I completely agree with all of that, which is why I wouldn't want Helley either. I have no interest in Gibson unless they hold at least 2 mill of his if 6.4 AAV.

Good call the Sabres don't need either of these 2 veteran goalies with elite talent.

Okposo is going to vibe the locker room so vibey UPL and Levi will make history.

Don't be so dense, thinking it, allowing it, and not having proper support to manage the risk of the move was dumb.

By that logic, we should just have a shadow team to cover all of the kids in case they don't play well? The same people complaining about 4D right now are the same ones that complained that we didn't go out and get more scoring last offseason. They let the kids play. Sure, Adams should have got another D in October or November when injuries hit.

Interesting.
As we discussed for the Mock Draft, I'm blending BPA and D need into my preference:
-Simashev
-Willander
-Moore
-Wood/Barlow.

You do realize that Gibson is living off for 4 years ago, don't you? 4 more years at 6.4 per year.

Say, why aren't all of the other teams hopping on the Helley train? If I am Jersey, I am bringing him in as a rental. I can't see anyone paying a goalie 9.5 again, for good reason.

Strange how your always the first one to throw insults around when people diagree with you

Did you know you can get Bob from Florida for free?

Better yet, why don't you answer the question. Lets assume that they go out and get a good 4d and an acceptable vet goalie (Freddie Anderson, Korpisalo, etc). If KA didn't make any other moves, why would that be a travesty? There is an assumption the roster is young and we are presuming that there are going to be continued growth from the core youngins. Give me an example of a trade that you think Adams should make.

Clearly you did not. They'd dump that contract in a minute if they could. It was terrible from the minute they signed him.

You do realize that you could probably get Bob for free, don't you? He had an amazing playoff run, until he didn't. He hadn't been good for a long time before that, and I don't love his prospects for being good again in the future.
- Slump Buster

Yeah i dont need a 36 year old goalie for 10 milly.

My point was Hellybuck can still be the guy to get you to the finals 5 years into his contract cause he a top goalie. Like Bob was.

Goalies are just so strange tho. Just need em to get Hot at the right time.

Assume and if away the day slump, it's supposed to be an entertaining day.


I'll be looking for news on the GM who is looking away.

Why not just answer the question? I am not even trying to troll you. Again, if he doesn't make those moves I will absolutely join you in criticizing him.

Would you take Bobrovsky at $2.5m retained for UPL?

$7.5 for 3 more years

I dont think Bob would waive. I'm just asking

He has no answers. Throwing insults makes him feel better. Hes on the same message board everyday complaining about other people having conversation.

Small "man" with small hands. I mean you'd think its his wife posting for him with the b!tching and moaning the guy does.

To put what you said another way: "You go ahead and wait to see what moves are made. I have started with my desired result, and am now going to proceed complaining about it as if it has actually happened".

Adams is on at 1230 if anyone is interested.

Personally I think they shoulda just had Paul Hamilton come regurgitate some poopty opinions

Yes, easy decision to make.

Here in the UK it made national news that at a school a student or students identified as cats and some called them out on it and the school took the side of those wanting to identify as whatever

Then the PM said nope you can identify as a gender and not another species

Well that didn't go so well either

That is a very hard pass for me. He's been just another guy for a while now.

Bob is a headcase in net. If you ever see the Sabres play the panthers in person. You can just tell with the stuff he does.

Very routine oriented, keeps to himself, and a few other things I noticed.

I think one of the indicators of a good goalie is that his numbers look better than the other goalie's numbers. When you look through his numbers over the last several years, his numbers are fairly consistent (3 GAA, 900ish SV%). The other goalies had very similar numbers (and often better). A kid from the minors saved their season last year. What is the appeal?

What are your thoughts on the GM going on the radio during the window the rest of the league is making moves?
