  1. Oh cool, what was the insult?
  2. Okay, trade it. Find a gritty top 6 guy and trade the pick with a prospect.
  3. I think maybe in 2023, 2019 Maroon would have helped.
  4. Oh ***** well if you remember it, it must be true right? Very well could have been against Maroon in 2019. Don't think he moves the needle for that team, it has significant issues.
  5. God, if there is a God, maybe you could help the Sabres win a little. I'd really like to see the playoffs again.
  6. thxs ... i hate it
  7. All the assistants who were being fired have been fired. Ellis might be reassigned but I would guess Lindy adds 1 person to that staff sometime this summer. Bales has UPL's improvement to hang his hat on right now so he's safe. Wilford being around is a little surprising but they must believe in the defense.
  8. Doing that would be great. Celebrini is awesome.
  9. lol but I just responded to you!
  10. Personally I think this quote spoke out against what you are saying here " I like our core. I really like where our goaltending is at. I really like where our D core is at. I believe in our talent up front. I think we need to round out especially our bottom 6, become harder to play against. I think we need to add a little bit more physicality, just be a little bit grittier. Have more identity in that bottom 6." Also, 11 on it's own doesn't get you a good top 6 unless there is a cap dump somewhere. It is possible but I heard his #11 quote differently in that he expects to make the pick. Different interpretations though so idk who is correct.
  11. Asked about with the cap space the Sabres have, would there might be more action in free agency than in years past. Adams then said the following: "Yea, I think it's a balance you know? It's a fair question Jeremy, and I never, you know, get totally caught up. I know people really look at cap space and say okay are we gonna go right to the cap. There's never been an issue with us spending, it is about trying to build the roster and be methodical about the way we do it. We will definitely target free agent or free agents if we think it makes sense, umm you know obviously it can get tricky. When you get to unrestricted free agency, if you get into that game, you know often you are overpaying either term or dollar or both. You have to be comfortable with that. Yea I would say this year something you know, we've done it last year adding Clifton and other guys over the years, it is definitely something we will look at. But to me, it's about winning hockey games. It is about putting our roster in the best position to kinda round out our group. I like our core. I really like where our goaltending is at. I really like where our D core is at. I believe in our talent up front. I think we need to round out especially our bottom 6, become harder to play against. I think we need to add a little bit more physicality, just be a little bit grittier. Have more identity in that bottom 6. Those are the things that I believe and we'll be talking a lot about over the coming weeks so if there's players that fall into that mold that we think can help us we'll go after them and if not we'll look for trades or other ways to do it." - Kevyn Adams Edit: https://www.audacy.com/stations/wgr550/shows/the-jeremy-joe-show-0f40c/episodes/f9982e2fa293 right around the 9:21 mark on the nose, Jeremy asks the question and you can here the response I typed out.
  12. As soon as the audio posts, I will link it... hopefully it will be soon.
  13. There's prospects and there's Celebrini's
  14. Idk, I don't remember what ppl said back in 2019.
  15. Quick reminder that Zach Benson will not be 19 until next week. Skys the limit for him.
  16. Adams basically just said on WGR they are looking at the bottom 6 to add grit and basically poo pooed any thought of adding to the top 6.
  17. Yea, Marner said it. It was cringy.
  18. Tuch was brought in by sending a top 6 out. So Adams didn't add, he simply maintained. Byram isn't a forward and isn't even our 2nd best defender. Not convinced he's our 3rd best defender yet.
  19. Yea but this would involve a lot more control than this place has. That said with Lindstrom's size/skill and Iginla's meteoric rise this season, I think both are gone before 11. Celebrini, Demidov, Lindstrom, Tij, and Helenius are the 5 I think go. McKenzie put Lindstrom 5 and Tij at 10 but Calgary impo takes Tij. Still there's a top 2 and then there's about 7 guys all stacked together, I bet one falls. No one is trading out of drafting Celebrini.
  20. You remember what ppl said about Pat Maroon in summer 2019? Btw in that game yesterday Florida scored 1 goal, Pat Maroon was on the ice for it.
  21. Until adams literally proves me wrong, I don't for a second believe they'll bring in a top 6 player.
  22. Yes, good writing is often behind a paywall. It's very long so.. Bills will be able to use 2024 to evaluate while being competitive but will have significantly more cap flexibility in 2025 especially if they buy out Vonn. Something like 34 million, so if they identify weak spots in the roster this season, they can fix them next. They also will have 5 picks in the top 125 including 3 picks in the top 64. Bills will be retooled and reloaded by fall 25 after bean wisely cleaned up the cap for 25 forward. It goes through all of this in depth by talking about the players and caps at specific spots and where there's the most questions and why.
