26 year old undrafted left-handed defenseman who has played 1 NHL game. Sounds about right.

This move gets a nod of respect from the Coyotes.

So Jack is healthy enough to play a pick-up hockey game. Hmm. Excuse me, while I go scream into a pillow for 25 minutes.

Like rats abandoning a sinking ship...

So are we at the point when the question is not if Adams is tanking or not, but are they tanking intentionally or is it a result of rank incompetence?

A team that is proud of its culture (and the 15 wins it's going to post next season).

I guess that the rest of the league isn't buying into the whole, 'we're trading out best players for guys who really, really, really, really want to be here' strategy. Who would have guessed?

I hope this settles quicker than the Reinhart trade. I don't know if I can spend another night waiting for info from the Adams administration.

The only team that could out-tank them is a team with NO goalies! 😄 😁😆 Wait a minute....😶

Coyotes determined not to lose another tank battle with the Sabres this season.

Here's an article from a couple seasons ago that might provide some context with players venting frustration. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/connor-mcdavid-frustration-reverberating-across-hockey-world/sn-amp/

Haha, that guy sucks! Tampa Bay Lightning, what a bunch of rubes! 😳

That list is tank-tastic.

There's possibly a 75% chance that this statement is true.

No, he's doing it like Botterill did, which is worse.

Says more about the braintrust than the player, and that doesn't bode well for the team.

Yeah, they just took another winger. Hard to imagine what the center position looks like in Rochester over the next few years. The Red Wings look like their building from the net out. Not the most exciting strategy, but it makes sense.

There would have to be more than one center prospect coming back in a trade. The pipeline is pretty dry after Cozens.

Building a team from the wings in is a common strategy, I think?

So Adams doesn't believe that any centers taken in the first three rounds of the last two drafts will make it to the NHL? That doesn't seem right. The lack of center prospects in the pipeline will hurt this team in the near future.

I agree. This team has no intention of competing for a playoff spot this season. We'll see if Adams has the sense to protect the younger guys (keeping Cozens in Rochester), but Dahlin and Mittlestadt are the next guys to go.

If Hall wouldn't have signed here without the NMC, then Kev should have moved on. There's no reason why Sabres GMs have to be pants'd on every deal they make.

It would have if our rube GM didn't add a NMC to Hall's one-year $8M contract.

When Eric Staal was entering his 6th year, yes he was worth a 1st round pick. If they they decide to trade Olofsson, should Kev the Rube ask for nothing higher than a 7th round pick?

Because that's how the NHL works?
