Samuelsson is literally gaurding the air when there is a guy directly off to UPL's right.

We also haven't set ourselves up for much success having an entire defensive core of all young inexperienced, puck moving dmen.

This is on Adams, you can't have all these young defensemen in and expect different results. Each line should have 1 defensive veteran defensemen not all young puck movers it's absolutely ridiculous. I don't mean some washed veteran like Eric Johnson.

I watched some of his Youtube videos and man does his shot look lethal. I'd definitely be taking shots on guys like this that's if he makes it to us but I hope he's someone we would take and not pass him up because of his eligibility.

I agree with this, although Cozens hasn’t lived up to his hype yet. I think there is much more for him to give. We have some center prospects in the pipeline none of them have the physicality of Cozens which we should be trying to obtain more of imo.

Are you sure? Every mock I've seen says James Hagans is the consensus #1 pick.

I mean at this point would and 8 goal lead be enough for this group? How are these guys called defensemen and have no clue how to play defense?

I couldn't care less if they win or lose, I don't think this team is built for playoffs even if they make it. Until Adams is out and we hire a legit GM this will be the norm. Pegula is going to have to luck into a GM like he did with Beane/McDermott.

I don't want Adams making a singular move for this roster. He has failed miserably at every aspect of his job now we're going to ask him to make a monumental move like this? I really hope he's canned before he can further destroy this roster. What realistically is a team willing to give up for Dylan Cozens? I don't want draft picks. I'd either want a top 6 forward or a top 4 Dman which I doubt a team is looking to get rid of their top 6 forawrd for a struggling top 6 forward. So what top 4 Dman would be acceptable?

How about that Russian kid Ivan Ryabkin? I say we keep taking Russian forwards until we find our Kirill Kaprizov. He surpassed Michkovs U17 point total by 2 which is impressive. He's under contract with the MHL until 2027 but the same was said about Michkov, this is a player I'd take a flyer on for sure.

Thanks, this is all I was looking for was some proof.

I'm not playing baby games with you man, either drop the link or don't.

I figured as much. It's like twitter in here, people can just say anything they want with no facts at all.

Show me where you read this, this seems conjured up.

I don't believe that to be true, there are only 32 GM job openings in the NHL, if you're sitting on the couch or in a lesser role in some other orginization then I think this would be very appealing to a GM but I could be wrong. I really hated when Adams only went out and traded for Greenway, it was a great trade but we needed more but this whole "I don't want to block anyone" is garbage, who are you blocking? If there legit NHL players they'll find a way into the lineup. This guy just isn't good enough or experienced enough to make the necessary moves to get us not only in the playoffs but keep us there also.

I just don't believe this to be true at all, so everything they've done right is dumb luck, everything bad is because they meddle? And take Josh Allen out of the equation and what do you have? Ok take Tom Brady away from the Pats, take Patrick Mahomes from the Chief, that's a terrible argument imo. I'm pretty sure Pegula has alot of say at least on the hockey side of things but I don't think it's lack of trying at least for head coaches... He wen't with with old coaches Ted Nolan/Lindy Ruff/Dan Bylsma, new coaches in Ron Rolston/Phil Housley/Don Granato and the outside the box hire of Ralph Krueger. Also I don't think it was a lack of trying for players either as they drafted Jack Eichel and he stayed with matt Moulson's family, had Brian Gionta as captain while bringing in guys like Evander Kane, Ryan O'Reilly, Brandon Montour. Also drafting Sam Reinhart, Linus Ullmark amongst other and later even adding Taylor Hall. Where I think we've gone wrong since Regier is that every GM we hired was a 1st time GM, this time around we should go with a GM who has done it before and even if he wasn't successful lately I think having any sort of past success will be beneficial to us but that's my take on it.

It had to have been and I bet it would have had to been a massive overpay for him to come here, he only got a 2 year 13M contract from Carolina so either Adams is lying again or just didn't want him bad enough.

Necas I believe used us for leverage to sign in Carolina but I read somewhere Ehlers was onboard but wanted a long term deal. I guess Adams didn't want to block the future here and would rather keep losing.

I can't believe Adams said "We don't want to make a trade just to make a trade and block the future". Dude what future? So far his best draft pick is JJ Peterka and was gifted Zach Benson. Drafted Jack Quinn 8th overall 2020, Owen Power 1st- Isaak Rosen 14th in 2021, Matthew Savoie 9th- Noah Östlund 16th- Jiri Kulich 28th. Savoie is no longer with us, Quinn has been a monumental bust this year, Power is still struggling mightily defensively, Will Rosen ever make this team? I really like the prospects of Kulich, Östlund, Helenius and Novikov, not all of them will pan out is my guess and my gripe that I consistantly have with this team is that we can clearly see Quinn, Jokiharju and Power weighing this team down in some way, shape or form. I get not benching our 8M a year defensemen but there is no excuse parading Quinn and Jokiharju out there night after night. Let's see what we have in Rosen, bring back Ryan Johnson or give Novikov a shot but just hoping one of their games magically come back to life is beyond stupidity and I'll be perfectly honest I thought Ruff would have addressed these issues but he had accountability issues in New Jersey which I was weary of when we signed him.

We have another passer who is afraid to shoot in Kulich. Now we know what types Adams looks for, skilled passers who are timid shooters.

Just like this team, a loser point.

He's the gift that keeps on giving.

Why does Quinn get a pass? His achiles has nothing to do with him not being able to score goals, dude is lost in every sense of the word. Also wouldn't you try an bulk up a bit to be able to at least absorb hits? Not saying this so he can turn into a grinder/fighter just more so he can take those hits better. He goes down like a sack of potatoes way too often.

It’s pretty obvious, deal the ones who are weighing us down. I don’t want to hear this “everyone will refuse to play here”, didn’t Ehlers say he’d come here? Why is he still on Winnipeg? We didn’t even spend to the cap. Why would anyone go to a game when this organization clearly doesn’t care about its fans. This team still lacks motivation and heart some after spending 3-4 seasons with each other now.

Might have to play depending on Dahlin.
