It's not about being a crybaby Mr Know It All...it's about this team taking the next step from last year...Adams did nothing to make that happen. Somewhere near 50% of this team is from Botterill, Adams has been given more than a fair chance to improve upon that and hasn't. Because we have all these #1 picks doesn't mean they will all be contributing to making this team a winner see Tyson Jost as an example who was 10th OA and is a 4th liner in and out of the lineup and on his 3rd team. Point is you don't want a Tim Murray and empty the cupboard but you want someone who will make the move when your team needs it. He has not made a major trade yet other than the 3 he was forced to make and had no choice but to do. He's left this team out to dry, even Cozens commented on how they get pushed around.
I understand it takes 2 teams to make a trade but has he really tried, he gives the same BS every interview "it's my job to make the call when someone is available". Come on, giving up a high prospect as part of a deal to get a proven vet that will help now and into the future isn't going to kill the pipeline. Mark my words at least half of these 1st rounders in the pipeline won't make it as top line forwards. We have invested in the core so it's time to get the players to continue to make the necessary progress especially since the core is made up of youngsters.
Well there’s A LOT of bs to unpack here, but here we go
1- “Somewhere near 50% of this team is from Botterill”
Acquired via trade were: Tage, pick that drafted R.Johnson, Jokiharju & Skinner
He drafted: Cozens, R.Johnson, Dahlin, Samuelsson, Mitts & UPL
That’s 9/23 which is less than 40% (39%)
And if i were to use all 29 guys who have played for us this season, that % drops down to only 31%
I can see why you’d exaggerate to try & make your point,
but it’s really so flimsy that it just won’t help all that much
I’ll give u a chance to admit your wrong about that before i bother to rip apart the rest of your nonsense
