Wait what’s my issue with Gordie Howe hat trick

He definitely has a type.

I literally haven’t heard of him till today but the sabres acquired him so, would I be right in assuming he’s a shoot first player?

Bump

Well the good thing about less talented and good players is we don’t have to pay them as much (I’m sure that’s coincidental) That they are inexpensive is neither a reflection of their value nor the reasons we traded for them. PURELY coincidental

I wonder if the priority was getting the best return possible We’ll never know

Heck of an oxymoron well done

It’s a good place to start re: prediction for a Byram deal. Think player with good metrics in more limited minutes we think we can bump up to a larger role Remember: we aren’t looking for a guy with proven results, here: we are looking for someone unproven in an impact role but theoretically potentially able to play one

Banking on limited usage and hoping it extrapolates is what the Sabres do. So lazy. Just horrendous mechanics leading to this deal you know what, I’m starting to think there’s a at least a *chance* Kevyn Adams might not be a great general manager

Gross malpractice lol

McLeod is pretty well rounded but so is Rossi I believe. McLeod had 23 points the same age Rossi just had 60 So I’d imagine Rossi’s ceiling is quite a bit higher considering he’s already passed mcleods career outlier I don’t really think centres or passers are something Adams is interested in

He’s a centre, he’s 23, and his career points trajectory so far is 1-40-60

Friedman on the Fan 590 is adamant ADAMANT that Kesselring was a guy Adams was specifically targeting, and one league person told him earlier this summer “if one guy moves it’s Kesselring to Buffalo” so Adams focused on him as the guy we needed and traded what we needed to get him

So would you redo this trade given a chance given you said you wouldn’t do it for less than Robertson?

How do the players we got compare to Robertson in your estimation? total value

Hard to get traits for easier to find and cheaper. Their MO the new “revamped 4th line”

Well didn’t Adams say specifically that he was saving for the RFAs? Like we know that was what they WANTED us to think the plan was but I think he also outright said it multiple times

My son has a bad habit of losing his temper

you are such an angry little man lol. Please never change you agreed with me that the idea of trading JJ for nothing being considered “addition by subtraction” would be stupid - candidly I don’t really care about any of the other noise you are throwing into the discussion as you always do.

You literally typed out the idea trading JJ for nothing could be addition by subtraction was stupid. you agreed Too late buddy. Lmao

We can do the reading comprehension thing again: I don’t care about the emoji. I care you were so wrong. But like the sabres I should learn to be more accepting of such inevitable circumstances He would get lost on the way

The bold is all I was saying. You agree, so I stopped there. Stupid, exactly - - - In seriousness, I’ve said this before - I think you get so hot and bothered you struggle with reading comprehension sometimes. I wasn’t ever suggesting you made the addition by subtraction comment. Someone else did. You felt “seen” and responded to it I guess

it’s not the eye roll, it’s the fact you are so wrong about it Gaslighting is the act of disingenuously trying to make someone doubt their own belief. Disingenuous in this case because you are giving me an eye roll on a statement you agree with I would ask you straight up if you think a hypothetical JJ for nothing deal could be considered addition by subtraction, but I know you won’t answer. Too afraid to
