Question: Do the Sabres have prospects other teams covet? If they do then eventually a team will make a serious offer. Right now I think teams are testing how desperate Adams is.

This isn't entirely true. There are no Saturday/Sunday game weekends. But there are four Friday/Sunday weekends.11/1-3, 11/29-12/1, 12/20-22 and 12/27-29.

Just don't get her pregnant there.

Krebs to 3rd line, Dunne C on 4th?

You act like certain players mean certain results. Things change, players can change, nothing is written in stone. Do you watch any other hockey besides the Sabres? Have you seen players suddenly get it? Teams coming together at the right time? That's sports. It's not a video game with player scores that never change. I just got to a point where making myself miserable over teams felt pointless.

I thought Murray was good in Rochester. But he didn't do much in his call-ups. But that could be for a variety of reasons.

You didn't answer my question. What is preventing NHL GMs from dealing with Adams? You brought that up.

We have 2 top defensemen in Dahlin and Power. We have UPL and Levi in goal. We have Thompson, Tuch, Cozens, JJ Peterka, Qunn, Benson and Kulich coming up. Are you saying that's trash?

No. Not just that. The team got to 91 points last year too. I'm saying it was all pointing up until last season. And I pointed out where Adams fell short.

So you're giving me the prospect pool as improvement. But now exclude that point because "he blew it " The Sabres got to within a point of the playoffs. So the team did improve to that point. (Something else we'll have to exclude for the sake of your argument.) But the team took a step back this year. You can pin part of that on Kevyn. He failed to add to the team, and then injuries struck and certain players underperformed. He also didn't act sooner with Granato.

Refresh my memory.

Mr. Hall of Fame.

How dare someone cite Sabres trades when refuting no one will trade with us?

Yes. He's just going to toss that chit chat bomb out there and see what happens. Oh go ahead.

If you really listen closely to Peters on his podcast, he takes both sides of a position, sometimes switching back and forth in the same sentence. That allows him to claim he was right no matter the outcome. He did that when Adams gave Tage his big deal. Or he won't get bent over because the other GM thinks Adams is under pressure to do something.

With a loaded prospect pool, some of which are open for a deal. But noooooooooo. Can't deal with the Sabres. 🙄

Oh yeah, sure. Nate Geary's criticisms are devastating. 🙄

Nothing is ever 100% a win or a loss. I'm just trying to maintain perspective while people express their frustration with what's happening now I have to believe GMs were low balling Adams, testing to see how desperate he was. Eventually someone will make a serious offer for a Kulich or Östlund or whoever.

You seen to have selective amnesia about why those players left. Adams improved the Sabres by moving good but disgruntled players who wanted out. And he drafted what is now ranked the #2 prospect pool. He also stuck with UPL when everyone said he was trash. He locked up players like Tage, Samuelsson and Cozens early. Unfortunately injuries set all three back. But last year was definitely a black eye. And now we are at a crossroads.

Explain what it is about Adams that prevents other GMs from dealing with him? If he's such a clueless noob wouldn't savvy GMs be calling him often to see if they could get our better prospects for little value in exchange?
