Thorner Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 I said before, I’d honestly be suprised if we don’t So voted yes Quote
#freejame Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 I voted no so that way I could either take solace in being right or be pleasantly surprised in being wrong. 1 Quote
pi2000 Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 For the record, IMO it would be a huge mistake to unload prospects who they've spent years developing simply for a quick fix. They're not one or two players away from being a Cup contender. They need to continue to draft well and develop their own prospects. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. 1 1 Quote
stenbaro Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 I voted no, he GMKA has not been able to capture the needs of this team. 2 Quote

Why do you assume that a trade would be a quick fix? Quote
MDFan Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 I am prepared for another disappointing and excuse laden draft day and free agency. Tired of it, but expecting it none the less. Quote
Believer Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 Refuse to believe Ruff will let Adams stand pat without at least a couple major moves for veterans. He has plenty of assets he can package. A big physical Forward who plays a 200 ft game and likes to hold court around the crease. A big physical D Man who likes to hit and protect his star players. 1 Quote

If the #3C is someone like Cirelli or Eriksson Ek though, I'm in. Here's a question: how do you feel about trading good prospects for a higher-end guy who only has 1 season left on his deal and doesn't sign an extension as part of the trade? I'm sorta undecided on that one. 2 Quote

RangerDave Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 KA will make no move that will make "it" move on me. Quote

stenbaro Posted June 28 Report Posted June 28 I feel like we have to much invested in our defense, and would love to see us move Power, or Samuelson for a real power forward. You can sign an already proven defenseman to replace either of those defenseman. 2 Quote

Crusader1969 Posted June 29 Report Posted June 29 Not a chance. I think KA is in a tough spot, had a much tougher gig than Briere in Philly for example. sure he wants to make a deal but players don't want to come to Buffalo. we suck!!! 1 Quote
JP51 Posted June 29 Report Posted June 29 Lol Clearly Adams loves his lineup and selects another small European figure skater Quote
Carmel Corn Posted June 29 Report Posted June 29 I was skeptical already, but am even more convinced that Buffalo does nothing to improve the team immediately this weekend. They’ll tease us that they will focus on free agents, but nobody wants to come to Buffalo. Quote

The old "bet against your team" philosophy, I'm surprised isn't used more. For example, in the Superbowl you really REALLY want to see one team win over the other, so you bet a few bucks on the team you DON'T want to win. Its kinda insurance for the team that you do want to win. If your team wins, you lose a few bucks but hey! they won! If your team loses, you get a little payout. Quote
SABRES 0311 Posted June 29 Report Posted June 29 I voted no. Got some opposing reactions. Next will be the talk about how he probably tried but it’s a hard job. It is definitely a hard job especially when you are inexperienced and not the right guy for the team/situation. Quote
