The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Oh most definitely on Murray. It was always an extra piece. ALWAYS.
Adams did well with his teardown moves. His players have pushed the timeline. Now, can he adapt? Will he?
Marty mentioned the other day, no Bob Corkum deals. And for a team Marty worked his bag off for that year (72 starts), I'll take him as a guy who gets what showing some faith in your team means.
We have already seen Samuelsson on Power's right. If they bring in a left shot, they could do "new guy"-Dahlin and OP-MS for the pairs.

Adams has an easy path to winning here. The hole on D is so pressing and obvious that simply addressing it in any kind of meaningful way will appease people and the players will appreciate it.
You can sell everyone that you have forward depth here and in the future. You can’t convince anyone you have shit on D coming…and half of them are bad now
I feel like I heard that Konecny was on the outs in Philly at the start of the season due to issues with Torts. Did that calm down? Would he be someone of interest?

he's above a PPG playing for Torts, I doubt they're looking to move him.. But if they are I think it would be an off-season thing
There was something early but of late, nothing. He'd certainly up the dirtbag vs. dirtbag combat this division has become by plugging in one for the Sabres.

Ehhhhhh. He's a dink, for sure -- and we could use some skilled dinkage in the lineup.
But he's only signed for 2 more years and we're loaded with smaller, skilled wingers.
If we could get him for a song, sure. But I'd think other teams would offer more.

If Adams is targeting Chychrun, my guess is that the plan would be an all LHD Top 4 of Dahlin, Samuelsson, Power, and Chychrun.

Pretty sure he averages 68 or something games played per year. Not impeccable but hardly glass.

Less satisfactory, but I don't believe his injuries have ever been related to one another?

Yeah that is fair. I'm just not sure if it would be better to add chychrun here or go with a smaller add and use the assets at the draft when there are usually a few more names at different positions out there.
I think a bit depends on what Johnson is going to do.

On the PDOcast this week they did a Chychrun deep dive and he has not really ever played on the right. I don't see that as a problem personally, but figured I'd mention it.

KA needs to do what they do on American Pickers to make AZ feel they are getting more value when in fact, he ends up with the better deal. TIME TO BUNDLE!!!!
I'd rather they not wait on Johnson. He can still get icetime in Buffalo sooner rather than later even if they add now.
To me it's not an issue. I'd put him on a left side and balance three pairs. Put him with Dahlin or Power when they need a late boost, in which worrying about the d-zone is a lesser concern anyway.

Agreed. They just need another good defenseman in the mix. Figure out the optimal pairs later, IMO.
