Here's the thing, this is the 3rd full year of this core and you could argue it is year 4, they don't get it. Now, I don't think they should burn it all down and start over like they did in 2014, and somewhat in 2020/21 but they need to look at their top 6 forwards and their top 6 defenders and start making the adult decisions that Adams and his "wants to be here" cuddly childish attitude seems incapable of. If I can somehow move Cozens and Byram for Petersson and something (mild sweetner) than you do it. Then you start figuring out how you are moving Joker, Samuelsson, and one other top forward off this roster. I would look at Quinn and Peterka and ask if I can move either for a defender around the same age. If you want to keep both that's fine but still need a defender for Owen Power, like Zach Whitecloud. This game of "everyone will get better" and "what if we move the wrong guy" has to end. Doing nothing is the same at this point as doing something wrong, at least if you make a move you have a chance of doing something right. 3 years of the same core and they will be further away from the playoffs this year. You need all new assistants (except for Bales) and you need to make hard decisions about who stays and who goes.

Grant was technically in charge of all the union armies and Meade the army of the Potomac. However in reality, Sherman was in charge of the western theater and Grant the east. Grant pressed Lee hard and other than Cold Harbor, didn't make too many dumb frontal assaults. That said by 1864, George Thomas was probably the best army commander. Either way, had Lee defeated Grant the war would had still been lost. Personally, I think Lee was a mediocre strategist in that he often was lucky because the union was dumb... McClellan or his immediate subordinate... mostly Jackson was brilliant. Lee assaulted the union center because he thought Meade would panic and reinforce the flanks but Meade guessed that. Meade knew he was right after the artillery bombarded them for 2 hours as well. Lee attacking an elevated position, where his lines could be enfiladed with cannon fire all while thinking he could push the union second corps and break them never made sense. By summer 1863 both armies were not what they were in 1862. The correct plan would have been to sidestep Meade and not fight him on the 3rd day. However, on July 4th 1863 Vicksburg fell so the Confederacy was doomed anyway. The only winning move would have been a partial destruction of the army of the Potomac and an attack on Washington but, as I've said, Lee was only an ok strategist and he let his victory sickness dictate his actions. Also George Meade was probably the best he faced to that point. Anyways, the strategic moves of the Civil War are fascinating.

Culps hill was impossible to take too but they tried anyways.

Redwings wildly better after coaching change. Maybe they'll prove me wrong after all.

It's kinda of amazing that Adams kept all the same coaches minus Granato, and all the same players minus the 4th line, and was like "yea, we're better now!"

At Gettysburg after Picketts charge (note 2 other brigades took part), the union II chanted Fredericksburg because it was the inverse and had left such a scar on the army.

It's not gonna happen. That's not who the player is and I hope everyone finally gets that size doesn't equal grit. Hopefully the scouting department can find some guys with both.

Probably should have fired the coach who's ran the defense for 3 years and also actually added real defense depth. Joker, Samuelsson and another guy gotta go.

Lol yes after the fans stood up and cheered wildly at the end of the 1st, the Sabres sucked the rest of the way because the fans. Lol what a crock of *****.

I'd keep Power and move Byram. Power has excellent transition and exit metrics. He needs to work on entries.

In mother Russia, bear shoot you

Cuz no one will give us anything for Bryson. Terry and Kevyn like him Did it in 5. What is, Nikita Novikov

Probably blacked out

Dylan Larkin?

Edited it to be clearer

Think we only got a 1st for Risto Uhhh... on kids day, not really Of course I left after goal 4 cuz I'm smart

Cozens is the forward equivalent of Ristolainen

Jokiharju and Byram can go

ftr, he's right

Even if true, the real question is will he thrive here? Answer is no. Every line he leaves gets better.

It's 2025, as a billionaire you cry and whine until the government gives you 70% to "save it" then you get it, strip it, profit, destroy it, sell the carcus, write it all off and go on to your next scam.

This team sucks and is only in the hunt for the 1st overall pick.

Top 10... lmfao. Top 5

4, 3rd period goals against.
