You are making my point; it’s not about the player, it’s about the time frame. It’s about the build we do not need this guy at this time we don’t need good prospects right now

Plus, guess what, last I checked, PLAYERS ALSO PLAY DEFENCE AT 5 V 5! How’s our goal differential?

They hit 4 posts this period and we have a PP now or never

Still not a noun

This is absurd, im sorry imagine thinking after all this time it can still be drastically over-simplified as one variable

4 V 4 is good

Considering how particularly strong our performance was last year in the portion of the season coming AFTER teams might have already concluded us to be a mediocre team (it was in March after falling well out of the race), I think what you propose is very possible. I think these guys can be what we saw but it’s a chess game and it’s a dance: other teams took action against us and we didn’t do anything this offseason. We had no counter for what was always coming

Compete isn’t even a real noun I doubt it’s a real answer to our problems

I generally think what seemingly manifests visually as “lack of effort” is a result of being acted upon by another team

Players being indecisive when faced with a responsible challenge from an opposing player is reflective of talent. It’s reflective of hockey sense

I think a lot of people, including Kevyn this past summer, overestimate our actual roster

I’m more concerned with the Time variable than the size variable. it’s way stronger

UPL looks sharp

Robert Thomas of matchbox 20 fame

He’s too young

Oh that goes without saying

Sabres don’t play down to anyone lol. Sabres are down

Trade it

Good thing is Reinhart was much the same way: definitely something that a player can improve obviously Gambler’s fallacy says due!

Lol ok damn i don’t understand their valuation at all in that case, IF they are indeed shopping him. It could be they are very hockey trade focused for him: if that’s the case, so be it

And there are people saying Adams shouldn’t even be canned if we miss NEXT year. It’s divorced from realistic standards It’s off wandering aimlessly in the desert

I agree. People are often like, “right or wrong, they don’t have the baggage we do, this is only Adams’ 4th year, he isn’t amendable to what came before.” Ok. There are *5 teams total*, out of 32, including Buffalo, that have current droughts 4 years or longer. 4 years is a long time: most teams don’t get that far. The build had been long just in Kevyn Adams years. It’s not just something said, it’s true: we are so divorced of any real standards people have forgotten we’ve forgotten

Like father, like fan

Fair enough. You should have SEEN how much LEGO I was going to ask for
