Trade Deadline Thread (March 3)

[Zman5778]

Yea I’m not angry about it. If the Sabres don’t think right now is the time to fill long term needs that’s okay! Those moves can be done in the off-season, and historically are done in the off-season.

I'm in this very weird place where I'm salty that we didn't beat Ottawa for him........................and at the same time kind of glad we didn't. It's weird. I'm weird.

We can finally move on from Chychrun. No point in complaining about things that didn’t happen. Let’s see what Kev is able to produce.

He seems to have found past regimes playbooks.

 

[Beerz]

30 other teams also didn't acquire JC, but go off I guess.

Like 4 were in position to get him.

 

[toddkaz]

Welp, I have some sort of hope until trade deadline day is over.

 

[EichHart]

I really hope the media ask him why we didn’t beat that offer with the draft capital we have. To get him and not give up any prospects is insane.

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

Like 4 were in position to get him.

And they didn't. I can't be bothered to froth at the mouth about players the Sabres didn't acquire.

 

[Chainshot]

I wonder if this mean DRW pivot to Parayko or Provorov? Seems like they will be left out the most by Ottawa snapping up Chychrun.

 

[truthbluth]

Kevyn Adams sucks lol

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Kevyn’s response. Oh crap, i better do something since I just have a 1D away for peanuts to a competing division rival

 

[Dirty Dog]

I’m not going to complain about inaction where he still has this trade deadline and this off-season to fill some of these holes. Then we can compare the moves…or complain about inaction.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m 100% on team “KA needs to make a few additions before next season”. I’m just not convinced he needs to do it this trade deadline. This year has already gone about as good as it can, it’s okay if they are riding this group of players this year

Now we're cooking, do it Stevie

Buffalo fans - Lets give Adams a chance this off season

Sorry but after Botterill thats tough. If we go into next season with the same team we should just pretend Adams isn't following Botterill's playbook?

 

[Willgamesh]

Extremely dissapointed in KA.

 

[Zman5778]

They can ask......but do you really expect an answer that isn't canned?

Reporter: "Hey Kevyn, why didn't you beat the offer for Chychrun?"
Adams: "Well, you know I can't talk about a specific player. All I can say is that I am actively trying to find ways to improve our club, as long as the deal makes sense for the long-term health of the Buffalo Sabres"

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Maybe we can draft another Josh Bloom

Or Portillo.

 

[Ace]

Now we worry about another bad Adams move in response to a large portion of the fanbase catching on that he’s nothing more than the guy who watches Pegula’s wallet.

They have to improve their talent on the defense before next season starts. They can't go in relying on three guys for everything because they WILL break down.

Then will you complain about inaction? We were saying the same thing about Botts 3 years ago.

Wash, rinse and repeat.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Adams is probably getting pee pee whacked by Terry right now after he saw what Ottawa gave up

 

[toddkaz]

No but 10 other playoff teams improved their rosters for the playoffs....shrugs

 

[Chainshot]

This is very much like Botts' playbook. Stillman as Beaulieu but no Scandella thus far.

 

[Dirty Dog]

100% agreed. Unless Joker really really really improves the rest of this season (I don’t think he will), they need to find a long term top 4 piece to play with Power. And absent Stillman working out, they need to figure out Boosh’s partner as well.

 

[toddkaz]

My concern is Dahlin is getting punished out there and has to play 27-30 minutes a game.

Its Adam's job to not put Dahlin in that position.

You can see Sammy out there is just flat out tired.

Adams is literally burning out the defense.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Needs to be.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Every time I've seen Hronek this year, he's done everything we've yelled about Fitzpatrick, Clague, Bryson and Jokiharju doing all at the same time.

Unlike them he has good possession metrics, and gets heavy deployment. He’s a significant upgrade from Jokiharju.
