Truthfully, I don't think that bulb is ever coming on. It's not in his personality.

Honestly, I think the coaching staff in Buffalo is AHL quality at best. Certainly below top notch NCAA programs.

And Adams has given 0 indication he plans to overhaul defense or goaltending.

Most 21yr old defenders are. My issue isn't that, it's that he looks the same as he did in college. Power hasn't really evolved his game and frankly, I lay that at his feet and Wilfords.

In the draft? Hagens, Martone, Desnoyers, Eklund. Not Frondell, I'll say that. In the system, Östlund, maybe Helenius, idk, those are the two I think of.

The sound you hear when a sheep explodes.

He's making up for Owen Power. Also, Benson isn't going to be out the league anytime soon.

The reason to trade Power is not because he's bad at hockey, it's because he doesn't play hockey how you want your team to. Adams lacks the ability to have that distinction and to act on it.

Or Power

"Well we added Norris and he's healthy now and he can be a #1 center, he's really good at both ends. I really believe in the guys we have in this room" - Adams in October

Jack Quinn, 3g, 3a last 2 games. He needs a strong offseason, some more confidence, and maturity. Nah. He's making up for power. I'd rather Benson maintain his style of play.

Benson needs work for sure. I'd fully agree he's got things to improve.

The old "if we pretend this isn't happening, it's not!" Grift

Adams lacks imagination.

How is Marty Wilford still employed by this team?

I was referring to "we" the US crossing the line to dictatorship.

Donald Trump edges closer and closer to dictatorship. At this point it's a matter of when we cross the line, not if.

That electoral college at minimum should be proportional to the votes won. If you win 55% of a state, you get 55% of the electoral votes. Ties or partial vote goes to the person with more %. It's disenfranchisement for everyone in red or blue states who votes opposite their states majority.

The problem with the Bryson contract is that it was signed at all. No effort to upgrade that spot, just run back the thing.

Just think though, he's got a 1yr extension!

Canada is actually benefiting from trumps stupidity. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-brain-gain-trump-1.7496085

Hmm, I haven't watched Rochester lately but thought he was playing center. In the Swedish league he was a center but I think when he went from Jr's to SHL he might have spent some time at wing. Idk if he's a center longterm unless he adds a lot of strength. He's only 5'11" and he's still light but he's got the details and skating to be a center. Someone who watches Rochester more would have more info.

Look, you guys want more Benson types? Hard forechecking forwards who never give up and have skills but a flaw here or there. Then we should draft Carter Bear. Better shot than Benson, same defensive checking style, less playmaking. He's 6' tall too. His skating stride is only average but his motor runs on Benson's level.
