The guy hired competent people around him and you still want to complain


Can't please anyone here.

Dreger on The Instigators says Winnipeg would love Ristolainen.

Montreal, Edmonton and Vancouver have all been interested as well.

- Stripes77


They throw words around like "would love" like they were willing to give up value for the guy, which clearly isnt the case. Anyone that would love another player, would be OK making a hockey trade for him. Dreger's useless

Have you talked to Adams today?
- RichardRoma


Yes, he told me to tell you to stop emailing him pictures of your Richard. He also said he feels sorry for your wife.

Go back two years when Vegas had there draft. Remember alot of people on this board including myself being like WTF are they doing. They did not go with the conventional best player available, choice secondary players with side deals.

How quickly we forget……Ill wait to judge Ron. Still waiting on first good thing Adams has done. Go into offseason with NO NHL goalies…?

- ZiggyBuff


Yeah they also did get a titch luckier hitting on Wild Bill. I don't think anyone saw that coming, and CBJ even paid for Vegas to take him. That one has to sting.

“I think Anaheim’s still interested. I believe there’s a team out there that’s gonna surprise everybody. All of us in fact. I’ve got a suspicion, but I don’t want to disclose it and be that guy that speculates on something that’s unverified.”

He says it’s an east team.

Competent would of traded for a goalie by now. Competent would of exposed 68/68Risto. Competent would of had a deal in place to not expose 68/68 Risto ( Obviously no deal was in place like I was told of here ).

You wanna see competent. See Mcbean. Came in had a plan. Traded everyone that didnt fit the bill. LB to KC. LT to cincy. Darby to eagles. All of us were like why he trading our best pieces for garbage picks. Thats competent.

Keep drinking the cool aid I guess

Stripping the captaincy is a road that won't end well.

Boston baby wouldnt like that. There would be "caracter" questions.

Remember a few years ago when we kept assigning captains to add trade value.

Steve Ott the center I believe?

- Boss34

You can’t even let it get that far. Eichel needs to go.

I hope they keep Risto and make him Captain. It’s funny his haters point to his offense as the one thing he is good at. What? Skating the puck below the goal line and giving it away must qualify as a high danger scoring chance. Let’s see how the other best dmen in the league that have to answer the bell every time a top line gets on the ice compare. Risto will go to another team and make it look like Sabres fell on their face like they did in ROR trade.

I totally agree. I mean Gerbe's been mia - dropping easter eggs out there from time to time, but nothing that makes any sense whatsoever.

But, he seemed to suggest that there were things out there that we would be happy with, so hopefully they are sitting on a few things while we work out the other two guys, but who knows...

I think I appreciate the fact they are protecting information, but it makes everything speculation and makes this site even more fictional than it already is

Mcbean didn't come in a do all of that first day


This isnt the NFl where you can cut anyone at anytime.

Mcbeans got all these plans till he plays KC and then he has no plan. Guy got shanked in the Conference finals.
