It’s called GM speak. Every NHL GM does it. Doesn’t necessarily mean he’s not going to make a big move. You’re not going to talk crap about guys who are under contract when you’re trying to move them.

Usually what Adams says in his presser ends up happening. They are going to make 2-3 changes to the current team at most.

Harbinger of a big move on draft day. Wait and see.

bet anything absolutely nothing happens on draft day.

well except for the selection, im not counting that though lol

maybe one depth d-man and a bottom six forward. thats pretty much it

I think they will resign both Okposo and Girgensons and replace Hinostroza 13th forward spot with Rousek/Biro.

Rumour is Rousek might go overseas cause they are bringing 28/21 back. Could be Biro or a depth guy in FA

Who cares about the offseason? Tis team doesn't really need much. I'd like a top-4 D-men added, but that's about it. Not sure why people sleep on Joker. He's 23. Not sure who in te world trades a 28-goal scorer for a 3rd. Get real.

Dahlin-Sammy 47GF 34GA
Power-Joker 39GF 39GA (as a 19-year-old rookie!)
Stillman-Boosh 6GF 7GA

That D is pretty good.

Can't sign Johnson to that, and selling short on Olofsson.

Great to read what other Sabre (and one kings/ducks) fans think.
So many options when Buffalo have 2 can't miss (Savoie and Kulich) and 2 highly probable (Ostlund and Rosen) forward prospects waiting in the wings.
Trading Olofsson's 28 goals for a third would be really low on my list of likely events.
There are many UFA defensemen available this season, they may sign one of them, my target would be Ryan Graves from the Devils.
They MAY try to improve their FO% and PK by signing Noel Acciari, he may be had for less than $2,000,000 as his current salary is only $1,250,000.
Finally, they may try to move up in the draft, but Adams sits on a horse shoe (how else could Kulich fall to 28th) so the player they are targeting will fall into his lap again.

Jacob Bryson is a "A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma" obviously Power replaced him in the pecking order but last season he was -14 when paired with Pysyk or Hagg (16.4%) and +5 with every on else last season.
This season he is -13 when paired with Power or Dahlin (27.4%). What happened?

lmao 28 goal scorer who was constantly a healthy scratch cause without the puck in the act of shooting he's an AHLer

You're absolutely delusional if you think this team doesnt need an upgrade over Jokiharju in the top 4 and a new goalie. I cannot understand how people think a combo of a fresh faced rookie in levi, and a leaking sieve in UPL can get this team to the playoffs.

UPL was 17-11-4. Not that leaky.

That makes his 28 goals even more impressive if he didn't even play.
