Kevyn Adams pre draft press conference and shenanigans festival

[LGR4GM]

I'll find the video but we can put all the nonsense in here. 

highlights:

Non answer on Peterka asking out

They've never considered buying out Samuelsson 

Official said all assistants are back

Tuch is a priority 

9 is in play but also they might use it

Idk, I probably missed something

 

[Porous Five Hole]

Jarmo will be working remotely. 
 

He didn’t deny the JJP trade rumor, so you can assume a trade was asked for.  

[LGR4GM]

Should note also Adams very defiantly said the rumors out there were all nonsense before he mentioned Samuelsson specifically

Hmmmm so another year with minor band-aids coming up

Exactly. I wasn't expecting much and it turns out it was less than that. I'm not surprised. The organization is rudderless. Hello 15 years.

I didn't bother watching the clip. What do you want him to say? I'm more concerned about what he does and not what he says. You're wasting your irritation energy on a vapid PR appearance. I expect some action on draft day. Jarma wasn't added to the payroll to sit on his arse and argue for the status quo. That's what my focus is on. 

What my desires are: I don't want JJP traded. 

I don't want Quin traded. 

I don't want Kulich traded.

I don't want Benson traded. 

I don't want Power traded. 

I don't want Samuelsson traded. (I'm not giving up on him.)

I want Byram traded. 

I want UPL traded. 

I want a couple of rugged defensemen added to the unit. 

I want an experienced goalie brought in. 

I want a second line forward added. 

Nothing extravagant. These desires are all doable. No excuses.

I’m getting tired of being served his nothing burgers.  

[Mr. Allen]

What was the point of this press conference?  Why did they even schedule it?

To show us they were busy working when nothing was done?

[PromoTheRobot]

Someone else compared Adams in a press conference 5 years ago to Adams today. He exudes the confidence of a whipped puppy.

Because otherwise Adams might have used the time to make a phone call to another GM or something crazy like that.

[Flashsabre]

He held it to show empathy. He knows we are all upset about the misinformation out there about Muel and he showed us support today.😀

This is as close to my opinion as one could get.

[French Collection]

So Mule is not getting bought out. Well, then he needs to be traded because he was given a nice contract and a letter and he doesn’t stand up for a fallen teammate.

Coaching staff is under contract, whoopty f***ing doo, everyone that gets fired in the league is under contract dipstick. Do better.

My fandom is on the ropes and then this loser comes out and says nothing. I know they are tight lipped about moves and that is OK even admirable, just don’t have press conferences until you do something then. Key words, do something. Hard to comprehend from Mr. Run It Back.

 Byram to the Flames for Blake Coleman and a 2nd.

That second flipped to the Hawks for Conner Murphy.

UPL and Östlund to the Canucks for Demko and Forbert, Demko quickly extended.

Done, easy-peasy?

I contend that fortifying the goalie position and adding a couple of defensive and more physical blue line players will make a big difference. The most consequential decision will be bringing in a goalie who will fortify that essential position. That's the biggest challenge for the front office. 

My expectation/hope is that Quinn, JJP, Power, Benson, Kulich and Samuelsson will be better. Am I being unreasonable? I don't think so. All these young players have enough experience where they should be a lot more comfortable in manly league.

Pre-draft press conferences are annual.

I suspect your take aligns a lot more closely to Kevyn Adams than you’d be comfortable with, given your recent posting history.

My heart is aflutter. Are you toying with me? There is a reasonableness and balance/equity to your proposals for all the parties involved.

Adam’s struggles to make one trade. Remember trade are hard to make😀

Empathy is the wrong word.  You are thinking of sympathy. 

Sympathy comes from a perspective of superiority.  There is no feeling of what it is like to be in someone else's shoes.

Empathy comes from a perspective of “this could happen to me”. Ain’t no way Kyvyn could have happen to him what is happening to the fanbase.

What do you expect?  A sudden change of stripes?

Remember, it has worked well in the past (last 5 years)!

Yes I meant sympathy. Thanks
