What I Would Do if I Were Kevyn Adams

Created by: OldNYIfan
Team: 2020-21 Buffalo Sabres
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 17, 2020
Published: Jun. 17, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
1. Settle down.

2. Change my voicemail announcement to "Hello, this is Kevyn Adams. In case you didn't know, I'm the new General Manager of the Buffalo Sabres, and if you did, No, I'm not trading any first-round picks. I'm not in right now, so leave me a message and in the immortal words of Joe Walsh, maybe I'll call."

3. Resolve not to trade Eichel, Reinhart, Olofsson, Dahlin, Jokiharju, UPS er UPL, Cozens, Mittelstadt, Johnson or Samuelsson.

4. Post a sign on the wall opposite my desk reading "Don't Do Stupid."

5. Trade away players for draft picks only. Less likely to make serious errors of valuation that way and less likely to acquire players who don't want to be in Buffalo.

6. Draw the right lesson from the Skinner and Okposo contracts.

7. Pull down my pants and slide on the ice.

Not sure whether Hutton recovers from his vision problems or Pilut returns from the KHL.

I'll put you down as a vote that those figures are overpayments. I think both players are coming into their own and in a couple of years, these contracts are going to look pretty good. But you could easily be right.


I think it's actually an underpayment for Reinhart.

I'm of the belief Reinhart takes a 2 year deal to hit UFA ASAP. However, if BUF wants a long term deal... who's the 2nd best Sabre forward? Reinhart... who's the snd highest paid Sabre forward? Skinner. I would think Reinhart would need 9.25-9.5 to sign long term in BUF. Reinhart has outscored Skinner by 30 points the past 3 years, neither is worth 9, but I can't see Reinhart settling for less in Buffalo.

In theory thoughm Reinhart is only a 6-7mill player, the Skinner contract ratchets his value up though in BUF.

Well, in another almost contemporaneous post I traded him for Derek Stepan, Antti Raanta and a move up from the 6th to the 5th round in the 2021 draft and a lot of people had to change into dry pants.
