The idea that simply doing in nothing in goal is an option is certainly reinforced by the fact if one even *mentions* how poor the GT has indisputably been, posters will swoop in with the “well, NO goalie could have done well, it’s the D!” The outright refusal to admit its both. They can’t even allow the goalie point to be made.
I think there’s actually 2 ways to look at Friedman’s report: it’s not about whether Adams *intends*, full out, to buy time with Levi and he’s already made up his mind. No, I’m sure Adams is OPEN to other moves.
But we already know this. We know he was “open” to signing Ullmark, he attempted to add a different G this past summer - the distinction is the price he was willing to pay to do it. He wasn’t willing to break his evaluation, there wasn’t going to be an overpay, the priority was the future so we’d only add in the now under ideal circumstances
it’s not about if KA is planning to start Levi. We know he’s going to give him every opportunity - and we know he’s “open” to a move elsewhere. it comes down to how willing KA is to prioritize that move, should it become necessary. If KA ardently sticks to his thing again, he’d happily take the lower expectations that come with, anyone would
it’s not, “will he or won’t he”, if he doesn’t upgrade in net, even going on 3-4 years, it’ll be “what could Adams have even done?” But in reality, fixing GT is going to come down to how much he truly values it being fixed, for this coming season
Well that seals it. College team with ease
