I'd trade Quinn and Byram for Dobson. Honestly, I might trade whatever it takes for Dobson. I'd then target a really tough lhd to add in to this team somewhere.

Wait. Wait wait. Re-spon-stuh-bility That's not a word

Don't kink shame me!

Oh God, he's defending Bryson signing. Says there's not that many ufa defenseman out there. I'm sure Bryson is a good dude. Seems like a great human, but this isn't the good ppl awards.

Ruff fully backs UPL and says no goalie will look good until they fix the defense mistakes.

They aren't trading for a center. So the centers we have, Norris, McLeod, Kulich, Krebs and Tage can play centers if needed. We've had deeper conversations here than anything Adams offered.

Adams talks in vagueness which is probably why Terry likes him. Adams has no answers or imagination.

Every time Adams says "honest conversations" I wanna slap him.

Adams needs to go.

Lol autocorrect changed Kevyn to Mervyn lol perfect Lmfao. When they traded for Byram, they didn't know where he would fit... Adams literally admitting he has no plan.

"Culture is earned" ... what? No culture is made Mervyn, wins are earned.

Zach. Benson.

Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria.

If Karmanos is at this, we'll know. If Forton is... well ... *****.

Seems doubtful

Norris said he tore his oblique.

Love me some Desnoyers but I don't see him being available at 7. I've seen some stuff where he might go over Hagens at 3 or 4. Schaefer, Musa, Martone, Desnoyers is a real possibility. Bergeron is exactly who I think about when watching him, as always it's a style comparison not a direct comparison.

The defensive metrics tend to agree. The team got worse under him, not better.

Carter isn't related Ethan that I'm aware of. Bear isn't perfect but he's damn fun to watch and I think the skills like skating will improve. At 7, he's a good option.

Lindy Ruff spent 4 months giving Cozen ice time that should have gone to others. It's Ristolainen all over again.

I ranked Marco Rossi and Seth Jarvis above Quinn in that draft. Actually it's why at 7 in 2025, I'm still big on Carter Bear. He plays hockey hard and he's got enough skill that at worst you're getting a 2nd line player.

But what players were 21 or 22 finesse players?

I don't believe the out of shape narrative. They have a crappy defense and bad goaltending. Being in shape isn't fixing that.

I'm old now, and forgetful, but I feel like something major happened that would change our Jack Quinn outlook. Ah well, my memory is my Achilles heel these days. Anyways, since they have nothing to do with taking Mrtka at 7 and drafting only D, not sure what point you're making here. Buffalo has drafted more D than F in the last few years. They've taken a goalie every year for 3yrs, they should again. They can take a D at 7, Smith is a good option. Idk what were even arguing about.

There's 2 things going on. First is Adams backed this team into a corner. Every forward is either signed or an RFA. Someone has to be moved then to change it up. Second is that how long do we wait for Quinn? I've suggested 15 games because part of me still believes in the skillset but if the right deal hits this summer, move on. Buffalo isn't a rest and recovery team.
