I take adams at his word that he wants players who want to be here
- jcragcrumple

Then how the hell do they ice a team?

I think Harrington took Adams' comments like I did.

I like Adams. I think he's very intelligent (so much more so than Botterill), well spoken and about as transparent as a GM can be. He may lack experience, but hopefully Karmanos will help offset some of that. I know some on here don't trust ANYONE the Sabres employ, and they criticize, dissect and ridicule ANYTHING Adams says, but I believe him about Eichel.

And he said a mouthful when he said, "we want players that want to be here", and I couldn't agree more.

Adams is a much better public speaker compared to Botterill, but that does not mean he's more intelligent.

As for the bolded, what have the Sabres done in the past decade to engender any degree of trust from anyone involved with the management of the team?

A few of us were roasted for weeks before the season when we indicated we didn't buy in or believe the offseason moves were going to make a big difference.

If you want to believe in them, feel free, but based on a very long track record, I'm not buying into anything that the team is selling anytime soon.

Does that lineup even get them to the cap floor?

Without goaltending, it's roughly a $44M cap hit with the floor being $60M-$61M.

but were you laughed at?

Good post

I'd say if ullmark leaves, sign em both until 6k is ready
- Boss34

Sign all 3. When Ullmark gets hurt the other 2 can be a tandem.

if the leafs don't make the conference finals, do you start questioning what dubas has been doing as gm?

To be fair you have to either add the 3 amigos
Or wait to see return

It's nothing more than a glimpse into what they have left after the other 3 are jettisoned.

- kingcong39

well then we can sign 2 goalies to a 10 mil contract each.

Vegas should be on that list as they are definitely interested, but Minnesota should be one of the top 2 or 3 as they are pushing to get Eichel big time.

If Jack is moved we need as many teams to jump it wouldbe the perfect storm, it really could alter the franchise and the sum of the pieces could actually make us better.

Super Bowl Predictions

Graziano: Bills over Rams. I have no idea who to pick in the NFC, but I don't want to pick the Bucs because I don't believe in repeats in this league. The Rams look good, and we'll go with them -- until the next time I'm asked for a pick. But the headline here is the first Super Bowl title in Bills history and a statue for Sean McDermott in Buffalo.

I didn't say I believe "in" them.

I said I believe them, with regard to his comments on Jack (the conservative approach, the 12 week window, etc) that HE claims there's a disconnect on. I also have no problem with them not feeling comfortable with a surgery that there's very little known about, especially since there hasn't been ONE NHL player that's had it done.
