It was one trade in NSH/TB where every other GM was floored by the return.

SJ got very little in return In Terms of quality for Meier.

Buffalos match to that
Asplund
Bloom
Johnson
Conditional 1 this year
2 this year.

That might even be more than what the Devils gave up.


Every other move has been average return.

That depth guy would have looked nice on Krebs wing, maybe Cozens if he finds his touch a bit from last year. And he would have definitely helped in "You Better back the F@ck Up" if you decided to breathe wrong on a Teammate cause I am gonna take your Head off.

I don’t disagree. I just don’t see KA pulling off more than a 1 for 1 or maybe eat some salary for picks type deals. I guess we will see, right?

The #TBLightning acquire Tanner Jeannot from #preds for Cal Foote and five draft picks -- 2025 first, 2024 second, 2023 third/fourth/fifth.

Now that’s not something Adams should have done.

Funny for as strong as the Sabres prospect pool is it actually hurt us in a trade for Timo. The one weak area D pretty much ended that trade.

Going to be fascinating to see if they learn a lesson from that in the upcoming draft and offseason.

I’m not sure I would call what the Leafs paid in renting ROR an average return. Or Rangers for a washed up Tarasenko, this year, GM’s are willing to pay max price is all, look at the last 6 deadlines

Can 100% tell you they didn't want Johnson. They wanted Samuelsson and I believe Lindgren. Samuelsson was a no go. We have No depth

With Johnson on the verge of free agency, he's not a very valuable piece in any trade. I know speculation is that he will sign here after his college season is over, but nobody knows if that plan changes if he's traded.

I appreciate the info but I can’t see the ask from Buffalo when they got nowhere in the same stratosphere from NJ.

if they were keyed in on D prospects, that's just a massive void for us. Plus our firsts are worth more than the devil's firsts. And if that was the cost of admission, our trade would have looked much different.

Boss just stop. Seriously you have no idea what you’re talking about. I’ve done the math time and time again. I’ve played around with the cap staying the same, going up a few million and under every circumstance, with the players they have signed, the players they’ll need to sign, the players coming off contracts, they’ll be able to afford him and keep everyone else they should keep.

You haven’t done any of that. You’re a “vibes” guy. That’s all fine and dandy, but until Adams actually does something to improve this team besides waiting for his kids to hopefully develop, they’ll be in a race for the wild card every year.

Thinking adding a player who could make more than players you have signed is going to break up the locker room just proves your locker room isn’t as strong as you think it is. Players should want to win, adding more good players to a locker room is something they should want.

Getting Rid of that cancer Reinfart and trading Eichel for tuch, krebs and a 1st is doing nothing I guess.

Yup really wish he didnt have us playing meaningful games in March!

I can't imagine Mattias Ekholm or Nick Jensen will cost more than a couple of picks beyond 1st.

You don't know much about Gibson do you, he is on a bad team. He's a damn good goalie.

the bolts gave up a ton for Jeannot

but they gave up a lot for Hagel and he turned into a legit second line winger with them
49 points in 59 games , strong 2 way player

If Vinny wasn't a part of this organization and he was on waivers and we didn't pick him, people would be calling for Adams head and flipping out.
