A higher % than any other 1 spot math checks out

Probably the greatest commentary on whether or not Adams is addressing the defence too slowly, or at a reasoned pace: If you are able to trade *Josh Bloom* for a guy who lines up on your top pair the next game, when you are in a playoff fight, and you have *checks notes* one injury on D...you should have already had a better option

Yup. It’s hard to gauge exactly how severe his interest in Chychrun was, though we certainly know there was interest. In the end he decided he wasn’t worth the cost: but he would have taken him on the team. He wasn’t being ruled out for character reasons

Just the one still

Agree. Making all the picks again would be overkill

Sometimes athletes with that demeanour thrive in a big market. Like Eli in New York. Don’t often take the bait

It’s kind of interesting we dealt Gaustad at the deadline that year when IIRC we were still very much “in it”. the “grey piping” on the sweaters era is sorta a no-man’s land era

Well if it’s any consolation, Kevyn Adams admitted exactly this in his letter! 😆

Yes. He also played an extra in Straw Dogs. - - - Anyways, in the road trip movie (it’s bad), the main guy sings a song called “in the buff” and I think about it every time I read your posts

Have you ever seen the movie Road Trip: Beer Pong?

Yes I know. All the great historical athletes were born 50-100 years ago and the Earth just stopped pumping out figures with that level of talent

From quite a few accounts he satisfied all three for KA, at least to the extent KA, supposedly, seemed to consider him a viable option. I suppose there’s a chance it was all smoke but, seems unlikely Probably just a case of, “there can only be one winner.” Adams was certainly interested in the player, but never, apparently, at the price it was going to take

I think we heard it enough times from enough reputable sources that it’s probably very likely they were involved in talks. The reason I asked was specifically because you think he’s a cancer/or at least not a fit, and, assuming Adams was attempting to acquire him, I was curious as to what you’d think of that

Do you think all the countless reports we heard that Buffalo was speaking to Arizona were fabricated? Actually asking.

McDavid going to score over 150

Of course Carolina is the team doing little relative to the other contenders in the east. Seravalli mentioned they were concerned with upsetting the chemistry in the room. They did make a minor move for Ghost If there’s any question trying to be Carolina is what is in Adams heart of hearts, I’d be surprised They are certainly the model we are after, I think

Funnily enough Frank Seravalli is yacking on Tim and Friends about how Chychrun can seamlessly play the right side

Not sure what you want. I mean, we hung a Banner not 3 years ago Just ask Iron Mike

It’s just interesting because the tweet points out “assists” as a negative but, like you say, that wouldn’t be on him, then, considering all that blue

Wonder why his primary assists is so low when those passing metrics, as pointed out, mostly look great

At this point honestly I just hope he’s willing and able to take some true swings this offseason, I’ve kinda given up on the deadline I’ll be pretty thoroughly disenfranchised with an offseason similar to last, with more development being touted need to see some proactive action reflective of the fact playoffs are the goal and expectation, and not just something we are hoping eventually appears as a symptom of process

It’s kinda funny that’s another college goalie of ours to LA

What does your heart tell you?

Sabres twitter is DARK right now lol
