I had to laugh a bit listening to Boston sports radio, debating what to do with Hall. And his lollygagging in Buffalo came up as a red flag.

I don't understand the need to defend him.

He knew he was getting into a rebuild, at best. But he made little or no effort to make the team better. Maybe it was Krueger's incomprehensible coaching, the COVID pause, Eichel's injury, who knows? That fact is he did nothing to lift this team. Even while playing under Granato he was outplayed by the young core. Again, when you pay a player $8MM you expect him to perform. It's not the first time Hall mailed it in and he probably figured he was safe to coast to the deadline.

We don't know how many personnel decisions came from Adams or Krueger? I mean a new GM has to back up his coach, right?

There's so much self-loathing here we applaud d-bags. I guess the lesson learned is don't sign any players willing to come to Buffalo.

Why did Hall sign with said incompetent organization? Was it a surprise that we sprung on him?

As always happens, someone I bought a ticket for bailed out. So I have one for Sunday June 6 vs Houston. Sec 113. You must have a vaxx card to sit in this section. PM me.

The Leafs or Jets could play in any unused NHL venue. Buffalo is not a given.

So your willing to give Hall the benefit of the doubt here because he would have accepted a trade to a theoretical team that didn't make an offer for him? Sorry it doesn't work that way. It's not like 30 teams made offers for Hall at the deadline. This statement by him doesn't transform him into a hero.

Wasn't it reported a west coast team offered a package with a 1st and Hall nixed it?

Hall is lying.

I only mention Jar Jar because I don't recall which sequel it was in. But the writing was so god-awful. I mean total amateur hour.

I swore off anything Star Wars after JarJar Binks.

We don't know how much input the Pegs have here. I, like you, hope their 10 year track record is a hint they should let Adams and Karmanos drive the bus.

It all depends how long into the season the Jays play in Buffalo. The Sox are scheduled to play July 19-21 and Aug 6-8.

Same with the Red Sox.

If he's going to make $5MM/yr? Then yes.

It will definitely have a roof.

What they did in Cleveland might be the template. They built out the walls of Quicken Loan/Rocket Mortgage arena and expanded the concourses.

That would be next to impossible to do. And if you could it would cost more than a new downtown dome. Consider how wide that stadium is. You can't just drop a roof on it. And why would you sink that kind of money into a 50-year old-plus stadium?

Granato went to the finals in the USHL, won the Kelly Cup in the ECHL, and was AHL Coach of the Year with Worcester. It's not like he hasn't won games as a head coach.
