I don’t believe any GM can get Portillo to come when Levi is signing here at the same time.Guessing, 3 more years ?
Hasn't been perfect, but "seems" to learn from mistakes, trust his people for talent evaluation, and have human communication skills (unlike his two predecessors).
Can he build a playoff team, or make the next big deal, properly develop propsects, get Johnson, Portillo, and Levi to come ? Guess we will see now.
I'm guessing 3 yrs, one of the insiders should have the details (while closing up their cottages this week) by tonight/tomorrow.Multi-year how many years is this?
I'm happy, mostly I like Adams' work.
Probably. Lets hope they get a asset for him, same on Johnson if he's playing silly buggers.I don’t believe any GM can get Portillo to come when Levi is signing here at the same time.
When did his old contract end? Do we even know?What's the rush?
Does it matter? It's not our money being spent and isn't on the cap. Extend him for 20 year for all I care, it's Terry's money to burn if we need to fire him.What's the rush?
good bosses reward employees for good hard work. He was likely on the cheap previously so got a raise. Things are not getting any easier out there.What's the rush?
Exactly how I feel! Its lowkey amazing what he's done with the organization.
Yeah man, the market for Adams experience of......let me check here...."missing the playoffs by 20+ points every season he's been the GM" is sparkling. Real market demand. Good thing the Pegula's got out ahead of it.
We really have no idea what he was getting paid. He could have still been on his old deal for all we know, and just given a title change but everything else stayed the same.
Like others have pointed out, past contracts have fallen off and we no longer have to pay for employees not to work here.
I have seen enough from the prospects to see that he knows what he is doing with drafting.
At this point, if all these players don't work out, then its on the coaches. I would rather have to replace the coaches and keep the guy that was in charge of bring in the raw talent.
You can only play the cards you've been dealt, and all things considered I think he's done a good enough job with the disaster he was given that I want to see more.Yeah man, the market for Adams experience of......let me check here...."missing the playoffs by 20+ points every season he's been the GM" is sparkling. Real market demand. Good thing the Pegula's got out ahead of it.
We have seen 3 Adams draft picks play at the NHL level.
Three.
They have played a total of 12 games.
Let's talk about his drafting in 5 years.
In the end, it's the Pegula's cash and it doesn't affect the salary cap, so i guess they can waste it if they want.
None is perfect . Adams Done a really good job.Guessing, 3 more years ?
Hasn't been perfect, but "seems" to learn from mistakes, trust his people for talent evaluation, and have human communication skills (unlike his two predecessors) with the owners, fans, media, and league.

ps I hope they can keep Karmonos around as well, I believe he is a big part of this.
people with power and money have severe trust issues, at least the Pegula's found someone who they can trust who seems to be competent, have basic communication skills, and they stay out of the way now.Yeah man, the market for Adams experience of......let me check here...."missing the playoffs by 20+ points every season he's been the GM" is sparkling.

Thank you Mr. Kyle Dubas.Yeah man, the market for Adams experience of......let me check here...."missing the playoffs by 20+ points every season he's been the GM" is sparkling. Real market demand. Good thing the Pegula's got out ahead of it.

hopefully Adams is also allowed to reward his staff. I'm guessing it will be hard to keep Karmonos around long term when other gm jobs pop up.
