Interesting

 My god, how many Tweener defencemen can Kevyn Adams sign before he’s finally through?

Seriously. He seems to acquire 4 or 5 every ***** year.

Wow.  They're taking this no more no blocking the kids anymore seriously as even the 2 huge Russians might be fighting for playing time in Ra-cha-cha. 😉

Karmanos is in the running for AHL GM of the year by now, right?

[dudacek]

Jones, Metsa, Rathbone, Timmins, Docker, Brannstrom, Poolman, Clague, Bryson, Davies, Prow, Cecconi, Bartkowski, Priskie, Stillman, Davidson, Clifton, Hagg, Pysyk, Butcher, Wolanin, Lyubushkin, Fogarty and the immortal Matt Irwin.

24 of them!

In 5 years!

And most of them actually played for the Sabres!

I mean maybe it’s unfair to include Clifton and Lyubushkin, but none of these guys advanced to the 2nd pair and all of them were healthy scratches, if their NHL careers continued at all after Buffalo.

Finding an NHL defenceman on the border of an NHL career and ending it seems to be Kevyn’s signature move.

It’s like he legitimately believes people will mistake quantity for quality when it comes to thoroughness in addressing the roster 

This is just busy work

In terms of the depth chart, it now sits at

• Dahlin
• Byram
• Power
• Kesselring
• Samuelson
• Timmins
•  
• Bryson
• Jones
•  
• Clague
• Johnson
• Rathbone
• Novikov
• Komarov
• Beliveau 
• (Metsa)

Edit: scratch Clague. Thought he was still under contract, but he signed a deal with the Jets.

So basically, Jones is replacing him.

Also not sure if Metsa got an AHL deal or an NHL deal.

and people wonder why the defense and team suck.  You forget Rathbone, who played 28 games with Van, the immortal Brandon Davidson and Casey Fitzgerald.

Anybody else look at the title and think Zay Jones?

No it doesn’t since he didn’t have to lose Docker.

lol, I've just never heard of him. It's beyond ridiculous this year. I'm starting to wonder if the conversation between Terry and Kevyn was: "So Terry, Dahlin says he wants out if we don't get it together and start building a winner". "Oh does he? Well screw him, let's tank and start over with McKenna. We can get it right this time."

[Justin C]

I bet Rangers fans found him untouchable in the Eichel trade talks.
