I don't agree with this. Ron Rolston would have been "not Ralph". In the course of one year this team went from the worst point in our history to one filled with hope. Adams has had two fantastic drafts. We've stayed the course. Maybe it won't all work out, I don't know. But I can't imagine going back out into the wilderness to look for a coach or gm again. - Slump Buster
He has?
If we’re giving him credit for passing up on Anton Lundell and taking a consensus #1 pick in Owen Power, sure.
Peterka looks like a great pick. Other than him, what’s made it “fantastic”? |

I remained a fan of JE until last night.
That was the straw that kicked the camel in the nuts. - jochfr
He pretty much alienated the remaining fans he had left here

I dont think anyone is daydreaming about anything.
I think the notion is the pressure is turned up quite a bit next year. Lets see if they can handle it.
Its very easy to sell and be bad and have zero expectation and not really pay players.
Its very hard to build it back up and pay the right players. - ImThatGuy
Its incredibly easy to trade all of your good players and then say “ look how many prospects And cap space I got us!”
It’s what he does with it will decide if he’s good or not |

Take Lundell off the Panthers and he isn't putting up those numbers on most other teams.. He was put into the perfect position to succeed.

My family is pretty tight in the hockey community in Buffalo. When my uncle passed away two Augusts ago, Tim Kennedy was at his funeral, I have known Timmy since he was 6 he went to school with my sister.
He flat out told me Eichel is and was the main problem in that locker room.

He still has a lot of questions surrounding him, one of which being is he durable enough for the NHL?
He’s missed significant time 3 times in two years now |

The NFL and biggest sports league in the world says "Hello" - SDSabre
14 teams make the NFL "playsoffs" and 2 teams are eliminated from Wild card games which is pretty much the playoffs. So I'd technically say 16 teams make the NFL "playoffs". Which is half |

Sure but it stalls development being out for long periods of time |

He did a lot better when he came back healthy. Development can be made from watching lots of film and other things while you can't develop the physical side

I think you misunderstood what I said. I am very happy with Meatballs, Adams and the future. - Slump Buster
I had bad phrasing, but I was actually agreeing with you, suggesting others who think it's so terrible here (long term) to take a look at teams like the Flyers.

He just had another injury setback. He needs to be back on the ice.
I also absolutely disagree about being able to develop by watching film without playing.

What? That's about as wrong as you can be.
14 teams make it, 6 per conference play in WC weekend. So 6 teams get eliminated. 14/32 = 43.75%
MLB just upped theirs to 12 teams make it
12/30 = 40%
It's ok to just be like, yeah I misspoke. Because you did.
14 teams Technically and Actually make the NFL playoffs. There's no additional 2 technically teams at all. |
