I'll give you those points but let's not be too quick to dismiss what we see. If it's so easy to get guys who haven't done anything with the Sabres to suddenly look effective, why hasn't it happened before?

Have we fired KA for trading Mitts yet?

I'm indifferent. But some folks are pointing to his performance with the Avs as proof of...something. Note sure what exactly. I don't recall any howls of doom when he was traded.

You are making a lot of assumptions with nothing to back them up.

You won't let go of this bone. What part of NMC do you not understand? Adams could have done all that, and Hall could still say NO!!!! Then your solution is bench him and get nothing for him? And you rail against Adams for being stupid.

Naw, Peters never says anything in jest.

So someone called for Mitts. People call for Eichel, Dahlin, Risto, etc.

Was that a real quote or Peters making a joke?

Wait...are you telling me that stuff matters???

Bjork for Kane seems like a fair swap.

No. It's dumb.

And he walks and the Sabres get bupkis. And that's better how?

Why do you think he isn't?

Except Hall could STILL veto the trade. Then what?

But you haven't answered which coach is better. It's easy to say "do better." But tell me what metric you use to determine who's better.

Listening to the Instigators it sounds like Hall was driving the bus because of his NMC. Hall chose Boston. Also the Bjork-Lazar move was a cap swap to fit Hall into the Bruins roster.

Meaningless.

No greater authority than Paul Hamilton said Johansson didn't belong in the NHL.

Even if he leaves and the Sabres get nothing? Risky.

So wait, was Johansson a good goalie or a bad one?

So how much quarantine do he and Caggiula have before joining the Sabres?

Hockey twitter is saying Hall had a no movement clause. Is that true? First I've heard. It's being suggested EDM we offering a 1st but Hall nixed it.

Ullmark is the final chip to move today. What's the goalie market looking like?

It's possible Hall waited too long. Maybe he had a better deal earlier and decided to hold out thinking it could get better. We'll never know unless these things leak out later. But it was also suggested by the top tier media good the Hall's market was soft. GMs have eyes and can see Hall play this year.
