Amazing how slow some people drive in the middle lane and hold up traffic. They drive like Geraldo Rivera reports.

Lol. 40 year old goalie. Upgrade city. At least he is a solid leader. Devin Dubnyk next?
No. David Ayres.

I don’t think they care anymore. They have bigger fish to fry.
And, WADR, that's your entitled opinion.

Honest question for all of you: do you believe that the Pegulas love losing seasons?

Regardless of what people may think of Adams, we have to give a little deference to Granato right? Dan may not be in charge of acquiring players but I am assuming they’re all working together. I don’t know what the plan is. I think we’re missing a massive amount of key information here and we are all reacting to something we don’t know about.
Maybe it’s as simple as Terry and Kim pulling all their cash back. Maybe there are trades to be had in the future. I don’t know. I’m willing to give this new group a shot.
Let me just point out that a couple years ago most people on this board jumped all over my ***** when I said it wasn’t the Bills plan to win that certain year and they were clearing the cap. Everyone here wanted everyone fired. Everyone associated with the Bills were incompetent. And look where they are now.
I honestly think that taking a few years off from this place actually did me a lot of good. I've been trying to pay closer attention not just to the team, but also to what every poster is saying when I get a chance to get on here and get a better understanding of their hockey sense. It goes without saying that some are balanced, and some are not. I can tell that some are not pleased at all with the off-season moves based on their POV. The added gray hairs on my lion's mane have led me to take a wait and see approach instead of calling for the GM's head like I did with Darcy Regier in the past.

Disappoint or not I don't credit the Pegulas. They caught lightning in a bottle.
Reality is that they will get at least some credit. That's just how things work. I mean, wouldn't you if you owned a championship team?

Caggiula
I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I had to do a double take to make sure I was reading Caggiula, and not Caligula.

Boring. Go to the tank thread and yell into the void. This doesn't have to be in every thread.
Indeed. It's getting older than Rip Van Winkle.

I'm trying not to lose it, but I am not feeling good about next season. I'm not about to throw KA under the bus, but it seems like the insiders are clearly not happy with what he's done in the off-season.
If you really think this is bad, let's not forget when Drury and Briere skipped town. That may have been the beginning of our downward slide.

It's going to be Paul Stastny 7m a year for 2 years
I remember when the Stastny brothers caused us many fits when they were with the Nordiques.

At what point does it end. You have your rankings. The Sabres have theirs. The Sabres draft guys accordingly to their list, which doesn’t match yours. Then you get mad and repeatedly tell us how dumb the Sabres are. It must be exhausting.
It can be challenging to keep up, especially with the inside hockey posters. It becomes a game of half dozen of one, half dozen of the other. It's one of those things where I just can't go all in on one side and stick to certain talking points even when I know I'm wrong or have lingering doubts.

I think you've hit on the crux of it. Macro-tanks happen. But you have to manage micro-tanks. I want Granato to put in place his philosophy and system, which, ultimately have to be about winning every single freakin' game starting Game 1. You put that in place and carry it to seasons 2, 3, 4...
If anything, at least Granato knows hockey. It's in his blood, especially with brother Tony and sister Cammi. General Panzer, er, I mean, Ralph Krueger, had a philosophy that just isn't meant for the game.
The long of it and the short of it is that it goes without saying that we all desire to see not just immediate but also long-lasting positive results. The 2018-2019 St Louis Blues are an excellent case in point.

Once you get passed the 2nd round every draft is a crap shoot and you are looking for a kid with something in his game that is elite such as a shot or skating or physical game etc... You then hope to develop the rest. VO is the classic example. Elite shot and good skating, but everything else needed work.
I admit that I was being facetious in my metaphor. Agreed on the crap shoot, though.

We were lucky to get him when we did. His ratings from most of the scouting services were significantly higher then where we got him.
At that rate, we might as well have gone mining for diamonds in Arkansas.

It would be healthier if fans phrase this as “one year of Sam” is worth…
I hadn't even thought of that.
Having said that, I feel like this place has a lot of friendly fire going on. Some of us are calling for patience, while others are acting like Varuka Salt and want their Stanley Cup now.
Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition!!!

Welcome new guy.. who makes more than the leaders now. Obviously Barkov will demand a high salary the next go round. Looks like the Panthers have a ton of contract work to do next year actually.
Wasn't Barkov in the same draft class as Risto?

I dont even want this guy taking up value in my Reinhart trade
I understand your concern. ATST, let's not forget that Victor Olofsson was a 7th round pick.

There is a lot of hand-wringing over pieces that haven't even been confirmed. It's all speculation at this point. God Lord, chill out already and see how it plays out.
Exactly. Just watch who says what. We each have an established pattern, whether we'll admit to it or not.
