Him and Rousek looked good with Tuch. If kids keep developing the way they are Sabres are gonna have some decisions to make over the next 2yrs

Adams had practice with Eichel/Skunk/Risto and made 2 good deals there.

He has butchered middle/bottom player transactions, very curious to see how Gerbe pulls the strings and points Adams in a certain direction.

Gerbe, yes I am available to sign a lucrative AGM position but it’ll have to be remote…I have YouTube premium if that helps.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood

Seems like maybe Kevin Adam's may have played this roster formation just perfectly, allowing him to; see what he has this year, make some investments next year along with raises, then tweak in the next few seasons after.
Nice job KA.

Not the biggest Bryson fan, but how do you take his spot in 1 game?
- Lunaion

Easy, Tell him to sit in the presser. We've got a more talented and slightly taller player to play for you.

You got time to duck?

Definitely give them leeway with there cap. Should have a bunch of ELC's and 1st contracts over the next 5yrs.

Kevo did what he was supposed to do this year. People are mad because we're not blowing wads in free agency despite having ELCs ready to take over. I don't get that side of the argument. We're going to need to pay a lot of people. Why pay the wrong people now?

Curious what the Pilot v Bryson competition looks like.

I admittedly default too often to the contract situation when comparing players chances, but wouldn't it be a rather large upset for Pilut to win the job over Bryson based on that?

He uses these transactions for cap reasons, not hockey/roster/winning reasons...needs to change.

The problem I believe is mid-teir vets currently would play for less on other teams, are they using another NHL season to dicifer what their prospect pool is then fill roles?

Does he have what it takes to make tough decisions, does Granato know how to coach men?

Adams might be the worst GM in the league finding goalies capable of playing in the NHL.

I like how they built up the top end talent, in my eyes there is no depth and no effort in finding these players...yet?

Edit*

Will Gerbe focus on making Adams draft him snapchat friends ?

I know they are in an assessment year, other NHL teams have already rebuilt much more efficently in the 12 year span of this ownership, once they establish their top line players, why should we believe they have what it takes to fill out a successful roster when everyone in that building has failed multiple times already?

There's no reason you shouldn't include player contracts, especially one with the uniqueness of Pilot. 5 games and the waivers are gone. All of our AHL defenders with NHL contracts will need to pass waivers except for Laaksonen. Which means, can you expose Casey Fitzgerald or do you feel the need to carry 8 defensemen? You can do it, waive Bjork to make room for Peterka, go 13/8/2.

Then you need to consider, Fitz is a great AHL D and a well liked veteran there. I don't think Adams wants him rotting in Buffalo playing 25-30 games (ideally). Sure, maybe Bryson and Pilut rotate. Or..

You gauge interest on Fitz league wide, see if he can make it through waivers. Keep Pilut as your 7th, he's going to get those 5 games almost guaranteed. He's not making it through waivers, he's absolutely serviceable in the bottom half. Then how often do you play him?

I'm not sure who the better player is over a long period of time is between Pilot and Bryson. But if they're both solid 3rd pair guys, it's really nice to have a super cheap contract also not be an absolute detriment like, let's see, whoever the 6/7 was for the past how many years. Irwin. Hagg. Hunwick. Scandella. Bogosian. Fedun. Beaulieu. Tennyson.

Like, FFS.

Go take a look at the boards during free agency week. There is legitimate disappointment from some members that we're not spending to the cap.

He's slow, but he will fit in Frazier's zone scheme
- Buff36

Yeah, when the bills secondary is healthy. He drops down the depth chart.

Do you want some practice squad player starting or an experienced corner?

I would take Rhodes over Ingram

nobody said that.

I can name two people who legitimately cared about spending to the cap.

Based on last nights preseason game and watching Bryson last year

I think overall pilut is the better player.


But again. It was 1 game with 2 AHL rosters basically. So that doesn’t tell me much.
