No players are available so we should resign Girgensons and see if Okposo wants another year?
Hey maybe we should resign Clague? Check! Next up Tyson Jost.
Nothing wrong with Clague signing. Its a 2 way contract. You need to man the AHL team too.
He wont be it
Lets ice the same team as last year and when it comes time to fire Adams we should all ask for him to stay another year because no players were available.
What should year 5 of Adams plan look like next year? Hey no players available for 5 years so he shouldn't be fired.
Year 1 20/21 he came on late and asked Freddie what he wanted. Didnt work, he fired him.
Year 2 21/22 ...start of a rebuild trading off Reinhart and Risto. In season Eichel is traded. The team has a good finish
Year 3 22/23. Adam's realizes in a couple years the young players are going to want money. Hr needs to plan around that. The team just missed the playoffs
Year 4 23/24. They make some moves like sign Clifton. Mid season they do the Mitts-byram trade
Year 5..they do a coaching change and they have a bunch of players on ELCs. They dont have that much future cap space.
Most GMs are allowed to go thru a rebuild.
You mean Adams had only this moment, only today to improve the team and lets ignore the other 4 years of his tenure?
Teams need to be successful in drafting. You cant go out and buy/ trade for all veterans..the best ones usually arent traded away or let go as UFA. Sure you could trade all your futures for a few players who might help the team be the best of the mediocre and make the playoffs but they eed ont fo anymore because once they are done and walk in 2-4 yrs thr jar is empty.
Its insane how many people pretend Adams isn't a trainwreck.
Maybe next year he will get it done. Oh lets wait until July 1st cause I am sure Adams will convince more fringe NHLers to come here.
Buffalo is not in the big game market in UFA. They are just filling out the roster. Trades are the more likely course.
Adams has already proved he is incapable of attracting real NHL players to play here.
How is this his fault? UFAs has choices. You have a cap to deal with.
When the team improves, makes the playoffs things can change.
So critizing Adams is jumping off a bridge? After 13 years of missing the playoffs and 30% of that under Adams shouldn't we all feel that way?
He wasnt the gm for 13 yrs
Why are you ignoring the other 4 years of Adams not being able to improve this team.
The team went through a rebuild
Its mind boggling how you reset every year giving Adams a free pass for the previous year. For me its cumulative.
If we miss the playoffs next year are you gonna give Adams the same free pass again cause its only 1 round of the draft in 2025?
You cant control odd things.
2 years ago th rrg y go thru an 0-8 stretch when they had 4-5,of their D out. Last year it's in the top 6 where 5of the 6 is out for an extended time.
Injuries are part if the game, but some patterns are outliers
It’s reasonable to be mad about his past shortcomings but there’s no point in renewing your anger without seeing how this period plays out.
I assure you if I see we’ve used pick 42 and 43 I’ll be right there with you.
Dont go down that rabbit hole.
Hes looking at it as adding position depth when it comes to trades
