He’s a tall lanky RHC with tremendous hockey sense, playmaking ability. Great skill but he doesn’t compete like a Martin or Bear. Has potential to be a top 6 centre. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=271144

Alas if only there was a top shelf NHL coach available with no coaching vacancies to fill league wide at the moment….oh wait.

Paging Liger!😁

Wake me up when Adams wins a playoff berth. Winning or losing an individual trade means nothing. It’s building a roster that can compete and win that means everything and Adams has failed miserably at it for 5 straight years.

Kevin Bahl is a LHD

I would love to see a new Blue and Gold where it is just Adams telling Jarmo his trade ideas and the camera just pans in on Jarmo’s facial reactions.😁

For me it’s a guy making $8 million a year and has only passed 35 points in a season once. Couple that with a guy who can’t stay healthy to save his life and you are “hoping” that he somehow comes around.

Perfectly fair. I just don’t rate Norris very highly. $8 million for a guy that has passed 35 points once in his career and you can’t count on him to stay healthy. I feel to get rid of his contract you are going to take on a risk back. EP40 is far from perfect for me but if Vancouver was interested in Norris he is the guy I would want back.

Do you feel EP40 and Norris are equal value? Do you feel Demko and UPL are equal value? I don’t think they are close.

$8 million for Norris who can’t stay healthy is so Sabres. I’d rather roll the dice on EP40 if I can move Norris in the deal. I have more confidence in EP40 returning to form and being healthy than Norris. I have no confidence in UPL. If I can roll the dice on Demko returning to form for one year then I take it. If he doesn’t then he is a UFA after the season and you walk away. Something significant has to change to change the Sabres fortunes on the ice. Take some swings.

I’m basically just logging on these days hoping to see a post stating that DeBoer was spotted in Buffalo with a blurry pic that sort of looks like him😛

https://canucksarmy.com/news/vancouver-canucks-offseason-centre-trade-target-josh-norris Canucks tried to trade for Norris at the deadline but it hit a snag and he went to Buffalo. Norris and Quinn Hughes are good friends. Lets get Stupid: Norris,, UPL, #9, prospect for EP40, Demko, 😛

I’d rather have Schneider from the Rags

Why does Terry fly to Montreal to give his “the answers are in the room” speech to the players? This organization can’t be so incompetent that they think that the speech will turn things around when they desperately needed help. But again this is a team that thinks the coaching staff is fine and the goaltending is fine so I have no clue.

Now why wouldn’t Buffalo be all over this? Pair him with Dahlin. Or Hague and Whitecloud and take care of your top 4. IF Vegas wants Marner then go grab some players from them

Panthers and their AHL team both in the Finals. If only they hired Bill Zito when they had the chance😳

That why the Jarmo hiring gives me a little bit of hope that Terry is realizing what a mess this is.

Go back and watch the Blue and Gold of when he was hired. He states he doesn’t know what he’s doing so he has a little book with him and he says he asks a lot of questions and writes the answers down in the book. It was embarrassing at the time and hasn’t improved.

It seems he wasn’t allowed. That was the point of Pegula flying into Montreal to give his “The answer is in the room” speech. That was the “you guys figure it out I’m not signing off on any deal right now” speech.

Here we go😁 He goes on LTIR for the season, Vegas signs Marner and at playoff time he miraculously recovers and plays. Rinse and Repeat for the Knights.

Those were good deals. The problem with Adams is that your house is leaking and you have to fix 5 things to stop it and Adams will fix 2 of the things and say “Mission Accomplished”

The story was the players wanted him gone and they convinced Jack to go in and drop the hammer to management because he was the one they would listen to.
