In the cap era it’s true.

Trading for a ‘franchise’ goalie is a huge mistake every single time it’s done. Draft and get lucky is the only way.

Any good manager knows it takes 2-3 years before the effects of a change in management actually takes place.

Is josh wearing a tinted visor now?

If we get 3 1sts, it’s a five year rebuild ^^

Signing Ullmark to 7 years was going to be a mistake. Guy is perennial injured. There’s high hopes prospects in the system he’d tie up precious cap keeping long term. KA did the right thing. Could we have signed other UFA goalies? With our reputation probably not. I think KA didn’t believe in Krueger and didn’t want to waste assets getting a goalie when it wasn’t going to change the fundamental problem. also I disagree that goalies can be ruined too early. Either you have guys who step up to challenges or you have guys coasting on their size and technique. And the latter category never wins cups. It’s always a hot goalie. Need to find goalies with that potential no matter how it goes.

Rebuild timeline is entirely Jack trade dependent.

PPG in AHL under 20 is late first value

I’m not sure why we would be passing up the opportunity to get William Carrier back 😎

I think it’s fair for him to count as one of four firsts, but not the centerpiece

Rangers trades suck

If Hagg plays at all we’re losing Butcher-Pysyk is a bottom pairing. Jokiharju is good but can’t handle top minutes and match ups, at least yet. This is where someone like Samuelson comes in and shines.

Did “the process” get trademarked? Can Sean allow for Granato to start using it? We went through years of people arguing against it for the Bills and it’s clear who won out. Some say it took some luck along the way, but they drafted “off the board” based on their own criteria and it no longer looks like luck anymore. I think KA’s comments about staying true to the plan and not letting emotions taking over the decisions is how we can translate lip service into reality. Every team says culture matters, but then goes out and ignores it decision after decision. I’d give it time before saying it’s not working yet. I literally couldn’t watch it. I’d fall asleep in ten minutes each game. It was baaaad

Peca and St Louis we’re two of my favorite players. Peca played big. Could retrieve pucks. Not some euro perimeter player

And both players are 3rd line ceilings.

Nice strawman. His skill and play style doesn’t overcome his size. He will score, but always be a negative overall

Can’t handle the big boys, will put up points but will also be running around as other teams too lines feast and score goals. Career AHLer

Ruotsolainen is so overrated

If Jack chooses his own surgery he probably voids his contract and the agent is SOL

🤮

NFL hates Buffalo and would move us to Austin in a heartbeat. They’d probably move us to London if it wasn’t for COVID. Especially as the team is good and the city would embrace a good team out of the gate. Funding stadiums is also a total scam. Enjoy the Bills while we can

The one that took Kane beforehand

The defense won’t be that bad. Just young.

It’s not wrong in their approach. It’s just who is doing it and how KAs main point in his presser is stick to the plan. Don’t get emotional. Don’t speed things up. Stick to it. That 100% is someone telling the owner to stay out and don’t undermine the process. That owner saw what the Bills have done and is now listening. Jack isn’t the leader. He hasn’t faced adversity except by blaming others when it’s happened. Hey may never do so. Start over
