He’s been GM for four years now. Sooner or later that has to count for something.

Weird take. Guy perpetually posts ***** things and then mocks the ***** conversation that results. What a shocking turn of events.

I have a better suggestion. Go kick a hole in your drywall and let reasonable people have reasonable conversations. Thank you.

Is the infantile snark necessary? Do teams not have AHL veterans that move up and down?

I have no idea what your point is. Maybe you would like to argue that it’s easier finding first line players than other guys in the lineup. I’ll hang up and listen.

Bergeron and Marchand had been linemates since 2011. If you have two of the best NHL players on your first line for a dozen years, it makes filling out the rest of your roster a hell of a lot easier. What does this team look like if you push our first line down to our second line and insert a decade long partnership of two of the best forwards in the NHL?

How much easier is life when you have legitimate NHL stars for well over a decade on the first line that pushes all the wannabes down to the second line? Life is much harder trying to punch above your weight class.

As far as I can tell this is only based on hopium. He doesn’t excel at anything, regardless of how hard he tries or who he plays with.

In real life, I would walk away midsentence.

He’s a Boston fan trolling a Sabres board. Just ignore him. He chooses a screen name of a player whose style he absolutely detests and then manipulates every situation to criticize the Sabres.

Jeremy Roenick.

So now we’re accusing all of the other GM’s of being incompetent too? Because now they are neglecting to entertain offers that may improve their own team to fit in narrative that Kevyn sucks? 🙄

Maybe he was in the pool?

I love Jeff’s enthusiasm for the game and his skating style. Wish that one really good year was more the norm.

Didn’t someone just mention that Lindy saw him firsthand in the playoffs Caps vs the Devils? My apologies if this is a stupid question, I did not look up any of this myself.

My misunderstanding.

I bet that was the case in your first statement. As for the last statement here… A second round pick absolutely does NOT usually get you a legit NHL player. A quick Google search says it’s 34% for the second round.

Please show me any draft curve that has a bend in the curve at 46.

I think it’s 100% a Lindy acquisition. It seems as though all the bluster about bringing him in as coach has been memory holed and this is still just the Kevyn Adams show. Who here thinks Lindy is not giving the approval stamp on every single player he brings in?

Here it is folks. We need a complainers cage match. On one side will be those complaining about no excuses and just get it done. On the other side will be those complaining about the overpayment.

Since this is hearsay, I don’t think it deserves it on topic. I have a friend back home that plays men’s hockey and everyone always knows somebody. The way the story was told to me was that this guy was telling stories in the locker room inside Adams offered Lindy an assistant position in January and he said no way. Then Granato was fired and Lindy eventually caved. However, it was on the condition that Adams go after three or four players that he thought the team needed. I wasn’t told who they were or if they were specific players or types of players. The impression was specific players. With that said, having more assets to bring in Lindys players fits in with this trade today. FYI, I absolutely don’t care if you believe the above. I don’t even know if I believe the above. It is just a story that was relayed to me.

If you have a photographic memory, you should have more empathy to those of us who have none. 😂 You are confusing annoyance with astonishment. I’m not annoyed that you remembered this, but astonished with a touch of incredulousness.

I couldn’t tell you three items I ate last week. I also couldn’t tell you what people posted earlier today, let alone yesterday, nor three years ago. That includes myself.

The NHL draft pick value flattens out really quick.

Why would you remember this?
