Why tho

 

[Beerz]

Adams is a fuxking joke

 

[Dirty Dog]

Apparently the fastest player on the capitals. Big guy. Seems like a 4th line edition with size and speed we need.

I’m not going to bitch about the cost, we have to give up futures and I don’t care about overpaying. This is what he needs to do for the fourth line


capitals fans describe him as a great fourth liner, and we overpaid. But who the hell cares

It’s a start, he has much more on the checklist, but this we definitely and item on the list

Big
Fast
Hits
Penalty kills
High energy

It is what we need, why the hell are you all complaining?

 

[SabresFan26]

We are literally the dumbest organization. Hello 15 year drought.

 

[Djp]

People bitching about not making a move

He makes s move...they still bitch

Cant win

 

[Chainshot]

Like this one a lot.

 

[Dubi Doo]

One of 4th liners? Speed, hits, and solid defensively? Is that correct? A 3rd seems a bit steep, but depth is depth I suppose..

 

[Beerz]

Adams playing 4 D Chess .... now every GM going to be calling him seeing what they can get

 

[Gabrielor]

This is either some 400 IQ move, or more likely, a desperate attempt to say you did something.

Reminder: Mangiapane went for a 2nd...

So Adams is officially at a Botterill level, but somehow even worse and trading.

 

[Fjordy]

Move to find Dakota Joshua 2.0, but 2nd?

 

[EichHart]

Like this one a lot.

Doesn’t value seem super high for a 4th liner?

 

[SabresFan26]

Eric Robinson 2.0 for a 2nd.

 

[KrakenSabresMike]

People want Buffalo to
Be harder to play against - they target a guy and then they bitch

I don't care about the trade, I care that Washington gave a 2nd to get Mangipane and then got a 2nd back to move out a 4th liner. A 2nd for a top 9 two way player and then got a 2nd for a 4th liner with 8 goals in 100 something games played.

The only thing that can make me ok now is if Adams says he tried to talk to Mangiapane and he said no.

Big

Huts

Does that cost a 2nd rd pick tho? Couldn't we find a guy like that in free agency?

He checks off a need no doubt but at that cost? I guess this goes to show how hard it must be to get players to Buffalo.

 

[Dirty Dog]

We don’t need to win the value game. We need to fill NHL holes with what we need.

I could not care less about overpaying a bit to get what we need

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

I’m further and further convinced that Sam Ventura has no authority or sway whatsoever.

Psst.... we paid a 2nd, not a 3rd.

Dig into how the Caps used their "4th line" and you'll find Malenstyn, Aube-Kubel flanking Dowd as buried in the d-zone for starts and yet still managed to be good at flipping possession.
