Does the fact there has been no movement actually signal hope?

Similar to the late Aughts, we just need to wait for our new core to mature. Ya know, youngest team in hockey’n’all.

Ok, now a real response. I think Terry doesn't really care unless it impacts his rich guy yacht money. Adams, isn't good at making moves and other GMs keep waiting to fleece him. So when they can't, they tend to hold. 

So you have 2 factors, Terry doesn't care enough to put pressure on, especially with the Bills still going. And 2, Adams isn't competent enough in his job regardless of the limits Terry has on him. 

Very fair analysis and has got to be truth in here.  I do find peculiar that Terry says the answer is in this room essentially we are not doing anything... could be bs windows dressing and an attempt to settle things down with Adams working behind the scenes to find a worthy trade and not wanting to get fleeced. I think it is more likely that what he is being offered is picks and prospects because top 6 players with NMCs won't come here thus his palm tree comment.

thats sounds optimistic if the current management stays...  but I guess you never know... 

Hope can really only grow if Adams is gone.  His plan is crap and everyone in the NHL knows it including him.

I do not disagree i would go as far as saying hope can only grow if Terry commits to winning AND hires a competent GM and POHO

So, I have been pretty vocal saying I do not want Adams to have a say over our assets or lack thereof... I just don't find him capable... so is the issue simply there is no one that will come here via trade... or at least not that we have to over pay in both assets and compensation (and you know TP isnt having that) or Adams simply doesnt see a problem... (not likely)

OR  is it possible TP's "we are running with who we have" and "the solution is in this locker room" is his way of constraining Adams from making moves because he is contemplating a change (most likely at this point in the off season) . I honestly don't know... But I am hoping it is the latter... 

as always interested in the views of the board ... 

Movement?

It was a Terryish way of supporting the team after the disastrous Adams Presser were he focused on how hard it is to get better players to come to Buffalo   

It was Terry being supportive to Adams.  He has no intention on spending money on a loser.  They have to get better on their own.
