We can't keep paying players big money while the on ice effort is worth half the money. If Tuch plays like a 5milj. AAV but wants to be paid the dubble there is nothing to do except a trade. A first round pick and a prospect is what we will get in that case. The hard thing is to find a replacement. We don't have a replacement in the system, we could get lucky and find another ufa like Zucker, but most likely we need to trade Byram or Power to get what we need.

I don’t understand why Terry is so boneheaded. It is simple math, a winning team sell tickets and merchandise, it is also much easier to develop players in a winning system. Bring in professionals that can create that and stay out of the way!

With Kekäläinen as GM it could happen.

Hard to see Sabres as a playoff team- ever.

Excellent post! I agree 100%!

Are Blues pi$$ed enough that we should expect an offer sheet?

I don’t think Adams can fool anyone anymore. He traded for a player that can't stay healthy, he traded JJ without fixing the hole that caused. The defense has been badly constructed for years. And then there are our seven goaltenders...

To Devils for a 1st and Seamus Casey. Then trade Power and/or Byram for a top 6 center/left winger.

I don’t think it is possible to get a trade done before close to trade deadline. I believe there will be teams tanking and some might have a hard time to get to cap floor. Norris still has to be traded, and Adams wins the Worst trade in history award.

Adams should take a good look at other teams healthy scratches and try to get some help. It is painful to see a lineup like thay.

It is also the last year Norris lacks trade protection. I agree they need to trade him this season.

I rather take the playoffs, I have no hope for big changes in the front office anyway.

No idea, but more than a regular guy in construction business. Even the owner is losing his trust in Adams, but then again Adams is so good at licking the owners hairy ass.

Jarmo wanted back, he wants a second chance badly. My guess is he wasn't that expensive either.

A buy out is 1,58 milj AAV for 6 years.
