Big deal. The point is that “taxes” don’t have to matter. Apples to apples is exactly what Adams does: pick the convenient excuse for the moment, whichever that one is is the “apple.”
there’s a common denominator owner in Buffalo. That he hired 3 incompetent GMs isn’t a stretch it’s the most logical outcome. Adams has just proven to be significantly worse.
Yzerman is not a monolith. Because HE supposedly cant do it without that benefit, when many can and do, isn’t an excuse at all: it’s the exception that proves the rule. Adams and Yzerman are the anomaly. It proves his talents as a GM are now shallow. You are conditioned to think you can only ask for a below replacement level GM.
besides, Francis Ford Coppola made the godfather and megalopolis. We live in a world of human beings
