Nothing good would ever come from TP speaking to the press. He's a terrible public speaker. He just needs to hire a legit NHL GM, let his HC hire actual NHL assistant coaches and stay out of the ***** way. He's too stubborn and wants to be in conversation.
Here's what I suspect will ultimately happen:
Adams stays as GM and says he believes in the guys in the room. Talks about how UPL didn't have the year he wanted but the team still believes in him and he's proven he can be a good goalie. Then he talks about how talented Norris is and how much he brings to the team. He'll go on about how getting him back is going to feel like adding a major piece to the team blah blah blah. He'll point to this recent win streak as proof that the team he assembled can be a playoff team if they play the right way blah blah blah. There won't be any major deals or signings. We're going to bring back Reimer and will into next season with him backing up UPL. The team will look exactly the same on opening night.
The pointing in playing Reimer is he gives us the best chance at winning.
What do we hope to gain by playing UPL at this point and is it worth the message it sends to the rest of the team?
Dumping Cozens and Joki was a start. Now Adams needs to flip Samuelson and Byram and hopefully fix the goalie situation. Simply running back the exact same team and using this late stretch as proof is a recipe for disaster.
