I don't know. I doubt they would send him to Roch. They'd trade him first. But that buyout is pretty painless.

That's it, no, "Well it depends" craps. No, "well, I want to wait ten years and see how it plays out" garbage. Man up, (Or person up, whatever) and just vote. No one will hold your vote against you, ok?

So, are we now officially to the point of Adams tenure when he tries to do the "correct" or maybe better version of the Tim Murray portion of the post-suffering Sabres GM? Because the run of the Darcy Regier "there will be suffering" but this time we'll do it correctly or maybe better portion of the show seems to have ended last off-season with the Savoie trade and the 2nds for 4th liners trades. As the Sabres are no longer necessarily getting younger with every trade, it does seem that portion of the show is finally done. Or maybe we're in the portion of the suffering plan that Regier got punted before having an opportunity to implement? The, we'll trade the incredible talent we've acquired through the past few years to fill the other holes in the roster that come from only drafting skill at the top with little to no grit to go with it. Wonder if Adams gets his Botterill we're going to completely change direction of what type of players we want to build around time too or if he finally gets punted / promoted before then? In any case, can the ride finally end? Can we finally wake up from the nightmare? Is it finally February 3?

I have a better idea, how about i just confirm my initial statement without you misinterpreting it. Eichel, ROR, Reinhart, Montour played well in Buffalo and didn't regress once they left.

Utah isn't an expansion team.

JJ can wear that special Mormon underwear

Adams didn’t thank him in his release either lol do they hate the guy?

Must have been bad behind the scenes to trade one of your top line wingers for a 3rd line defenseman and 4th line forward from a expansion team. I hope JJ knows about the drinking scene in state of Utah.

Kid speaks well. Growing up around the NHL helps in that regard, but he also sounds intelligent. I like hearing that fans will love Kesselring first as a person then as a player. He also sounds like there is some leadership inside and he admits being a hockey nerd.

Kesselring interview

He can play on a line with Doan.

Top line player with bad analytics (and really bad analytics without tage) for a 2ND line dman and a 3rd/4th line player with elite forechecking analytics. I’m the first to admit I didn’t like the trade but then I researched it and it makes sense. Scoring a ton is great unless you’re getting scored on even more when you’re on the ice Yep but that’s not needed as tage drives the play. Robertson is an elite defensive forward who also would get 100 points with tage. I give whatever is needed to get him but I highly doubt Dallas trades him

It was more 50/50 to be perfectly honest. Nigh all fans liked the idea of trading a prospect for a NHLer but it was a toss up on value given versus received.

Robertson isn’t that fast of a skater, just giving everyone a heads up!

Care to include the names of the players that didn't play well so that your false narrative gets corrected?

Like I get I am exaggerating in that plenty were questioning it, but a TON liked it and a lot of those people REALLY liked it. I hate this weird default that all the fans that are unhappy with the team are disingenuous losers who are just pretending to be mad for clout. Why would I/we praise the Savoie trade then? We weren’t hesitant to praise Adams when we THOUGHT he was doing something in the name of winning - why does the argument exist we’d be unhappy still if we actually did win? It’s nonsensical and I just proved it He and others just want to see the fans as an irrationally angry monolith that has no right to be angry cause they couldn’t do better (than professionals) anyway and they are just lying about wanting the base minimum success, and complain just to complain, who complain just because “it makes sense to assume the worst with the sabres” as I SO often see mentioned here by a lot of people no - we aren’t assuming the worst, the transactions and practices have certain patterns we pick up on a pick for player broke trend - praise if we don’t trade Byram for an underutilized shoot first forward with upside I’ll be happy

Trade a top line player in return for a 3rd line defenseman and 4th line player. It is hard to find good players in any professional sport. Buffalo traded a good player.

TBF, Harrington doesn't need to smoke anything in order to come off as a doofus.

Idk what Harrington is smoking. Most of us liked the trade.

What is in the water in Buffalo! Kids running wild down there

And hopefully aged early to mid 20s due to be a RFA in next contract lol

There were a ton of whispers about the dressing room having guys with bad attitudes not focused on the right things. I think Cozens and JJ were two main culprits that Lindy weeded out. Interesting to see who else moves. I think Quinn might be on the outs too.

It will be a guy with the upside to do that and it will be a shoot first player 30-30 potential 25-20 current

One thing I can't stand is how revisionist some media members are. “Well you hated the Savoie trade so shut up” isn’t a good argument. ^99/100 sabres fans
