This f***ing handiness thing coming up, at the question of paying Byram btw…don’t ignore that, is infuriating.

Who’s been in charge of this shit, Kev? Whose been drafting and developing and trading and signing players for five f***ing years, Kev?

NOW it’s about handedness?

NOW it matters?

f*** you, pal.

Got mad at Adams when I read this, then I went and listened to it, and you totally mischaracterized the conversation.

Adams didn't bring up the handedness at all, Bulldog did. He basically just went along with what Bulldog was saying about having all lefties in your top 4 isn't ideal, but he also gave reasons why it isn't all bad. Reasonable response in my eyes. He also made it clear he wants to re-sign Byram.

Having said that, Adams sucks. He has totally failed at improving the team and the failure deepens with every passing day.

I see other teams out here trying to win. I see Drury making tough decisions about an already good team and finding ways of improving it. I see good players without trade protection moving all over. I see them moving for reasonable prices which we have the assets to beat. I see players on waivers who could be claimed. I see us floundering in last place and continuing to give ice time to players who are playing very poorly.

I've heard all the theories about Pegula and an internal budget. I don't know about all that. I don't know what the reason is, but I know the entire organization is not trying hard enough. Top to bottom. And it's infuriating.

It would be better if he just left already, I'm tired of his excuses.



Byram: "I hate playing RD"


Summer and at season deals for RDs: Marino, Jensen, Kovacevic, Fabbro, Borgen, Carrier.

How to even come to terms that Adams is doing his job? He has made no attempt to fix the holes or trade the players. I am sure you heard my complaining about Adams not drafting RD for his first 3 years here.

After 5 years we have Joker in the top 4, Bryson and Gilbert who are not NHL players.

This team is 29th for goals against and defense has been an issue during Kreuger and Granato's tenure too.

As a bi-product of not putting together a defensive unit he is destroying UPL and Levi because the defense is so trash.

Because his job is don’t spend money.

Thats it.

That’s the job.

If it was results he’d be gone. If it was growth he’d be gone. The only thing he does is take bullets for not spending and not making moves. And he remains.

And he’s f***ing flat out told you that they haven’t spend because they were worried about future cap. Think about how f***ing stupid that sounds right now. As if it didn’t to anyone paying attention at the time…

With the cap skyrocketing…and we knew it would, RFAs underperforming…screaming for veteran help, sitting in last place.

Saving money.

As a f***ing plan.

Not that I don't disagree with you but from your perspective that also makes him a liar and a fraud because he has claimed the opposite is true that he has no constraints. I guess if he was honest he would also be fired. He is a little weasel.

yes he’s a liar.

His job is to praise Terry while doing what Terry tells him to do. He doesn’t answer to fans or the media or the players…only Terry. He’s been lying since the moment he walked in and got the job he wasn’t qualified for because he agreed to gut the hockey department that Botterill wouldn’t. Five years later…last place…and he still agrees that running the cheapest department in the league is working out?

He’s a yes man puppet lying piece of shit.

They have destroyed the franchise completely…and he’s still telling you the same things he’s been saying for three years. In last place.

And he’s still here.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I don’t want KA to make any notable trades. The season is lost and he is beyond incompetent and desperate. I want him nowhere near a consequential trade. He needs to be fired immediately after game 82, and let the next guy take a shot of fixing this team.

The Bryam trade last year made no sense, but at least we lucked into him being a much more valuable player than Mitts. I doubt we get so lucky this year in getting the better player…but you damn well know the trade will make no sense. Asshole will trade Kulich, a potential top 6 center, for a second pairing defensemen

If he doesn't get cut, what then? I don't like Adams very much, but his trade value hasn't been that bad in general, he just seems to pick weird trade targets sometimes. You need a top 4 RD, but you trade a 2nd rounder for a 4th liner when the top 4 RD just traded for two 2nd rounders. Byram just didn't make much sense because we already had two left-handed PMD. I don't think he'll trade Kulich, but I wouldn't mind if he traded Cozens for a top 4 RD for example, he even seems to have admitted that we don't have a top 4 RD, before that he apparently still believed in Jokiharju for a few years.

Let me emphasize that I would like to see him fired now so that the new GM has more time next season to sort out this mess.
