It’s not my fault we couldn’t get a stud in that deal like we did the ROR trade
- sbroads24


Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Krebs talked about as the gem of that return? Tuch a nice player sure, but Krebs was supposed to be a 1C. I seem to recall that's how it was sold.

To me the deal was always getting that filthy ginger off the team. I don't care what came back, frankly, but it's another dent to the Kevyn Adams burger king crown.

If Tuch isnt playing hurt I have a serious problem with a guy who just took 5 games off. Studs don't do that.

Yeah, Krebs is honestly the most disappointing player this year by a wide margin.

He looks like a bottom 6 player

I have said repeatedly Krebs is 21 and should go to Rochester. I said he should start the season there. What are the Sabres seeing?

Not what ur comment just said. Sounded like you said we lost the trade because krebs is not a 1C at 21yo

Also thanks for your service!

The miraculous Tage turnaround is now the barometer for every player's development?

Wow. I don't often Bills comment, but damn. That was a world class catch. Diggs is such a gamer.

You're welcome. We won that trade as soon as Jack left to me. I'm just evaluating Adams. And, I really think it was sold as Krebs then Tuch then the pick.

Giving up a star in Eichel we would always lose by stats. But his attitude brought whole team down. Would be nice if Krebs stopped looking like a scrub

Any good organization rebuilds to the low standard you're referring to in less than 3 years. To make the playoffs in the NHL you only need to make the 50% threshold. To require 5 years to hit the 50% mark is awful. poopty. Horribly bad. I don't know how anyone can be duped into thinking otherwise.

Thompson and Dahlin are where they need to be, and neither one of those players have anything to do with Adams. Put them aised.

Power is a consensus #1 pick. Not a feather in Adams' cap.

Cozens looks like a good 200' player, but he's not winning games for the Sabres. Let's not confuse him with Zegras.

Quinn and Peterka are all hope still. Peterka looks much better than Quinn to me. I don't know how anyone is counting Jack Quinn a success right now. He a non contributing factor so far as an NHLer.

Is there another forward on this roster even worth mentioning right now?

It looks like Adams successfully drafted a defensive defenseman in Samuelsson and brought in a solid middle pair guy in Boosh.

That ends the good moves in 3 years of marching towards the 50% standard.

The fact he let a franchise goalie walk to Boston for nothing should wipe out every smalltime good move he's made.

Fire this bum and bring in a pro.

Cousins is giving 100%. That bastard always found a way to win at little brother Michigan State.
