Just thinking about it. We’d make the playoffs if we added Ehlers. Barring catastrophic injury lucky. Our bottom 6 is too solid for a top 6 with a supplemented Ehlers to miss. I know there’s no guarantees but it would put us in a REALLY good position if we pulled that off. Prospect bandaid is ripped off. Let’s just part with a liiiitle bit more and get this done. We are pot committed. It’s time, anyways. Let’s get EVERYONE excited

The only thing that matters is the result. I‘m not declaring, nor even predicting success: merely stating that if we add a top 6 F, im not sure anything else could have been expected in terms of offseason supplementation. That’s just imo

That’s a salient point I’d imagine there’s a learning curve, too camp is extra important this year

Flip the L4 wings. It wouldn’t matter but you have everyone else on their proper side so

Well said

Something very satisfying about this, too. One year. UFA at the end. Guess what? He’s still on the team. He still counts. The year exists, we aren’t “renting” it.

I’m not sure it matters, as, assuming KA is indeed on the hot seat only playoffs makes a difference, but if we add a top 6 forward, by the prism of the moment at least we’d have to commend Adams on a very strong offseason. He’ll have checked all the boxes I can see

Mostly because “Forsburg” didnt play in the nhl

You read my posts in the thread and tell me

Will think of him every time I read that name

No one is overreacting

Let’s hope Lafferty comes to camp in shape. So that holds

Trades are ok. Depends who makes them Teams will in fact trade with buffalo fin

Both of these narratives can die for all I care

Kevyn Adams sitting in a chair in the dark as the lights turn on at key bank, as Malenstyn enters the room.. ”I thought you said you wanted to be here, Beck?” It’s still unspent

Gotta get Aube-Kubel on the right and Greenway bumped up but ya

Lafferty should present reasonable competition for him he likely doesn’t surpass That’s Twitter. The responses are always opposite to the tweet

There’s certainly a LOT of “how could you do this?” On twitter, but I think this thread has a better handle on the trade time will tell

It’s very true but, we may have the personal to play the old “hunker down and win 1-0, no style points” system if that happens

Didn’t his brother get into some trouble?

Ya it’s just tough to argue with the correlation between youth=failure to make the playoffs I’m not saying it’s binding but I’d feel more comfortable if we didn’t enter the year as the youngest again

I think I’d rather have Ehlers All prospects pools are overrated Draft picks are overrated

@dudacek this is very promising, this sort of represents the unfolding of exactly what I was hoping for when I talked about doing what we could to *separate* from the league in the bottom 6, if we couldn’t match up in the top 6. Not just address the bottom 6, elevate relative to other teams to make up the gap have to do something. This represents creativity from Adams

Do you know if we’ve gotten older?
