He gets overpaid to retain him.

And I don’t see Adams doing that especially since he has to work on deals with Quin, Peterka, and Byrum. 

[HumanSlinky39]

Yeah, so this is playing out exactly as I expected.

Zucker and Byram are really increasing their trade value 

Don’t you dare good sir!

This team needs Byram more than it needs Power.  I don’t want to move either, but Bo is eating 5 on 5 minutes like crazy and is a plus five.  After a tough couple of weeks, he’s been excellent for a while.

What deals have Peterka and Quinn earned?

Bridge deals unless JJP wants something like what Muel got (which is unlikely).

They have no leverage (not that it has mattered to KA before) and I would love to see them on "prove it" deals.

It’s an opportunity for him to succeed in tougher matchups or at least learn from them. 

Well Kulich has been playing well and Ruff does not appear to love the skill set of his centers.  He previously mentioned moving Tage to wing, and he did it to Cozens.   
 

Duffer mentioned that McLoed gets more than 4th line minutes, which I have also been tracking.

Did cozens earn his pay day? Adams isn’t paying what they have done, he’s paying them so they dont do better somewhere else

Bridge deals real done exist much anymore. At least not in this team

On this team Zucker has earned the right to be overpaid and Adams would be foolish to let him get away, at least while Lindy is coach.

Two wrongs don't make a right; Cozens didn't earn his contract and neither did Power. Hopefully Adams learned his lesson on those two.

Byram back to zero goals for the night 

[Slack_in_MA]

Crap goal. Get it back.

[Pimlach]

Big brake for McKinnon.  I hope this is offside.  

[mjd1001]

Its very close, but the first angle looks offside.

 

[Slack_in_MA]

That's offside dammit

He’s paying them for what he thinks they will develop in. Adams won’t change 

[Doohicksie]

Woohoo!  No goal!
