Thorny Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Adams just said he felt strongly regarding his decision on Ullmark, so no more of the "he got bamboozled" stuff strongly regardless of the choice ullmark made as they felt prepared Again mentioned not wanting to "box out" players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want Ullmark at 5mil for 4 years. 3 years, sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted July 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 "Short term contract, hungry, high character, and help some of the younger guys in the room" - Kevyn Adams 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 It really sounds like Adams way of evaluating players is to give them as much playing time as humanly possible and see what happens, regardless of age or experience. That seems...very dangerous. Just now, Thorny said: Completely dodges the question about how this is different than 2014 I don't think in 2014 we had any young talent playing on the team. Adams sticking point seems to be that we're not tanking, we're just evaluating young talent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExWNYer Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 "Brought in guys who want to be here...high character." That's the mantra. It's obvious that he's willing to die on that cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get this is spin, right? They haven't brought in a player better than anyone already on the team - clearly a priority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams is basically saying the kids are getting the keys and the ones that swim we will keep and build around. Talking about building a team over time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they get the tank they want while at the same time letting the kids play as much as they can, which is also what they want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
