This trade is mediocre.

Just need Michael Misa and Noah Östlund up next year. I am kidding Why are we giving up a 2nd?

Its going to come from the Defense in.

Would rather have Jordan Spence

Unlikely. You want Norris shooting.

Bernard-Docker is a 2nd/3rd pair defender. I would lean towards 3rd pair with maybe some decent PK skills? Unsure on that.

eh, hes fine?

I guess put Norris with Benson and idk, Quinn? and tell them to feed him pucks?

What's the point? It's switching out a guy for a similar guy. And we are adding salary, he has a higher cap hit. Wtf are we doing?

Look likes it is a done deal. Norris and Docker were pulled from Sens practice.

What's the point of this?

Cozens did score 30g, but is he a 30g scorer moving forward?

Sorry but that plus better be like a 5th round pick.

Well... that escalated quickly. Trump may slap massive tariffs and sanctions on Russia. Big if true. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cg70jylp32gt

If that is what Cozens brings back... meh. Adams ability doesn't impress me much.

Better is a strong word.

Again, why does Wilford still have a job and why are all the same defenders continuously brought back?

I hate this argument. It basically implies goalies are all the same and the good ones just don't have to deal with defensive zone breakdowns. All teams deal with zone breakdowns and we could argue that UPL deals with more but at 5v5 we know that isn't really true. UPL hasn't been making saves and his gsax numbers reflect that. We could argue that his defense is not helping much and I would agree but he also isn't helping much. Both things can be true, the defense isn't good enough and UPL isn't good enough. Goalies are paid to make saves and he doesn't get a pass on that because some of the saves have been harder to make. What's Leone's background?

If they were smart, the day after the season ends, do exit interviews and collect all that data. Then 1 week later, fire Adams and the coaching staff. Bring in a new POHO and tell him to evaluate the current employees in hockey ops. That would give them a couple of months of playoffs to evaluate what you have and then decide who stays and goes, so when summer opens and all the coaches and execs around the league are available, you can start bringing in who you want to fill holes. If I did this. I would talk to analytics first and figure out what they are doing and who won't listen to them. I would then find out why the ppl who aren't listening to them don't. It is valuable to have the analytics and non analytics perspective. Then I would move rapidly to assemble a team of 3-5 people to help me go through the rest of the org telling them that if I get a whiff of them using this as an opportunity to use personal beefs to get someone gone they will be gone faster than they can say palm trees. Logical and cold the process should be. It would take months. You'd have to understand who does what and why. You would have to understand how decisions are made and who can't handle the change. In short, you would need a real leader (not calling myself that, I did a self insert for writing purposes) who can summarize all the knowledge, reach a conclusion, and then have the conviction to execute that conclusion AND reflect on it later to make sure it was correct. Adams never questions his plan, draft and develop and want to be here. He never allows for imagination or deviation. He's a poor general.

He's doing pretty good with PT and OT but stressed my mom out a bunch.
