His plan for 2 years was to add a top 4 d-man and he hit on the best possible situation he could have landed himself in.

Adams has had two whiffs in the last 24 months. The Erik Johnson signing and his loyalty to the coaching staff.

He’s been absolutely on-point with everything else
- Swedish_Jesus

I disagree that the Comrie signing and thinking Levi was going to go from college player to starting NHL goalie immediately were on point.

He’s beyond cooked.

We are so screwed with that contract
- Swedish_Jesus

Where there's a will there's a way

He could also be 35 goal skinner again next year its how it goes with him

Why would they trade Johnson ?
- Buff36

He's an ELC, and they have no one in the organization close, so it makes no sense....but it is possible they don't like him.

True!

There is more suspect than sound decisions by adams its not really questionable

Of course whenever they actually make the playoffs it will all make sense

Screwing around with Ullmark, Rhino probably stays if Adams doesn't have brain fart.

No amount of spin can cover up for what he did year 1.

Prior to any trades. Ryan Johnson was easily our 3rd best defensemen on this roster

I like him, but can't say I'm 100% sure they do. If he were part a trade for a C, it wouldn't be a complete shock.

Sabres stopped trying in the 3rd as well

Season over. Good playoff run for 48 hours

I like him, but can't say I'm 100% sure they do. If he were part a trade for a C, it wouldn't be a complete shock.

Think Novikov is better than they expected to, could make it interesting in a year or so to.

Cheap ecl contract , better be a good trade.

I think joker gets traded before rj

To bad that goal by Girgensons was just a tease.

Maybe, but this is about next year, so I don't think he's a factor.

Think Joker is gone for sure. But if it's accurate that they wanted another D at the TDL, someone else is gone as well + Bryson is gone or knocked out.

- Lunaion

I know, if he's playing well enough it gives you the opportunity to use Samuelsson or Ryan Johnson in a trade. So it could affect next year.

This has been uninspiring even when they looked to start generating again

Tired is no excuse now

Shoot the puck Benson

Yup. Another game they didn’t show up for after 2 good games.

Eichel actually bought this up after he left or said something of that sort

Jesus Tage! What the F@ck was that

Tage gets a pass on his stick in the neutral zone and falls over himself

I’ve been saying this for awhile

That’s the game

Bad UPL

Absolute dog poop after the 1st period
