Thread: Move over Adams
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>Sounds right, that's the only one I would do. That one and the Ducks one anyways.</div></div>

You dont want this team to get tougher and harder to play against? You arent sick of watching opposing teams punch Dahlin in the mouth? You think this team would do well in the playoffs when its thunderdome and anything goes? Did you watch the Calgary game last week, 1st period they tried to skate with us and went down 2-0, 2nd period the just decided that they were going to beat the hell out of us and they did, they owned us both mentally and physically, as Craig Rivet mentioned in his podcast their 7th toughest player is tougher than our toughest player. The recipe is simple, if you want to beat the sabs just hit them until they give up. These trades give us a backbone, it gives us pushback and it gives us a 4th line that can change the momentum of a game along with a dman that will actually hit and defend 26 and 24 when they get attacked. if you cant see this is what they need than you will never get it..

Thread: Move over Adams
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hairyberry</b></div><div>Bro really said move over to a top 5 gm and then gave up all that for schenn Joshua and boeser</div></div>

Gave up what? Bryson is a 7th D, Bloom may never crack the NHL , Olly is a goal scorer with zero defensive skills who holds some value because he has a decent shot. Schenn has more points than any dman on our team not named Dahlin, also he actually tough which we have ZERO of, also he leads the league in checks which we have ZERO of? Do you watch hockey? Joshua is a nice player, hard hitter and can scrap with offensive upside and Boesser is a wayyy better all around player than Olly. This team goes into the playoffs like this they will get physically intimidated every game. Watch more hockey and get back to me.

Thread: Conservative deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>Seriously?
Signing Eakin over Larsson you think was a good move?
McCabe was signed for $4,000,000 which indicates his value. He played hard, hit, PK'ed, ate minutes and was solid in his own end.
Just because the team was bad does not mean all of the players were bad.
Those was three of many dumb moves KA made until Karmanos was directing traffic.
Letting Ullmark walk was the worse, signing Eakin the second and McCabe would easily get plenty of ice and PK time on this team.

Look what Hawk fans think of McCabe:

A second is not enough.
Bryson would not fetch a 5th at this time.</div></div>

Did i say signing Eakin was a good move? Is Larsson even in the league anymore? and as far as McCabe please look at his advanced analytics, he was awful. When we resigned McCabe I am sure we overpaid since no player in his right mind wanted to be in Buffalo. Crazy idea, if we want to trade for a 6th dman we should get trade for someone with some nasty to him because if this team makes the playoffs as good as we are offensively we will physically get our asses kicked. McCabe will not help that one bit, he is just a moderate upgrade to Bryson/Clague

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PantsOffnJacket</b></div><div>At the beginning of the year I was very against his signing(still am at that aav) but I will say I've come to appreciate what he brings to the team but sadly it's not worth the 4.5 mil hit...he's been playing top pair/top4 minutes all season and doing an adequate job at it but you can tell he's out matched. He should be a #5-6 dman at best and so not playing against top lines...he can't keep up.</div></div>

Sadly in Buffalo its almost worth it since he wouldnt play much, between Dahlin, Samualson and Power playing 25 mins a game he wouldnt' be playing more than 15 mins a game once Jokiharu gets back. Our problem is we have zero toughness, like literally ZERO and our best players get attacked on a regular basis. I know he can help change that because watching your best players get punched in the mouth every game is rough.
