Most of Adams' trades come out of the blue, with no rumors. I like that. I think Adams runs a tight ship in terms of leaks.

I don't think there are many people like that at all. We are in the middle of the staircase, not at the bottom, but still 7-8 steps from the top. People don't think we are 1-2 steps away, but they do want us to take one or two more steps toward the goal. Our 1st this year is not going to help climb a step for 3-6 years, unless you trade it for someone that can help you take a step sooner.

All in? For what? To get bounced in the first round by Boston in 4 or 5 games? I’m not saying in don’t want to see a move made but all in? Nah.

The Eichel one was no secret to Vegas. The others? Not worth talking about, so no surprise they don't get any attention.

Yeah, maybe I'm being a little petty. Even for a patient guy like me, the waiting is the hardest part.

The deadline is like the worst time to do that because prices are inflated.

I am looking at the D prospects and I am not seeing any that jump out to me as guys to target.
They only have 2 pro D prospects under 27yo today.
And they only have 3 D prospects on their reserve list.
They do not appear to be the type of team that is moving a D prospect for a F prospect at this time.

People don’t waste breath speculating on big future consideration moves
What trade in the last three years could you even be referring to? We knew Eichel was likely to Vegas….and even had talked pretty much the exact package

when you see names like Meier Jeannot Ekholm Chrychrun get thrown around, for the price they went for. knowing that they would help us this and next + season. it's very disappointing seeing that we weren't in on the mix of at least one of those players. especially knowing we could have easily out bid what they went for and we'd still have a top 5 prospect pool in the league.

The problem is it’s not accurate.
I can name at least 5 players who’ve barely scratched the surface of their potential; Power, Sammy, Quinn, Krebs and Peterka. They’re all basically rookies.
There is a lot of upside yet to mined from this roster. That doesn’t mean tweaking can’t be done. But the current roster is far from a finished product.
Two sides to the same coin - no rumors is good. No rumors because future consideration deals aren't really newsworthy is bad.

I think we're a few pieces away from being contender long term, but only a couple of those are major pieces or pieces that are hard to acquire.
That's just in terms of roster though. The players that are already core players here also need to develop and improve, and some of them need to mature physically.

I was using them as an example, not suggesting we trade with them. How many times do I need to say this? It's hilarious that you are trying to argue against a point that I am not making. Are you bored?I am looking at the D prospects and I am not seeing any that jump out to me as guys to target.

To be clear -- I am not suggesting that a trade with Seattle makes sense. It's called an example, which is a thing people use to try to make a point.
This is true, but the league-wide standings aren’t really fair because the Western Conference gets to play itself a lot more often which boosts their position. Imagine if the Sabres were in the Western Conference.

I'd pay a 2nd for Borgen back right now.
I'm just figuring that GMKA is just bargain hunting for term which means, if any trade does drop. It'll be near or after the deadline is reached.
I seen reports that Logan Stanley of Win wants out. But if GMKA didn't pull the trigger on Chychrun, i doubt he's going to outbid for Stanley.

I would have never witnessed the Peters and Rivet Coca-Cola commercial without tuning in to Sportsnet's coverage.
Stanley is visually and measurably bad at hockey. He's bigger than Stillman but about on par in terms of his play.

RIP RJ
I would, too.
The problem is that I doubt that Seattle does it (I bet they want a 1st) and I doubt Adams has any interest in a deal that involves their 1st.

I expect the biggest trade asset that Adams spends today is either the Vegas or Buffalo '23 2nd.
So, expectations for a return should be within that price range.
