The Sabres are... fun? The Sabres are fun.

And right here is why your arguments aren't logical. You start from the most false premise possible, that an NHL gm isn't even inquiring about players he knows are available.

That isn't the timeline though. He spent 2021 offseason tearing down the roster. The 2021 trade deadline the team was in an 18 game losing streak and he fired the worst nhl coach of the decade. My issue is the lack of acknowledgment of the context.

I mean, if you don't count Thompson or Samuelsson then yes.

Ohio State fans are confident and a little obnoxious about how they can beat Georgia. A little surprised. Not that they think they can win, of course they can, but just the making it sound easy and talking crap part. Meanwhile Georgia fans seem genuinely concerned about Ohio States wr core.

I mean if you don't count the risto trade where we definitely got the better player.

I want to add one thing. If adams has yet to trade an asset once the teardown began (i think you mean ended because to tear down he traded multiple assets), that means the teardown ended in November of 2021 with the Eichel trade. Why do I mention this? Well that means he's only had 2 times to trade, deadline 2022, and the 2022 offseason. Now the premise is he isn't in a win mode, yet in 2022 he deliberately and purposefully kept together a roster that was playing well and didn't trade ufas. That momentum in fact did carry over to the start of 2022 season. So that actually means the only time he could have traded was this offseason where we know he tried to.

And for that I'm thankful. I will say though he traded Eichel and Reinhart SO how accurate is this? Why "once the teardown began" as some strange cutoff. He hasn't traded young players or assets, but he also is only in year 2 and didn't have those assets until trading Reinhart and Eichel and Ristolainen. I'm saying your argument here is flawed.

He's signed for 4 more seasons.

Pre shot movement and passing is a known variable that impacts scoring. Ever since the 8 game losing streak, I've felt they have really excelled in the area of passing and then moving into space or doing lots of switching and crossovers. It's like play action, you are giving the defense more to keep track of and think about even if it's a faint.

I was wrong btw. Pretty sure Östlund is 19 as well. I don't think 12 year olds are allowed to play. I'll see myself out

It is your job though because you claim he isn't doing anything so name guys that are available. I think you did here. I'd love for KA to add another goalie and I agree that he's not going to do it because the price isn't what he wants.

I want nothing and I mean nothing to do with Binnington. Dude is a grade A dick.

Also a reason why they drafted Quinn, JJP, Kulich. Shooting is a skill and I swear I heard someone even before Adams in the org talking the need for shooting skills.

All right. Name names. List the goalies you want Adams to trade for and their worth.

He's 26. There's not a lot more development there and I'll be curious when his career ends to see how many years he sits at the level he's at now.

They did. Lybushkin He's not, you wanna go 5 because he plays pk, okay. You don't want Borgen taking regular shifts in your top 4.

But that's how you've decided to use it. That's not how it is used. Brawndo gave you a glimpse of that. No it isn't. We could say they both deserve equal consideration.

I can say that about everything though. Look, I think xgf being applied to individuals has gone a bit overboard.

That I'd agree with. But it's just another stat to consider. Xgf% is a function of xgf and xga

It tells us that Tage is pretty average defensively when on the ice and that he's clearly an elite shooter because he can score for lower xgf areas. That's about it. He shouldn't be a negative player because it's based on league average, tage doesn't have an average shot.

No it doesn't. You're not understanding xgf correctly.

If his name was Marchand you'd like him. In reality Skinner is a discount version. Skinner is a 5 time 30+ goal scorer. Soon to be a 9 time 20+ goal scorer. He's played 13 seasons... so how streaky is he really?

You don't because goals are rare events.
