Get guys gone

Deadline day! Let’s gooooooo

All your base are belong to us

STILL only 9 points out. We aren’t gonna make it but Tampa is ass

I’m not so sure

How does Comrie look

It’s so innocuous it’s almost more believable

I guess Adams is trying to DO the Nashville model from a few years back, no? Somewhat? If D is going to be your strength make it REALLY your strength, multiple great defenders, and strong tending, whether it’s the massive Rinne/UPL or the diminutive Saros/Levi?

Mittelstadt was a great name, fun to say. On that front Bowen Byram is a very reasonable return Bowen Byram

We benefited from it vs Carolina it giveth and taketh Tired: ^ Wired: Send Comrie to Rochester and play Ryan Johnson in goal

If Dylan Cozens and Bowen Byram, however, do it, it’s probably a good omen for this team getting a little more serious about winning

Lol no. They don’t need to do anything anyone says. they just need to make the playoffs once It is not a “flex” to judge based on actual results.

I assume he meant pass-first tho, so I prob wouldn’t include Quinn. To me he’s more like a Mark Stone duel threat on each play I think the Habs have 5 guys from that draft too

Well, Krebs

Lord help us tho if “who even was there?” gets uttered. If you willingly create a hole, you are amendable to the results regardless of how much the market doesn’t want to hold your hand

Absolutely true. And they’d be right to. Unfortunately for Kevyn Adams, and all GMs, hindsight need not apply: it is literally their job to find results, not to “make decisions that seem defensible at the time”. Every GM *thinks* they are making the right move. They are literally judged based on the actual result. That’s why they are paid professionals

I do get a kick out the fact that, before the deal, we could only hear about how the name of the game is try and “run 4 lines” like the 06 Sabres, how Casey allows us a Roy/Vanek/Pominville line, and now that he’s gone it’s just..”ah, what do we need a good 3C for? Expendable” just an observation, no point to make

Poorly. It’ll be Dahlin

Perhaps a better term is reclamation

I’m sure he’s a great dude. Like in real life. In so far as I maintain we actually know little to nothing about celebrities, and athletes are no exception. But, nonetheless, from what we can tell. That being said, and somewhat contradictory to that idea, I will say to me that this character on my Sabres tv show is clearly ultimate Bro dude when you are as old as me, well it’s sort of self explanatory

I cannot stand Krebs lol I’m sorry. Like I won’t lie and pretend like i think he’s a bad player because im hiding a bias. I’m putting it out there, outright. I am not a reliable narrator for analysis of his on ice play haha

Every fan and their mom thinks the national guys are biased because they are conditioned to the playcalling of their local Homer Simpson on the broadcast

On the other hand..

Leafs played that 2 on 1 about as poorly as possible Shootout favours Buffalo. If UPL is calm he can basically just stand there
