That Forton quote reinforces the only thought I had on the trade down when it happened…they didn’t care when the D went as long as they went in front of them. People can pine over Buium for the rest of time it doesn’t change the fact that they weren’t taking him at 11 either. Their shortlist was forwards. The only thing they knew for sure trading down was the “top 6” D we’re going to go ahead of that pick. It didn’t matter who fell to where or what order they went…they were counting on them going and weren’t taking them. If they were…you wait until 11 to trade it because a guy or guys could have been there. And I’d bet their safety was MBN and then Helenius fell whether they expected it or not.
he got the call to clean the YachtCan't believe they got a shot of Kevyn receiving the budget for this year.
I counted 3. (Was, Ph, Edm) but there could of been others they edited out.Seemed like a lot of GM's were talking to Adams considering no one wants to trade with Buffalo according to Peters.
Not to mention the deal we made with San Jose. And the deal we made with Colorado. And the actual deal we made with Washington. And the deal we made with Winnipeg. And the eventual deal we made with Edmonton.I counted 3. (Was, Ph, Edm) but there could of been others they edited out.
San Jose and Colorado also since he made trades with them.I counted 3. (Was, Ph, Edm) but there could of been others they edited out.
Hopefully this means no more club med practices, and with all the new voices coming into the locker room we start seeing consistent effort every game.Ruff looks like he's about to open the biggest present under the Christmas tree at about the 26:54 mark when talking about Lafferty's comments - accountability and everyone takes a piece of someone in Vancouver, they all do it. I don't know if he consult a physician, but that smirk may have lasted more than three hours.
Also cool to hear how hard they are stressing fitness and being prepared. Hope the holdovers are working on it since some of the new guys are certainly going to bring that. NAK in particular made a point of it.
also means they blame team conditioning on the ups and downs and inability to put together any kind of winning steak and playoff run which is probably at least part of it along with coaching, etcHopefully this means no more club med practices, and with all the new voices coming into the locker room we start seeing consistent effort every game.
LOLI loved when Adams was talking to his team after first round and before dinner and the Chef with funny hat just sitting in the background while Adams talked.
You know the Chef got on reddit and was posting Sabres rumors

That's a nice change of tune compared to what we heard at locker-room cleanout day. It was very frustrating hearing players basically say they didn't put the effort in during the offseason, and it showed during preseason and when the season started.Ruff looks like he's about to open the biggest present under the Christmas tree at about the 26:54 mark when talking about Lafferty's comments - accountability and everyone takes a piece of someone in Vancouver, they all do it.
