Kevyn Adams this year: -went into yr with AHL goalie as his #1 and #1 goalie as his #3 -spent $15 million on Okposo, EJ, Clifton & Olofsson alone -2 FA dmen he signed were worst on the team -brings back most overpaid guy in franchise history, then trade for 7th Any = fireable
Gotta stand up for Adams here... 1. He recognized no need to make changes at goalie. Definitely the right decision. 2. He has turned the BUF blue-liners into one of the leagues best young defensive units and did it while trading Mittsy who was going to be an RFA. 3. He has a decent core of offensive talent w/ room to upgrade and/or bring up good talent. 4. Clifton has come around. It took about 30 games but he is a big reason why the defense has played well since Jan 1. 5. Erik Johnson was a miss but he wanted to bring in experience to this young club. The same reason why Okposo was re-signed. 6. This team is trending in the right direction with moves still to come. Adams is the main reason why.
@JeffHaseley @ByGerrySullivan People just like to complain about not immediate results. In Adams short time as gm he’s completely flipped the script on this team. They haven’t been rewarded yet but he’s not building for a 1 and done playoff run. He’s building for long term success and stability in the org.
@JeffHaseley @ByGerrySullivan Yeah. How was that Ullmark deal or should I say lack of a deal because he thought he wasn’t good either. Zero faith in Adams or this organization from the owner down!!! Can’t wait until they resign Girgensons next year!!! Team is a joke!!!
