Giving these 1 year $700k deals out like candy

The type of deals that supposedly got Tails fired from the Amerks. 
 

Makes sense.

How do these deals get an AHL coach fired?

Nope. He rode in on the Greyhound.

Cold.

I really want to understand Adams work on the players he's signed for 700K, there are twenty better players than Fogarty.  That being said, he's quality AHL depth.

It's minimum wage. He can't sign anyone for less than that.

I mean the quality of the players, not the AAV.  See Nordstrom - 700K (CGY).

Fogarty was signed to play in the minors and be an emergency fill, not the NHL.

Davidson is the blueline version of same. Pretty much every team has signed their own Fogartys and Davidsons

Irwin is our 7th defenceman. There might be other signings that are better  at minimum wage, but significantly? They will be the exceptions, not the rule.

Reider is our Nordstrom, same age, similar skillset, better career numbers.
