It's part of my desire to see them have more high-skill dirtbags so they can inflict more of it. It doesn't help to have the usual Sabre method of a singular guy and expect everyone else to just not have to step up because they have "a" guy. It's more than that. I honestly think Quinn has it in him and sometimes Peterka. But it isn't enough to just skate through the other team chopping at ankles and throwing elbows. You have to have guys who are going to inflict that in the playoffs.

ya teams do stupid things that dont result in wins all the time, see billbo and the patriots
but progression means we eventually give up on those things
thats the key, you dont go out hunting for physical play, but when a high skilled player that also is physical comes around, you dont ring your hands about which first round pick youre willing to send to san jose, you package your elite skilled players and ship them to sj and put that guy on your roster

If you look at the bulk of recent CF & SCF teams, you see lots of those guys.
So, saying they do not result in winning in the playoffs doesn't make sense to me.
The Leafs haven't wanted for elite scoring talent during their time failing to get out of the first round.

So what is the dumb thing that teams move on from because they don’t work?

You have to have a guy who the other teams know will take out a skill player if you go after one of ours. Linseman, Marchand hell Crosby with his nut shots don't go after the Cernaks, they will go after Kuch or Cirelli. That is self policing. Sending Stillwater after Cernak just puts you on the pk.

I did mention that in the original post of this subtopic a page or two back. Adams did successfully swap one roster player(eichel) for another(tuch) + futures.
How many other meaningful roster players has he acquired?
His first and only futures for roster player trade was something we all hated. Bloom for Stillman.
His only meaningful UFA signing was a complete bust. Hall
I'm not saying he won't be able to take the next full step of adding talent to the active roster, but it is the most difficult step and the baby steps he's taken so far do not appear promising.

Might be worth keeping around for a while...

Got it. I didn't see that older post.
I'm fine avoiding UFAs in general unless we're good enough to avoid a big overpay. Seems like he's learned that lesson. I doubt the Stillman trade is indicative of anything because it's been a couple weeks since forever of even contemplating trading futures for currents.

I've been really frustrated with Jokiharju in the last couple of weeks. That's new for me.

I think the issue with Joker is that his blunders are often extremely easy to see. I thought he's been rather quiet and solid outside of his 2 brain cramps per game
It's more that he's making many of the mistakes he was making last year and even the year before for me - passes going through him, odd pinches, poor angling on his man where he can't get leverage and loses position along the wall, chasing.

its weird to use reinhart as context for mitts, just feels like someone with an axe to grind and brought it up when really it doesnt work at all for context unless youre trying to shit on reinhart for reasons

ya but Im not usually surprised when you have a questionable take
still elaves the question how reinharts stats from years ago give context to mitts numbers this year, mitts played on those teams, he didnt do shit

From Lance's perspective it has more to do with the Mitts hate on Twitter. I think all he is saying is that look.. Mitts is on pace for a 50+ season.. Reinhart who you guys love only did that once here.. so maybe relax on Mitts

Lance definitely was trying to prove a point that Twitter had a lovefest for Sam and wants Mitts shipped out for a box of rocks. Don't think he's saying they're comparable.

i mean he used the words "for context"
i just wanted to know what the context was and apparently the context is people talk about both on twitter
which id have less issue with if mitts wasnt also on those shit sabres team and was one of the shit players, now we are 2 season and an entirely new regime later and reinhart is still out producing mitts and even though mitts production has gone way up this year, its still behind reinhart's
but i will accept that the axe i was looking for is him not liking bad twitter takes, which i think we can all agree with
maybe it was different on twitter but reinhart took a lot of shit when he was here as well, especially from management

Yeah. Away from Olofsson where everyone is magically better
If youve ever listened to his podcast…it isn’t safe to rule out a slight shot at Reinhart. or at least not surprising he’d take a chance to show him in a less than flattering light.
