Where KA and I are aligned is that there is an expectation for internal improvement by the young group. Is it too much of an expectation? I would say that although leaning toward a conservative approach, it is a reasonable approach assuming some of the other liabilities are addressed.

Yes I meant sympathy. Thanks

What do you expect? A sudden change of stripes? Remember, it has worked well in the past (last 5 years)!

Empathy is the wrong word. You are thinking of sympathy. Sympathy comes from a perspective of superiority. There is no feeling of what it is like to be in someone else's shoes. Empathy comes from a perspective of “this could happen to me”. Ain’t no way Kyvyn could have happen to him what is happening to the fanbase.

Maybe it is the way he plays that doesn't "fit my eye". Seems to act nonchalant on the ice.

Adam’s struggles to make one trade. Remember trade are hard to make😀

My heart is aflutter. Are you toying with me? There is a reasonableness and balance/equity to your proposals for all the parties involved.

Vegas has destroyed their team building since winning the Cup. It will come back to bite them as there is zero loyalty to players. I would love the Sabres to be like Vegas but I think they are going a little overboard.

I suspect your take aligns a lot more closely to Kevyn Adams than you’d be comfortable with, given your recent posting history.

Pre-draft press conferences are annual.

I contend that fortifying the goalie position and adding a couple of defensive and more physical blue line players will make a big difference. The most consequential decision will be bringing in a goalie who will fortify that essential position. That's the biggest challenge for the front office. My expectation/hope is that Quinn, JJP, Power, Benson, Kulich and Samuelsson will be better. Am I being unreasonable? I don't think so. All these young players have enough experience where they should be a lot more comfortable in manly league.

Byram to the Flames for Blake Coleman and a 2nd. That second flipped to the Hawks for Conner Murphy. UPL and Östlund to the Canucks for Demko and Forbert, Demko quickly extended. Done, easy-peasy?

So Mule is not getting bought out. Well, then he needs to be traded because he was given a nice contract and a letter and he doesn’t stand up for a fallen teammate. Coaching staff is under contract, whoopty f***ing doo, everyone that gets fired in the league is under contract dipstick. Do better. My fandom is on the ropes and then this loser comes out and says nothing. I know they are tight lipped about moves and that is OK even admirable, just don’t have press conferences until you do something then. Key words, do something. Hard to comprehend from Mr. Run It Back.

This is as close to my opinion as one could get.

He held it to show empathy. He knows we are all upset about the misinformation out there about Muel and he showed us support today.😀

Because otherwise Adams might have used the time to make a phone call to another GM or something crazy like that.

Someone else compared Adams in a press conference 5 years ago to Adams today. He exudes the confidence of a whipped puppy.

To show us they were busy working when nothing was done?

Vegas can’t help themselves? You say this like it’s a bad thing. Think what you like but Sabres could only dream to have ownership and a GM doing whatever it takes to be relevant year in year out with a chance to win. Marner to Vegas would be a huge move for them and he’s younger and better than Hertl. Great moves if they happen.

What was the point of this press conference? Why did they even schedule it?

I’m getting tired of being served his nothing burgers.

I didn't bother watching the clip. What do you want him to say? I'm more concerned about what he does and not what he says. You're wasting your irritation energy on a vapid PR appearance. I expect some action on draft day. Jarma wasn't added to the payroll to sit on his arse and argue for the status quo. That's what my focus is on. What my desires are: I don't want JJP traded. I don't want Quin traded. I don't want Kulich traded. I don't want Benson traded. I don't want Power traded. I don't want Samuelsson traded. (I'm not giving up on him.) I want Byram traded. I want UPL traded. I want a couple of rugged defensemen added to the unit. I want an experienced goalie brought in. I want a second line forward added. Nothing extravagant. These desires are all doable. No excuses.

same crap different season.

Started this thread because there are signs. Agree it's a very tough call.
