This has to be Logan Stanley. Without even clicking 6'7" LHD physical. That was almost exactly what his draft profile said and I didn't care for him then and I don't now.

FTR, I have liked what Adams has created to this point. I will not blindly follow anyone though and when I see issues I have no problem pointing them out. I am sure Adams knows where the holes on his team are, I just hope that understands at some point he may have to pay slightly above what he wants if he wants to fix them. Defense is a problem and will be going forward until it gets addressed in a meaningful way.

Never trust someone's judgement that you don't know. He's earned it? He's earned me hoping that he has something else in the works but again you and others are ignoring the reality that is smacking you in the face. There is NO internal defense help coming. None. Also Trip65 has been a board member for less than an hour. Not like the rest us are jumping to agree with them. I have little interest in getting rid of Mitts or JJP at this stage. Olofsson and Asplund though could be packaged.

No one around here is talking about this. Again you feel the need to defend defend defend even the mildly criticism of a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 11 years and does not have internal candidates to improve the defense.

And you keep acting like Adams can do no wrong and that any questioning of him is blasphemy.

Future considerations... like a crisp high five!

@Hank putting an X on that particular comment is just mindboggling. Which part do you disagree with here Hank? I'd be so curious to hear that.

That would have no bearing on the defense and the lack of internal improvement.

The premise is correct until it is addressed honestly.

Chychrun isn't the point. There is no defense help coming from draft and develop for at least 3-5 years.

In the summer or now?

Should be interesting to see what they do this summer.

No it will be because of goaltending.

It wasn't an unprotected #1 though. It was very much protected.

That deal happens I would be extremely happy. I am not trying to yell at Adams but just talking about why I am disappointed, right now with the deadline still 24 hours away. Still time to upgrade stuff.

Erik Johnson, 35 Damon Severson, 28 Scott Mayfield, 30 Matt Dumba, 28 Connor Clifton, 28 Justin Holl, 31 Radko Gudas, 33 Kevin Shattenkirk, 34 Trevor van Riemsdyk, 31 Steven Santini, 28 Travis Harmonic, 32 Brady Keeper, 27 Luke Schenn, 33 That list is just UFA right shot d in no particular order. omg I will edit for you

Such a well thought out response. I might need to do some research to offer a proper rebuttal.

What defensive help is coming to this team that isn't coming from outside?

So?

I dont see that happening for Ottawa but hey, it might.

only becomes a 1st if the 1st in 2023 slides. Wasn't meant as a discount, was looking at it from could we beat the Ottawa offer. We could have offered a 2023 2nd.
