Lol yeah and then the end to the offseason 😂

It could be a 2 for 1 type trade. I don’t know.

The Sabres front office has gone on vacations recently and took time off.

“Zoom” meetings. So not much in person.

Been hoping for a parts for the whole trade for some time. Fingers crossed.

My most recent source update is that Adams does have a couple trade offers for a couple Sabres players.

Krebs not signed yet was a hint and means something.

He can pull the trigger as early as this week

There's still 23 RFAs unsigned

His targets are drying up. He can't get Ehlers, Necas wouldn't sign here apparently, he wouldn't take full Laine, I guess he still likes Farabee. He's been trying to make a move the entire off-season but has established a base line of safety with zucker.

I don't think he's done (trying). But I have little confidence in him doing what needs to be done to add a younger scorer, compared to the need which I think he think he needs one.

As in, he may not value a scorer enough to be in a bind next year with a bunch of RFAs in line, plus cost of acquisition.

Makes sense and checks out. He's interested but gun shy.

Just in time for adams to get fired and lindy to step into the GM role and take another 2 years implementing his coach and roster changes

At this rate 17 years looks like a lock. The bills will be proud

I'm setting the o/u at 87.5 points. I think Terry will keep his boy employed if they have another near miss. We're stuck with Adams and Terry until one of them departs this mortal coil

Yea I have a hard time believing they will crack 90 unless everything goes right. Who knows it could just click

Otherwise we will hear about how we got the steal of the draft for the 3rd year in a row

With Benson and Zucker on L3, who's the 2LW? If one is up on that higher line, which is probable, you lose that production. Any of the rest aren't offensive talents, to me, so L3 could still struggle to produce.
- QuinnFan


Good point with one of Benson or Zucker at 2LW.
If so, I like 36's idea a lot of Kulich and I'll say Rosen on L3, or maybe Helenius.
As long as it isn't Greenway as he isn't enough of an Offensive threat.
I could see Ruff using a Vet in Zucker at 2LW.
Benson - McKeod - Kulich would be fun to watch and could do some damage

It would seem so but I dk. Resigning Mitts and kicking the can down the road on Power would've been more wussy outcomes. He did pull a couple triggers, for better or for worse.
