So far it’s worth a Malenstyn.

…. But you have been posting more lately and you are still emotionally invested in this off season. For me, the biggest issue with the JJP situation is that he was part of Adams original crew of young prospects. One year in the A, a beneficiary of “no blockers”, handed a 2nd line role, played for a coach that sheltered him and “will teach defense next year”, and now he wanted out and refused to negotiate. Just one year with a coach who demanded two-way hockey and he had enough. Maybe the losing contributed, maybe he was tired of the city, maybe all of the above? He refused to negotiate, and that is that. One of Adams chosen ones snubbed him Let hope that Kesserling, Doan, Timmons and Lyon can make a difference. That and the core players all have another good year. And the up and coming players like Kulich and Benson all develop further. The margin for error is zero. Otherwise this thing crashes down and Dahlin, Thompson, and Tuch could all move on.

I can agree to this. But JBD being the 8 was Adams spitballing because they acquired Kesserling and Timmons and Adams already committed money to his boy Bryson. I have high hopes for Kesserling.

Adam’s called him an 8, so he was slotted behind (4) Kesserling, (5) Muel, (6) Timmons, and (7) Bryson. I think Jones was signed after JBD was let go. Last season there were several people on this board that liked JBD as the 4 playing with Power. Some thought he could be the surprise of the Cozens-Norris trade, remember? We shall see soon enough what he does in Detroit. I don’t see any point in worrying about him being gone.

Good Lord No. Autocorrect got me. Byram. I meant Byram can stay if Adams cannot get good value.

I am at the point of hoping Bryson stays. Adam’s cannot he trusted.

Did he asked to leave? And is the guy they just signed (Jones) better? Is R Johnson better? Is Bryson better? No, no, and no. Is the team getting better?

SO RFAs will just say I'm out and that is it? Do you think JBD said he wanted out? I have not heard that or even thought of it but he should have been retained and was not so ....

FIFY

This sounds like poor team to me.

The new 8th D. Come on man. Keep track. 😂

No it doesn’t since he didn’t have to lose Docker.

The civics will run for over 300,000 miles.

Good move. McLeod is solid.

Florida will re-acquire Lyon at the trade deadline from Buffalo and he will win some big games for them on way to the cup. The Sabres will get a 4th rounder to help their next rebuild.

His record after 5 seasons is worthy of termination from any of the 31 other teams. His willingness to be a toady for Terry says a lot about the guy.

Maybe we trade the second line for draft choices and just run 2 fourth lines?

Adams loves to fine tune his 4th line players, his 6/7/8 defenders, and his 3rd goalies Always a step ahead on the fringes.

Could be because they need to also sign competent NHL players too!

6'4". 230 lbs \ fights, I guess? AHL 4th liner. Adams with a big splash

Too critical? So fire the long tenured producer who does not even go on TV and say anything? The job is being posted for a kid recently out of college who will make less than half the money of Joe Pinter. Maybe the new person will make it better but this is EEE at every turn.

Johnson didn't hit anyone in his rushed tenure but ok, he came to Buffalo so lets be happy for him.
