For all the Ralph talk, KA is the guy I don't understand. If all the moves all Ralph guys, what's that say about him?
- Lunaion


What is difficult to understand about Adams?

Ralph clearly has all the power, and Adams is cashing a very nice check for as long as he can. Was Adams not supposed to take the job out of principle because he wouldn't have final say in decisions?

Hutton blows but I gotta say it. Hall blows more and use 8 mil to upgrade any position and let him go blow on another team.

missed it...did he take a beating to get that tip?

asking for the my pillow guy

- Michael Pachla


My friend asked why/how take a beating when no one was there to deliver said beating?
Good players find the open areas, dummies ho I front and take a beating for (frank) all.

Eichel's coaches

Bylsma
Housley
Kreuger

Throw garden gloves in there pre-Eichel just to show what trash we had.

Eichel does seem like a bit of a head case but 3 coaches in 6 years and all deploying systems and forcing players into roles instead of maximizing their ability.

Give us a real coach then lets see if the players are the problem.

when they got hall, it was off the table

they made a few calls when ullmark's dad died

when ullmark came back, it was done

season is already over, any slim chance ended when ullmark got hurt last week

owners don't care

ship is sinking, band stopped playing and ralph still pulls the strings

- homiedclown


Well it was a mistake not to upgrade the goaltending

Are u ready to admit that yet?

Bylsma had this team a game under 500 and almost in the playoffs and he is not that good of a coach.

Bring in a real hockey coach and bring in goaltending.

I think there is a chance to turn it around.

Bring in a guy like Gallant or Julien and it still doesn't work then blow it up.

I'm really learning to love this. No more on again, off again. Are these guys good? Should I love them? Hate them?

Our top 6 should be good enough.

Hall on NJ was winning games for them the guy won the heart trophy

Hall in Buffalo? Invisible.

Coaching has been trash since Lindy Ruff got fired.

I think coaching is to blame for the past 10 years.

Maybe I am being biased but I think the right coach turns this around.

- sabresfan69


I don't understand how anyone watches these players year after year and pins it all on coaching. This season is over and about 1/3 of this roster is UFA.

never said they shouldn't

said they wouldn't



when the goalies were being signed left and right and we got none, I knew we were stuck with ullmark and hutton


I have said many times before to bury hutton, or whatever




when he got pilled on for a few losses when we scored zero goals, I defended him, because it didn't matter who we had in net we were losing




just like reinhart

I really don't think he is special
I think he is a good player


but when people started to pile on him because of where he was drafted and not named leon, I defended him for what he is


once they sign a contract and wear the jersey

it really doesn't matter where they were picked or what we gave up for him


it's a cap era and all that matters is how they produce and how much they get paid for that production



hutton sucks


he is not why we are dead last


he is 1 of many toothpicks on the floor but we need rain man to count how many are on the floor

Gronbeard
Julien

Put Cozens at Center with Skinner on his wing

So what do you offer him, to keep him from hitting UFA? An average starter makes 5m. Willing to go there on a long term deal?
- Lunaion


Of course not on a long term deal. You think another team is going to offer Ullmark $5M on a long term deal? That seems highly doubtful.
