This could work. The CHL doesn’t like letting these types of players go because it worsens their league. With less flashy players on the ice, there’s less butts in the seats. You are correct, it’s just about money, not player development. Compensation for their potential loss in revenue may work.

Would’ve been better on the Amerks instead of being dicked around in WHL.

Something tells me Okposo will be back. Embarrassingly, he has shown more signs of life than most of the kids this year.

That was almost tankesque. And placing Girgs on the top line is too.

I hope this makes a point. Another drubbing, waiver another one. Looks like KA is losing patience.

How’s Benson looking?

Of course Canada wants the best players they can get, but it doesn’t matter what they want. Did our FO ask what Benson wanted? Edit: another thought. Maybe Benson wanted to stay with the Sabres (who knows?), but didn’t want his country knowing he declined, so he let KA be the big meany.

Do we have any reliable sources that Benson was told he could not go? Or that it was never offered to him by the FO?

Can we play the Rangers, Golden Knights, Bruins, or Laughs every night?

I’m not going to join this parade. Outside of Dahlin, every 23 year-old defenseman should look like poop. This is why I’m not getting down on Power either. In the past 5 years, even Dahlin played some very miserable games. Package that up with the whole team sucking right now. Besides JJP, every player has regressed, but especially the defense.

Oh. Didn’t know that.

Playing at home >>>>> goathead

But you wrote you would’ve liked him to sit until “Feb at the earliest”. So, given he is 24 weeks 5 days and average is 26 weeks, why would you want him to sit for 31 weeks 0 days “at the earliest”? Sitting until after New Year is debatable, but February is nowhere near anyone’s timelines.

Good. Maybe he’s aware that he controls his destiny and he needs to be playing better. Last night was a start.

True. Even Stillman looked pretty good for his first few games. Then the coaching of his previous team wore off and he began playing Sabres hockey.

Reminds me of this debacle: https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-heidi-bowl But in this case, it’s Annie and not Heidi and you would rather see them than watch the Sabres.

Someone said it in the Kane thread I believe. But this sounds like masterclass Adams. Leak something out there that signals we are looking to improve, but put a “not an intense” clause in there as an out because everyone knows it’s not going to happen. But, in case anyone missed it, he tried!

But one of these statements is inconsistent with the others. I don’t understand how these 3 statements can be all true.

Oakie has got to go. He’s a millennial Dad. We need a 1950’s Dad. He’s more acting like a big brother. We need someone to give these kids a kick in the rear. And, while I thank him for his service, Z can go as well. And I don’t want them replaced with Kulich/Rosen/Oslund types. I want mean SOBs. And while we’re at it, maybe package one of them them with Matthias for a mean SOB defensemen. We have a bunch of pussies on D.

I don’t understand why was are paying so much money on defense with very little results.

After the Blackhawks coverup and associated non-apology, this league has an image problem. They should be doing more to deter such behavior.

It’s not like Tage was lighting it up. Put Mitts on the top line like we did at the end of last season. Be prepared to give him a large contract due to this move.

If I were Adams, I wouldn’t give him one hot penny until he can get down to the gym and give me 2 pull ups. And I want him to go all the way up, not that cheating stuff.
