Who cares its a hockey player. Were not trading our mom away. Guy doesnt want to be here so frank him.

We'll find another Jack and another Sam and another Risto to bash.

There is really only 2 people that are the reason we are where we are and they own the fvcking team.

I would almost hope that would be the rallying call among the young guys, Cozens, Mitts, Thompson, etc. "F that guy, he didn't believe in us, let's show him".

I think we've reached the point of no return, no?

Embrace Tankathon 3.0!

Or is it 4.0? I can't keep track.

We have to pay for sins of the past. That means shedding Okposo money - putting up with a couple more years of Skinner dough - start managing the payroll/cap better - making better Free Agent investments in the future - and getting on with life.

I like the kids - need a goalie in the worst way - need leaders on the ice - not necessarily vets - or stars - leaders - would be nice if there was some skill there as well.

He didn’t say that - said he’d be surprised if he was traded imminently but said the draft is a sort of deadline for this type of trade

I’m convinced that Adam’s is so tight lipped that these insiders have no idea when it comes to Buffalo anymore.

I’m also convinced that Gerbe has info based on his limited reaction over the last few days lol.

It's all just hard to imagine. They didn't conduct a GM search, and now we're counting on Adams to lead a rebuild. He's doing an extensive coaching search, to lead a tank season? It's completely backwards.

As far as the coach thing, he's going to hire a guy with granatos skill set, or Donnie himself. Year one will be bad, not Ralph bad. The point is to develop all of these guys at the same time. It'll be another wait time, no doubt. All one can do is hope it works this time.

This trade poop comes from rival teams. Buffalo doesn't leak.

That actually isn't surprising as there is no reason to hurry this. The pressure will mount for everyone in the days leading up to the draft.

What about the return? Did he say we'd be underwhelmed, overwhelmed or whelmed?
