A good friend of mine won a RJ autographed puck at a charity auction and gave it to me last week. This sucks, RJ was the GOAT.

Agreed, title needs to be updated.

An honor and a privilege to have witnessed some of his greatest calls. I feel utter sadness at his passing.

Actual stars, hmm tough to answer but Levi, Power, Benson, Kulich, Savoie would be the likely candidates with very dark horse Novikov.

The fact Kevin McCarthy has come out again in support of trump isn't a surprise but it really shows how gutless the Republican party has become. I'll give Kemp some credit at least he's stated point blank that trump lost in 2020. Trump is a lying con man who hates you. He hates you, your family, your country. The only things he cares about our his ego and his prestige. He's a serial lying narcissist for sale to who ever rubs his ego and gives him money. He's an un-American, anti- American traitor. I hope he rots in prison.

Keep your politics out of the thread.

1. Arizona 2. Florida 3. Tampa 4. Dallas 5. Winnipeg

Adams is hopefully making phone calls.

He's better than either upl or Comrie.

This was never weird and he signed shortly after. Stop making routine boring things sinister simply because you don't know the inner workings of everything. The outrage culture thing is dull. That's good, the SHL should be a big challenge for him.

This is a good question. I think it all depends on if the goaltending is sinking the team before the deadline. I'd guess that if upl and Comrie are running with the same analytics as last year, Adams will be forced to react. It's more likely we trade a pick, 2nd or later, for goalie help in season.

Well nfreeman... you're right. It wasn't "that bad"... it was worse than that.

That's really sad. Sorry to hear it.

I think Rousek makes the team out of camp.

Have the Sabres ever had a better defender than Power or Dahlin ?

Here's the original question I was posed. I said, wish they could have offered sheeted Swayman or signed Raanta, in direct response to this question. I'm now being accused of shouting and living in a fantasy world because I don't understand the NHL or the Sabres talent level. Life is fun.

Talking to your is like running my head into a wall. You still aren't paying attention, I even quoted the original question to help. You jumped into a hypothetical conversation and your response here is just useless. You're so eager to defend Adams when I'm not even really criticizing him. I fully believe he knows upl/ Comrie is a problem but he didn't find a way to fix it. You need to follow the context of conversations better. The rest of your post here is condescending trash that isn't even relevant to what the original question was. Lecturing me about the state of the Sabres and the talent level of this team is laughable. They are short a goalie, that's a fact.

Again, you're having an argument I'm not. UPL and Comrie were 2 of the worst goalies in the entire NHL last year. Wishing Adams found a better option is not some radical opinion. It's a fact btw those 2 were far below average.

This was the starting point. Levi isn't relevant to that. It all revolves around the other two being below replacement level. I suggested 2 goalies that signed new deals as potential options I wish Adams could have done. This isn't that hard to understand. See above. You don't understand the context of the question I was asked and you're jumping in feet first to defend Adams. Every single option you ever bring in has unappealing parts. That's also not relevant because nothing is more unappealing than bringing back 2 of the very worst goalies in the league last year.

You ignore context of conversations often. You jumped into something and are now taking it to the extreme to "win" an argument we're not having. Adams had options. What they all are we'll never know but our goaltending has not improved.

He filed for arbitration July 5th. So yes we could have offer sheeted him between July 1 and July 5. I've answered the question. Your condescending "fantasy goalie" comment not withstanding. Raanta would have been a good option if you want an UFA that's better than Comrie or UPL. But now I've said that you'll just counter with "he signed with Carolina!" Which isn't relevant. It's simply 2 moves that were at least plausible, not fantasy. Adams has goaltending work to do unless Comrie suddenly regains his form.
