I mean it just can't. They also can't have a couple of As and no C so the only person who could take that job away from him is Kyle Okposo. Kyle would have to reign in any "not buying in" attitude from Jack or it would get too ugly in the locker room. I’m fine with him having the C on it. But, I would have a heart-to-heart with him about whether he should voluntarily relinquish it. Tell him the requirements of being a C and ask him whether he wants to wear it on his sweater or not.

LGR4GM Posted July 25, 2021 Author Report Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) If drury is so smart how come he overvalued his b and c level prospects so much? It's almost Will Borgen level. Also the Rangers draft sucked. Edited July 25, 2021 by LGR4GM 1

Drury saw the writing on the wall and got the hell out of dodge. Looking back on Drury and Briere today it would have been a mistake to sign either of them to the deals that they both eventually signed. Both were bought out of their contracts. Briere had the most success but Drury went down hill pretty quickly (3 full seasons and a part) with the Rangers. Briere continued to be a great playoff performer. That being said I agree that losing both of them was a real hit to the team's culture and it may have been (actually I think that it would have been) great to sign Briere in hindsight. I don't think Drury ever wanted anything except to sign with the Rangers and it would have been better if he had just come out and said that to Darcy. The team was choosing between the two and wanted Drury over Briere. I think for the most part the fan base at the time agreed (if we could only sign one of them).

"There was a substantial offer made to him," said Quinn, who acknowledged making two recent proposals to the Drury camp. "We made it perfectly clear that we were prepared to meet the financial. They never once countered. They did not want to give us a number and ultimately said they didn't want to come back. They wanted to go to New York." I thought they had an agreement. I was wrong.

LGR4GM Posted July 25, 2021 Author Report Posted July 25, 2021 If Suzuki was included, Buffalo should have made it work. We don't need Chariot as part of the return. Makes Adams look a little dumb if true. 1

triumph_communes Posted July 25, 2021 Report Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Original rumors were Suzuki/Caulfield were off the table. Now they’re offering Suzuki for lesser talent? Sounds fake Any deal with Suzuki, a couple blue chips and cap dumps is likely worth it Edited July 25, 2021 by triumph_communes 1

mjd1001 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Posted July 25, 2021 Adams has made trades already. He made what seems to be thought of as a good trade with Risto, and a trade where most wish he got more for Reinhart. Other trades around the league have been made also, the Seth Jones trade (and contract) a pretty big one. I know the Eichel trade might/would be bigger than all of those, but maybe, just MAYBE the rest of the league sees something in him where they just don't value him as much as many of us as Sabres fans do.

Not with Montreal. I dont think much of Kotkaniemi, and feel that the B level prospects are few and far between, and aren't any better than anyone else's equivalents 1
