mjd1001 Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 (edited) Good. On paper, He looked like a decent fourth liner but it didn't seem to work out. Good to get something for him and good for him to move on. It's a small, but a good lesson, that sometimes the statistics on paper and even the analytics don't mean much if he doesn't mesh with the coach or the rest of the team.

steveoath Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 Good. I had him as my “biggest surprise” on the start of year thread. Didn’t realise the surprise would be how absolutely shocking at hockey he is. 1 1 Quote

#freejame Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 This is the second best move Adams has ever made. McLeod trade being #1 2 Quote
TheAud Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 So 2/3rds of the NAK, Lafferty, Malenstyn revamped 4th line that was supposed to help get the team to the playoffs last year is now off the team one year later. I wonder if Malenstyn gets traded later today. 1 1 Quote
dudacek Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 And another salary dump/roster clean-out. Very disappointing addition. Liked what I saw of him prior to Buffalo and thought he was going to be a good add. But he brought essentially nothing. 1 2 Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 Just BTW FYI, the vaunted 4th line from Adams last offseason adventure went from Aube-Kubel, Lafferty, and Malestyn to ... Malestyn. 1 Quote

shrader Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 Now add a center to the team that is better than the current next in line option Kozak. 1 Quote
dudacek Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 Kinda surprised we got a pick for him and had to add a pick to dump Conor Clifton. He might have cost $1M more, but least Clifton is a right-handed defenceman, which should have meant something. 1 Quote
Taro T Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 8 minutes ago, Brawndo said: Per Sabres PR Addition by subtraction. Had to look at the title of the thread twice to make sure it wasn't the Sabres sending Chicago the 6th rounder. He should've been a very good addition and he was absolutely horrible. 1 Quote

He's a great 13th forward. Will still end up playing 65+ games. Edit: I should add a great 13th forward that cost a 2nd round pick. Edited July 1 by TheAud Quote

#freejame Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 1 minute ago, Brawndo said: Where does signing him to begin with, rank on his list of worse moves? Conversely, not very high because we were never in a position to be competitive last year. Our fourth line is already better without him and now we have more money for (yacht) upgrades. Quote
DarthEbriate Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 From his time in Vancouver, I thought he was going to be the most pleasant surprise (exceeding expectations) on the roster at the start of last season. He was not. Good EEE, Adams. You just saved $2M. Now --- go spend the savings! (on a good player) 1 Quote
The Jokeman Posted July 1 Report Posted July 1 and this couldn't have be done during the draft? Lord Sakes. Yay we've opened up a spot on our 4th line. [/sarcasm] Quote
