I wouldn't. He's definitely a me first guy, but if he said he'd love to play in Buffalo I'd be all for it. Really he Forced himself off Breton, jackets and now the jets. You really want that?

The lid keeps it hot. I know. Hence my thinly veiled* attempt at a humourous reply about it's really the other Soupy's cup. Maybe neither of us are quite ready to give up our day jobs, eh !!??

So... the Kevyn Adams path to the GMship. 2

Well let's keep it to specifics though. He didn't get along with Tortorella. That's not necessarily on him as Torts has a history with certain players and personalities. The Jets? I will ask again, if you were a younger player going into free agency and played in Winnipeg wouldn't you test free agency? I agree there might be a question or two on him BUT I'm also looking at him showing up to play for Team Canada and playing well (like Cozens) and guys who show up for that always go way up in my book. I mean look at team USA in that thing. Eichel and Matthews both could have been there but weren't. PLD was there. Means a lot.

This site is actually a very informative one, and a lot of that has to do with him. 3

Wait for some underperforming team to fire a coach. See if that job fits. If not, wait until next June and have 5 other job opportunities that are only available to a limited and incestuous few. Life doesn’t suck for the recently fired Trotz.
Doohicksie Posted June 25, 2022 Author Report Posted June 25, 2022 I view the Red Wings as a "comparable" team to the Sabres. Both with a young core, both with a patient rebuild. I noticed this article speculating on Wings FA targets. What I take away from it is that, if these signings are accurate, Yzerman is following the same strategy as Adams in terms of bringing in supplemental players that won't block the new young core. https://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2022/6/24/23180001/steve-yzerman-red-wings-nhl-free-agency-candidates But seriously... Will Butcher??? 1

Maybe a bit from column A and some of column B?

dudacek Posted June 25, 2022 Report Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) We’re not quite there yet, but we’re beginning to see signs that the Sabres are no longer atop the list of the NHL’s red-headed step-children. Montreal just had one of the worst seasons in recent memory and has hit the reset button. Seattle is an expansion team in the traditional sense of the word. Philadelphia is broken and looks poised to go on a wildly bad overspending spree. San Jose has no prospects, no GM and the worst collection of bad contracts in the league. Chicago has a shameful scandal, a dinosaur owner and is poised to tank Arizona is a salary cap dumping bank for the rest of the league and poised to play in university gym And now nobody wants to be in Winnipeg. We’re in a group now with Ottawa, Detroit, New Jersey, Anaheim and Columbus with some kids, cap space and signs of hope. Edited June 25, 2022 by dudacek 6 1

We’re in a group now with Ottawa, Detroit, New Jersey, Anaheim and Columbus with some kids, cap space and signs of hope. The Sabres will have one of the best D core in the league, shortly. This will elevate them to the top half of the league. The forward ranks will be good and possibly above average. Goaltending is the position that will put them over the top. I am thinking Levi will be the man but as we all discuss, there needs to be a plan now. The Red Wings won Cups and had deep runs with different goalies. If the team is elite, that position is not as critical. It is the opposite of Hasek carrying the team.

You know life would be a lot easier if words just had one meaning. Actually, I think this is an issue with English only. I speak some different languages, not well any of them, but enough to know that all the words they have have only one meaning.
