The best would be if Adams and Jarmo weren’t on the same page for roles and Jarmo just started dealing guys at the combine without Adams knowing about it.

Why are people so convinced that you can only make one deal? You can make multiple trades and signings to improve your team. And why are people so attached to the players that have failed to win anything? Outside of Dahlin, move anyone who makes the team better.

I just watched a documentary on Harold Ballard and the Leafs of the 70s and the part about bringing Punch back to be GM of the Leafs was not pretty. A lot of the players said he was out if touch and did a ton of damage to the team.

Hopefully Jarmo’s ideas are better😃

I remember thinking “what is the 3rd piece? Please be Lundell”

I still laugh when I think of Terry flying into Montreal to give his “answer is in the room” speech and Kevyn stands in front of the media and says “Let me tell you what Terry said in the meeting was impressive.” Just peak cowardly yes man ass kissing.😁

I almost think the only hope now is that Pegula has realized he doesn’t know as much as he thinks and bringing Jarmo in is the start of that.

If you watch the Blue and Gold draft episode with the Kulich draft. Adams is in the phone the whole time talking to Pegula and telling him every single thing they are thinking and trying to do. It’s pretty cringy to watch.

I have a feeling this is the only year they do this decentralized draft. Bettman is not for it and some of the teams are already regretting it,

“The Expansion Seattle PWHL team has named John Tortorella as their first head coach.”

This is where Jarmo would come in. Adams is so obsessed with Levi being the answer that he can’t see any other option. Hopefully Jarmo can shake it up a bit in that front office. Ive always liked Vladar but he’s never taken that step I thought he would.

Trade the pick, Martin, Bear or McQueen are all decent outcomes for me.

I’m not following this thread. Do people want Torts back as associate coach or as part of the front office or something?

I think they need to do something new in net. I would have loved to sign Freddy Andersen but Carolina reupped him. I would role the dice on Demko for a year or see if Gibson is still available (not sure with Quenville there now). But UPL-Levi or UPL Reimer like backup is a non starter for me.

Could we order a Gavrikov and an Ekblad?😁 Fabbro is probably a realistic option

Something tells me we have not heard the last of the Elias Pettersson to Buffalo rumors leading up to July 1st when his NMC kicks in.. EP40+Demko for Norris+UPL? Norris is one of Quinn Hughes best friends and Vancouver would want a centre back. Add in Byram and Hronek and make it a good old fashioned crazy blockbuster to shake things up. A Jarmo influenced deal😝 I don’t think it will happen but I do think we will here EP40 linked to Buffalo again as the July 1st deadline nears.

Kevyn: “Jarmo, if say one wanted to hypothetically acquire a top 4 RHD and a starting goalie how would one hypothetically go about that?”😁

JFC this is about to go completely south and I can’t think of anyone I would want overseeing this less than Adams. And part of me wants to see a complete implosion since this is what Terry deserves.

Demko, Gibson, just something different at this point.

Anyone have a flux capacitor lying around? I’d like to go back to 2017 for a moment😁

Dreger says Marner is gone and there is mutual interest with Vegas. That means a lot of salary out the door for the Knights. Go make a deal with them. Karlsson, Roy, Hague Whitecloud are all possibilities

I think he’s a good player he just always seems injured. If he can stay healthy great but IDK. If they could acquire Rossi with other pieces and go: Norris Rossi McLeod Krebs down the middle that is not bad at all.
