Didn't Kozak go back to Europe? Or am I thinking about somebody else?

Well, he's from Manitoba so probably someone else.

I warned you guys; Helenius for Rust, Byram for a pick and a lesser D.

Those deals are still out there.

Its beginning to look less like Christmas. 
Quick, someone loosen Terrys purse strings and stuff him in a closet. My faith in Adams getting anything tangible done is done actually. But what can ya do? There’s always next year.

That would be a terrible deal for Buffalo.

Nah, it still looks like Christmas, just at the Bender family.  Relevant portion starts at 2:00.  VERY NSFW due to language.

Im excited for Adams to come on and talk about having honest conversations with players. 

I think if this continues we wont see him talking for awhile... lol 

[dudacek]

SAN Jose has $44M under the cap and 8 roster slots open.

Potential for some bad contracts there.

Ehlers and Granlund the two top 6 forwards left.

Winnipeg and Carolina the 2 good teams with room to sign them.

[dudacek]

Lots of bad teams with room for a big get: Ducks, Jackets, Hawks, Penguins Flames and Wings all with at least $15M to play with.

For Jeannot

It is too much money but at least it is also too long.

Does that include Skinner's buyout?

Before we criticize Adams for not signing players it's important to note that the player would have to want to sign here.

We've established that Buffalo is not a destination for players.  Certainly not UFAs with options.

If your options are:
"The team that holds the record for longest playoff drought in NHL history and is a laughing stock of the NHL"
OR
"Anyone else"

You are choosing "Anyone Else".  You simply cannot blame Adams for that.

We all can blame Adams for a ton of other things though!  He's guilty of a lot of things. 

Now, why do players sign extensions here?  I have no freakin idea anymore.
