What is this meeting about? How long can an amazing QB can play without winning a Super Bowl?

I think it’s depends on where that clot is and how long the player expects to be on anticoagulation. If this is to his pulmonary tree or threatening his brain, he’ll be on anticoagulants for an awful long time. Someone playing a contact sport at the professional level shouldn’t be on anticoagulants.

Adams is exploring all avenues to extend his time as GM.

My therapist comment was only half in jest. This guy is going through a ton. I don’t think his lack of engagement this year is due to a lack of skill. He needs more help navigating his emotions. I hope he is getting the help he needs.

Is he a therapist?

I think the level of incompetence is so high, that even an above average GM could help. I don’t think this team needs to be ripped down to the foundation. I think we are a few trades away from being competitive. I just don’t think KA will do it. Changes: 1) hire a good head coach = 5 more wins 2) Trade Power, dump Quinn and Greenway = 5 wins 3) add good (not even elite) players to replace them = 5 wins 4) move on from UPL = 5 wins

We are basically icing an AHL team at this point. What percent of the roster are we at for players who started the year in the AHL?

I fully support this as well. I also think what we are seeing/hearing may just be the tip of the iceberg.

Not trying to be an ass, but this is an unreasonable question. We obviously do. Lyons is playing great. Levi is playing excellent in Rochester and there is a logjam of talent behind him. A reasonable question would be, would Ellis be any worse than UPL? People want to think he’s a flash in the pan and no better than Houser lighting it up a few games, but he had better numbers than Levi last year in the AHL. We have many better options than UPL, who is a sub 0.900 goalie. We’ve seen enough.

See, trading for Norris and re-signing Greenway…3D chess.

There’s no need to trade UPL. Just waive him and thank the Lord if someone else takes him. Someone tell Terry we found a way of saving him more money.

He can go to Rochester, but will need to pass through waivers. Someone will likely grab him. Maybe STL again.

I wouldn’t do this. If any team knows his weaknesses, it’s the Blues. Put UPL in there; it sends a subtle message to him.

Does this team even practice 3 on 3s? Perhaps they should. Identify who is good at it and stick to them.

While things sort of feel like last year, maybe the difference here is sustainability. You just knew the wheels could fall off at anytime last year. That said, we are entering November now and we all know what that means, so my final judgement will be at the half way mark.
