“Will be a good top 6 piece”

Does hockey opps include GM? Ya

Other worldly sure but I’m much more extra terrestrial than multi dimensional. Less neo more

Look i could be wrong but I do think we are getting a new GM

He was evasive about his contract because he won’t be the one negotiating with him

Ok? lol

Adams is getting repositioned but I agree with you

He literally said he wasn’t sure if he’d be GM

The particular ineptness of it even for Adams made me feel STRONGLY within the first 30/40 seconds he was getting reassigned, fwiw How are you still watching lol

The way he started the conference really was, “well? What do you all want?” vibes. he looks like he could be done. Can’t listen to any more of the awful speak tho so it’s off now, I’m sure the thread will have any talking points of note

He looks like a man who knows he’s in trouble I think we get the reshuffling

lol

Did analytics have the day off when we signed DC LT?

Looking at the quote again, the idea Adams will be in a different position seems to be based on the piecing together of the two tweets that started the thread - but if that’s the actual quote the title change thing from Friedman seems somewhat out of left field and maybe not at all what is looming for Adams. Chad’s tweet, then, could be a grasp at verifying his earlier idea as being “correct” more than a good indicator a change for Adams is coming, either maybe his title won’t change at all

Ya I mean they can’t just name Adams POHO and have NO gm, because then Adams is obviously GM. There needs to be *some* plausible deniability it’s not just a meaningless shuffle haha honestly, I hope I didn’t get my hopes up, and Adams is still GM after today @Ogelthorpe?

Right. Tbh I don’t need a bloodletting. I don’t need to see KA without a pay check. I need to see him away from the GM position and frankly if that happens I’m not going to call it a “in name only” transition until proven otherwise, when I’ve maintained for a while Adams has had considerable impact in that specific spot he wouldn’t have had otherwise without that title

I’ve heard it could be a different person doing the “day to day” GM work (see: the job) - which is exactly where I’ve said Adams has been continually failing. The inability of Adams to navigate the roster into playoff contention *even given* handcuffs imposed by our (and many other) owners in a full 5 years suggest someone else deserves a shot at the “day to day” decisions that, yes, could be the difference between playoffs or not when the bar is that low. the ones that will think the moves mean nothing at all will be those still clinging to the idea Pegula is literally in the office every day micromanaging. Which, as dudacek mentioned, is a narrative borne out of a different time period with a different regime. Adams has had some rope, and if a new person is given the wheel for the 9-5, I’ll certainly take it.

I’ve lowered my bar a lot, but, even the acknowledgment Adams’ title *needs* to change because he’s simply unfit to be GM based on the results means something to me. That’s attributing meaning to it that isn’t going to be outright stated, but I’d have a hard time believing removing some of the microscope on Adams wouldn’t be functional in said decision regardless, which, we can reasonably say, would be done as a reaction to their awareness of at least the perception of Adams (whether or not they share it), and, I suppose, their desire to have the GM position better represented in the future. it would be a crumb. But I’m pretty hungry

They heard I was quitting if Adams was GM

Oh my gosh please

Addition by subtraction! They are actually going with that as the message, as the plan. i hope they are prepared for fan base crossover on that point - - - Today is a big day
