  1. I love this. Love to see players open themselves up a bit like this and let the fans into how they are thinking.

    Remember seeing Dahlin hanging out with Dion Dawkins so I am sure Dion's open letters had an influence. Really shows us that Dahlin loves being in Buffalo. He gets it.

    Dahlin is growing up right in front of our very eyes.

  2. A thought for Adams to consider for a goalie fix and wanted to get all of your thoughts:

    Pyotr Kochetkov was signed to a 4 year deal for 2M AAV and looks stellar.
    Antti Raanta has 1 year left at 2M AAV and is 33.
    Frederick Andersen also has 1 year left at 4.5M AAV and is also 33.

    Something has to give here. Andersen is skating again and when he comes back, I can see them making a move.

    Should Adams pounce on this?

    Forgive me if this has been discussed before.

  3. Every deal has a risk, still would love to see Tage duplicate the points again this year, but what if Tage scores 43G next year and he does not sign?

    Then you hear rumors he might get traded, or the price goes up to 8M AAV or even more.

    Both sides hit a good number.

    Plus with Adams working on changing he culture of this franchise from the inside out, this sends a positive message to the entire locker room. Players want to win and they want stability. This is an excellent step in that process.

    Can Tage duplicate his numbers going forward? With that size and shot, and it isn't like he had a 22 percent shooting % (15% last year) it is very reasonable to believe he can do this again and again.

    And now in Year #2 of being a full time center, Tage can grow his game and work on the other nuisances of the C position (example, improve on face-offs)

    Well done Adams!

  4. I agree that is scary these horrendous incidents like with this dentist still happen in 2022.

    It will happen in 2042, 2062 and 3012. It happens around the world at many levels and sadly, it will never be fully eradicated.

    Just hope and pray that it gets better on all levels so people can live more at peace day by day.

    What should NOT be happening in 2022 is this: Blaming just one side of the political aisle.

    If anyone hasn't figured out by now that BOTH sides are EQUALLY guilty in flaming many toxic things, then I really don't know what to tell you.
