If they were a normal team they would not have drafted Savioe, Östlund, Kulich, all centers, all in round 1 of the same year.. They took a center the prior year (Rosen). How many 18 year old centers did they think they can use? Maybe one or two of those picks gets packaged for other critical needs that were more immediate? More veteran help would have improved the team faster, while the teenagers develop.

Two reasons. 1. Talk around the league of him not giving his FO and coach hires a legit chance. 2. Adams puts up with all the constraints.

Regarding Savoie, why would anyone think he would not start to dominate the AHL? This is normal. I expect he will be a good NHL player someday too. Maybe not a star, but good. He has skills. He is small (short) but built thicker and with a strong lower body. Once he matures and gets stronger he will play somewhere in the NHL, probably middle 6 over a career. Until then he will dominate in the AHL like many others.

They picked a guy they know and like. It was easy. It had marketing flair. What could go wrong? Berube didn’t get a call to interview. He is making the Leafs a better team though.

Yes, I said this earlier. I’m not giving McLoed, Beck, and the others F grades when this team is run by clowns. All the line shuffling is hurting, not helping, their record proves it. Ruff is shuffling lines because he doesn’t have enough NHL players on the roster. McLoed showed he was a 3C in this league before he came here and he started out just fine playing with Greenway and Benson/Zucker. His offensive game is not as good as Mitts, but defensively he is better in certain facets of the game. He is not a guy anyone expected to carry a big scoring load. He has played on every line and with every forward. This shuffling is not helping anyone, it’s just becoming more desperate This team is extremely weak at center. I still do not believe Tage is a center, and I think that the concept of playing him at center to give him “more room” is garbage. That is a youth hockey coaches mentality to showcase his best player. In the NHL he is not strong enough defensively to play center, and that part of his game is not improving. He is not a puck carrier playmaker. He is a shooter/finisher that should be a top line winger. Cozens is a 3rd line player at this point. McLoed is a 3/4. Krebs is a spare part. This roster stinks. The 91 point aberration is long over.

Peterka is struggling under the pressure. He has been demoted and benched, and he probably hates this season right now. The big boss told them all that no help is coming. Ever feel like your situation is hopeless? Hockey is not fun anymore for Samuelsson, Power, Peterka, Quinn and Cozens. You can see it in their faces. Besides the obvious Thompson and Dahlin, these guys are the key chosen ones of the Adams rebuild. Roster slots were provided, no blockers were allowed, absolute minimal veteran help has been provided, big contracts were given way too soon, and Adams is holding back cap money for Quinn and Peterka as we speak. This is an entitled group that lacks mental toughness. So now the reality of it all hits. Their confidence is gone and all the simple things that they expect to do get harder. Mistakes multiply.

Your plan is to chew them out publicly, add cash to FO, then hire an outsider as POHO? How about hire a POHO first , let him restructure the FO, the coaching staff, and the roster. While he does that Terry stays the fu@k away.

He has 140 goals in the past 8 seasons. He played in Minnesota for 8+ years and he had a 3+ year stint in Pittsburgh, so not a true journeyman at all. He had 27 goals just two seasons ago. He has six 20+ goal seasons, one was 30+. He is proof that there are guys who can help us.

No, you can’t go all veteran or all prospects. BALANCE is needed. There is no magic formula, it depends on the players.

There is a rumor that he and Terry are friends, and that he has an FO position lined up after 2 years as HC.

Zooker scores ahh gain.

Hanafin, Peitrangelo, McNabb, Theodore are the Vegas top 4 defenders. All are big, strong, smart, veterans We really need a few of these types to help Dahlin or Power/Byram. l still don’t get the Byram trade, even though he looks better than Power lately.

Eichel with the Coup des gras

Sure. Which told the rest of the players in the league how he operates. Terry has had a lot of bad contracts, maybe he should let someone else run the team?

I guess our plan is to lull Vegas to sleep, then score 3 quickies.

Terry has to carry the stain of the Eichel surgery decision. He told the entire league that a player he signed to a long term extension as his cornerstone was not worth the risk. ROR was honest and he got shipped out. Terry has a wonderful reputation.

He won’t spend a dime to help them. He doesn’t know what to do next.

Better than fast food golabki, frozen golabki, and canned golabki.

Samuelsson stinks. It’s incredible that he cannot play better.

I think you are describing either not caring or just giving up.

They are back to the way they started the season. Like they don’t know each other or what to do.

My feed is really bad. Gonna reboot everything. .
