What if Reilly gets hurt? I think you still have to have a plan B and a guy who moves the puck other than Dahlin. I have no problem trading Byram or Power or even both if the deals are good and we get the pieces return that we need. Also, you can build a defense any number of ways, but to me it has to be balanced.
People thought it finally clicked with Adams after last year’s TDL presser with a “new attitude/energy” and he just happened to be the same GM he’s always been.
Do you think he intentionally shits the bed in the midseason press conference so it can seem like progress when he just reiterates that he “hasn’t been good enough,” at the end of season PC? I’m legitimately considering this possibility.
I think he’s terrible with PR instincts and his pressers are different ways in which he’s being coached to “attack” them by the Sabres staff. Because they are different, people are reading them as if he’s “learning” from his mistakes.
Better????? There's a grand total of two teams in the entire f***ing league worse than us. The dumb bastard shouldn't just be fired, he should be tarred and feathered and run out on a rail. There is no other pro sports organization where 5 years of failing this horribly wouldn't get you fired.
There is still not a reasonable argument for why trading Brady Tkachuk largely for a top 5 pick helps the Senators out.
It's just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic at this point. Everyone knows the reason for the neverending on-ice failure is a systemic one, and the neverending failure of players here is a symptom and not the cause.
Haven't we been saying this for the past 2 years?
Idk, I'll buy he's handicap but it shouldn't be this hard to get a team to squeak into the playoffs
Outside of Reinhart and Eichel every single top 10 forward pick we've had was varying degree of huge disappointment to outright bust. And we only have 1 of them still in the org, and he just had a horrendous season.
