Doubt they are shown the door tbh. Do not think Adams *should* be shown the door, either. But making the playoffs is so clearly and obviously and by any reasonable rights the necessary “expectation” for a GM going into his 4th year on the clock, in that it cannot be “job well done” without it. But I don’t believe a failure to meet reasonable expectations justly and rightfully means firing, either. But I don’t see a convincing argument for why a team should bring back a GM if they go 5 years without making the playoffs, so that’s where my line falls. Maybe that’s an arbitrary number, but you have to draw the line somewhere and half a decade seems fair in that I can’t be convinced any sort of strategy was necessary that would take LONGER THAN THAT in a league half the teams make the playoffs. Why the heck should a slowest of slow builds take 6 years to field a playoff team? That’s absurd it’s an entertainment *product*. Make the gaddamn playoffs lol He has an additional 2 years to do it now after 3 years of free pass If that’s unfair, well, shoot me -

Maybe it takes the bigger guys longer to get up to speed, like Bowser in Mariocart…most of our core guys are more less giants.. regardless, and either way, it’s only one game -

No, there’s no middle ground The expectation in year 4 of a GM term is playoffs Going young, I cannot stress this enough: by choice, doesn’t change that. By that logic you could ice a team of rookies every year indefinitely and supposedly never have any expectations. -

Levi has had a few quite nice saves and no stinkers getting beat by Panarin is expected degree of difficulty upgrade and he’ll have to find a different rhythm for those shots -

It’s the same reason the “we’re icing 2 rooks” thing doesn’t carry much weight- we are icing them, of course, by choice -

Kinda wished we started on the road, the splits from last year seemed to favourite it. it’s one hockey game, not taking too much from it personally -
