Whoever trades for Olofsson, put down $20 on them winning the cup next season.

I said they do want to win, but they're not in a big hurry. Vegas, while certainly in a different situation, tried to win the cup from day 1. They would have tried to fix their goaltending if they tried to win this past season.

Yeah, you're correct. But his comment still can apply to the current squad.

It's to win in a few years, Adams didn't make significant moves at the deadline or to get a playoff caliber goalie yet. Yeah, I think they want to win, but they're in no hurry. I think that's Jack's point. And he's spot on.

Now if we can only make the playoffs someday, we'll have the last laugh.

Olofsson

For who?

The city... it's the only consistent factor in the 53 years. It's just cursed.

Strong management. It all starts at the top.

The organization, not the fans.

maybe not like crap, but all the criticism that goes along with a 12 year drought while trading away future cup winners, conn smyth winner(s)... ,

We deserve it.

Gotta think Buffalo is the furthest thing from his mind. Why would he bother? This is a fun time for him, why bring up the crappy past.

Interesting thing about Vegas, with all of their success, they've had 3 coaches in 6 seasons. Pretty crazy.

Obviously, if rebuilding , Winnipeg would look to capitalize on moving big assets. Trading them to a team only looking for a one year rental would not yield a good enough return. I would expect the Jets to seek out a partner looking to sign him. A one year rental as a last resort.

Doesn't UPL have to clear waivers to go to Rochester? I see a trade as I can't imagine Levi backed up by UPL for the season.

Another 'mentor' comment. You don't make a blockbuster deal for a player to be a mentor. Mentors are overrated, we have coaches to teach players. Mentors can help, but everyone gets really carried away with them.

I like Levi, but i think his size is a legit concern. I hope I'm wrong. I'll just keep having thoughts of Roger Crozier. KA ain't gonna trade him anyway.

So you understood that to mean that all big goalies are great ? If I thought UPL was the guy, I likely would have said so. I read you comments and they're usually worth reading, this one wasn't one of them.

I started following him in high school when it was said that he and McDavid were the 2 big guys in the draft, He was my favorite player on the Sabres and I hope he wins the Conn Smythe. He's done nothing to change my view of him. He was smart enough to get out while the getting was good. Obviously, a life changing decision in the most positive way. We should all be so wise.

So the 2 surgeries in the past year have helped. Makes sense.

He was one of our top players the last month or so. I would really like to keep him.

I didn't even mention UPL, this was about Levi and Hellebuyck. Not sure how you got there.

The question was 1 for 1, with an extension. Not any other scenarios. There's a chance, not sure a 'damn good' chance. He's pretty damn small, that gives me great concern. It's not a small goalies game anymore.

Why? Because one is a proven top 5? goalie that would immediately make us a legit contender, the other isn't even close.
