For those people saying there is nothing to these rumors there is way too much smoke from too many people that would be in the loop on some level.

The million dollar question is: Is Adams a lame duck GM? If he is (and I have no idea how he can keep his job) then I don’t want him doing much of anything.

The answer is in the room. They just haven’t found where in the room it is.😝

IF they make the Pettersson deal I would go EP40, Tage, Kulich, McLeod to start as a centre spine. Have Helenuis develop another year in Rochester and see what happens in the draft “Misa, Hagens” A healthy Tage as a 2C makes this team competitive as long as other parts of the team are addressed. My biggest worry is what do they do to address the D corps if Byram is moved? Do they try to put Muel back with Dahlin? Still a massive hole beside Power.

Canucks need a centre back as a major piece of the deal. Joshua got a contract and has completely forgot what got him the contract.

Because Miller would laugh in your face

Some of the young players need to go for established NHL talent. Dont care which players it is as long as the return helps the team win

Rosen and Kulich have tremendous chemistry. Like to see him get a shot in Buffalo with Kulich or be used as a piece in a big deal. Sabres have so many young forwards a couple need to be cashed in for major pieces.

I would love to see the Sabres trade for EP40. I would hate to see Adams be in charge of making that trade.

Do It!! EP40 is a great player. Great playmaker, great defensively, can snipe. A true number 1 centre. Build around EP40 and his friend Dahlin on the backend. Staying the course with this lineup is a non starter. Make some bold moves. Try something different.

Pretty much every Chiefs win this season they should have lost.

IDK if this trade makes Carolina better. If the Hurricanes pony up the money to extend Rantanen then it changes but Necas and Drury were big parts of that team to move for a rental. And Hall doesn’t impress anymore.

Why would Adams make this trade? Rantanen was never in the room and we know the answer is in the room so the trade makes no sense for Buffalo.😝

The key is can the Hurricanes sign Rantanen. Necas and Drury are big pieces to lose for a rental.

Someone on hfboards wrote this line and I like it so much I thought I would share it here: ”In my life following pro sports, 4 decades plus, I cannot recall a larger gap between the expectations set by a GM and the reality delivered” Probably one of the worst GM performances of modern times. If Adams isn’t fired at season’s end then there is absolutely no accountability or hope that Pegula is treating the Sabres as a serious sports franchise.

Isles sign Tony D’Angelo

From Friedman’s 32 Thoughts: ”11. With all of the noise around the Penguins, I believe they have interest in some of Buffalo’s younger, NHL-ready prospects. It fits what they want.” What do the Pens have that the Sabres want? I don’t see a match at all. If Adams does something insane like Rosen and Helenuis for EK65 they might as well fold the franchise😝

Did this really need to be a thread? It’s not fact but rather what you want to see happen.

Don’t root for a loss. There is no McDavid in this draft.

Good write up. I would add that he has great leadership skills and plays the game the right way. Kinda like a ROR who didn’t drive his car through a Tim Hortons or lose his love of the game.😃

Everyone had the Bills third in the division in a rebuilding season and here they are with a chance to slay the beast and make it to the Super Bowl

Why are you walking away from McLeod?

Pure playmaker is something definitely lacking for the Sabres.
