Another joke of a press conference from our joke of a GM. How can anyone really be so incompetent and out of touch?

Was it 76? I don’t know, 88 to 96 were my lost years, I was overseas most of it.

Well she is the ownership liaison. It only matters if she’s having input and sway on the decision making. If she’s just sitting there repping the owner than that is likely pretty normal.

It's going to be Mrtka and they will play him way too early. Bank on it.

The worst thing in the press conference hasn't even been discussed yet. Pegula has his daughter sitting in on scouting meetings?!?!?! In what world would this be a thing for any other franchise in professional sports?!?!

I think he gets offers and rejects them because he will overvalue the pick because they are always thinking future over present. Future never gets here as we always lose pieces along the way. So they will pick and my guess (not my choice) is it'll be Mrtka. Then they will take this kid (who is likely a good 3 years away from being NHL ready) and insert him into the starting line up beside Power so they can "grow together". Hoo-ha!

Well that's Rochester. They certainly didn't have it here last season. Maybe Norris and Thompson will be something (there was a brief flash of potential there) but that of course depends on if Norris can be healthy and if Ruff moves Thompson to the wing with Kulich or McLeod as 2C and 3C respectively. Honestly, if all healthy and not traded I expect something like: Peterka-Norris-Thompson Zucker-Kulich/McLeod- Quinn Benson-McLeod/Kulich-Greenway Malentstyn-Krebs-Lafferty But likely SOMETHING changes between now and the season. This line up isn't good enough and UPL Levi will not get us there either.

I am going to guess that he trades 9 and gets a late first rounder plus a RHD who is a 5/6 Dman but KA thinks could be Power’s sidekick.

Maybe another trade down year (like 2024). They only have a certain number of players worth drafting at 9 and they won’t be there. GMKA won’t find a trade partner to get a good NHL’er for #9, so instead he’ll settle for more picks. Hoping I’m wrong.

About time

Sooooo...recent indications alledge the coordinated attack only set Iran back a few months? I hope not. Couldn't imagine how much that operation cost.

Does it really matter anymore? What's the prospect pool look like in 2026? With no improvements to this roster, I'd put money on us picking top 5 again. Rinse repeat....

"What Do You Do with a Number Like Nine?" You let that number get the neck surgery it wants and you sign veteran defense and goaltending to keep that number happy.

You did this already. 🙂

Ignoring two of the goals he scored that year… maybe that’s why it took so long to get in.

My favorite part was when he said they have a plan in place and are executing it. Kind of comical he’s done not a single thing addressing the roster all off-season and got in front of a mic and said he’s executing on his plan

Would love them to trade it ++ for a top 4 defensemen or a top 6 forward That being said I think everyone knows they’re standing pat and making the pick

Peterka and Quinn had it in Rochester and flashed it as rookies. Would love to see them get a chance to rekindle that with a tough, savvy centre. If only Dylan Cozens could have matched his concept.

Good for him. Thrilling overall NHL career story, from dodging kgb agents to 74 goals and a cup with NJ I believe. Definitely a good HOF section to stop and read on if they do it right.

Thanks for posting this video, Eleven. And, welcome back. Cannot imagine Kevin Adams having the audacity to do anything even close to this myself. Meehan was a General Manager.

Yep. Just because I like the player and would be happy with the pick doesn’t mean I like that being a factor. Unlike Terry, I know how much I don’t know.

Wayne Gretzky Brett Hull Mario Lemieux No, not three people who have never been in your kitchen. The only three people to score more goals in one season than Mogilny. But by all means, make the guy wait almost 20 years to get in.

The “the coaching staff is under contract for this season” line said everything. Pegula isn’t spending more money. Adams and the whole staff should have been canned at year’s end. Hire Jarmo, move Lindy upstairs. DeBoer and Spott should have been hired the minute they were fired in Dallas.

Honestly they should have cleaned house on everybody. If Terry wanted he could have kept Ruff on for nostalgia in an advisory role helping to hire the new people but there was no justification to keep anybody. There has been no part of this franchise that is performing well.

Bill B. always has a game face. GMKA only has a clown face. He jokes and laughs like this is a summer little league job.
