I have no problem with it. I’m just wondering about the jerseys...they were selling (I’m almost certain I saw a couple in the crowd) Bob and Rhino all star jerseys in the blue/yellow Sabre-ish colors. Auston Mathews team is wearing those jerseys...Bob and Rhino will be on McDavid’s team, wearing a totally different jersey than the one that it seems many people have already purchased.
Same with Dahlin, he will be on McDavid’s team. Were the Sabres pimping his blue all star jersey after his selection?

I agree, but obviously he needs a push. You haven't even talk yet and there's decent movement happening. Time for Adams to get his Head out of His A$$ and be more than a Drafter.

Only one I saw was Reinhart's :/

That they are blocking their prospects.
- IonSabres

I bet he gets extended:

"I can't say enough good things about him as a person, what he's done in the locker room, the way he carries the message from Donny
- washedup20[Granato] and the coaching staff through to the team, his selflessness, to be able to mentor and bring along players," Adams said.

"I see it over and over again, day after day, players are down, whatever's going on in their life, they're talking to him. And I just think it's we're lucky to have him."

WTF.
Isn't this what the friggin dog mascot is for?
Go get a friggin sports physcologist ... Holy poop the guy would be jammed 24/7/365 with the mental midgets on the team

Most be some Fantastic Reach arounds going on in that GM Office. Maybe that's how Adams got his TOP 5 from Nickname.

If he's going move Mitts, is a deadline deal for picks/futures really what you want?

I think with Guentzel, the only way it makes sense (presuming he waives which is unlikely but again just a hypothetical), is if he wants to sign the extension. I think he's a lot more valuable player to invest in if we're going to.

Do you think that's what GMs think of Mitts? I've been wondering, since the Lindholm trade, if he wouldn't garner a hefty return as well. He's no 40g scorer, but playmakers have value as well.
- QuinnFan

Not sure I'm following your question or line of thinking above.

What is your question when you're mentioning Guentzel and Mittelstadt together?

Anybody have a position in $Meta? That went to the moon, unreal.

Depends on the Future, if it's Jiricek or Reinbacher then yes. But it won't be. Probably a off-season move. Doesn't mean he shouldn't be listening.

Do you think GM's are going to waste their time with Adams? I bet it's quiet in Buffalo.

I'm going out on them tonight. Them, VZ and NVDA have made me a happy camper over the last year.

Now I just need Palantir to go to $100 and I'll be in Palm Beach, conversing with my new friend group.

How many conversations have to be had to move a 37 year old depth defenseman?

How many is too many?

Figure that out and add several more lol.

A good GM would've watch RyJo play about 5 games before he was getting moved. At this point we're a farm team for the actual contenders. Pegula pays half the season's salary, then they go to their real team to compete.

touche.

The bolded is 100% true...they should change their name to the Jr. Sabres - run the exact same way.

Canadians got a first for taking Monahan on and 17 months later another for trading him
- DirtyDan

That's quality GM material.

Better for us to laud Adams for the tidy piece of business he did when acquiring a 4th round pick 'for free' for Lyubushkin...
