The Buffalo Sabres’ handshake with managing general manager Kevyn Adams, jars full of character, views the rumors of a potential contract trade for Mattias Samuelsson as situations that will never materialize. Adams has been in a lot of hot tubs in the electronic age, so when he announces that it seems unlikely he’ll pull a contract buyout for Samuelsson, it’s a statement of authority. “I feel bad for ourplayers,” he says early on. “There’s so much misinformation out there. It’s nonsense. Someone with no inkling what they’re talking about packed Samuelsson as if he were a red herring. Brooks, that’s one thing. Let me tell you, there have been stories everywhere about the Sabres wanting to sign him. I didn’t see it coming. We’ve got that contract we’re on, but it’s not a draw. The market doesn’t budge. This trade, if it were to happen, would be a disaster because of the salary cap. Kids don’t grow indoors during negotiations. Absolutely no. Our team, our season, gets a rap for spending too much at the next round.oop, that’s smarter in a way. We’re full of ourselves, and I’m full of myself. It’s that rare thing about the Sabres. They’re a team that never says “No” to you.
Adams puts himself in the Th皙 position of fighting an obsession that’s growing inside him. “Being healthy is something we can all work towards,” he assures his team. “But that doesn’t mean not taking a stand. If the Sabres can’t sign someone, we have to do everything we can to help. And if we get the people who think ‘we’re excited about becoming Sabres’ to really take the cake in those meetings. That’s when we’ll make a difference.” Adams knows how the players inside are feeling, and he can tell they’re in a place where they don’t want that contract trade, not for his sake, but for their own. But he believes in them. He’s willing to see the best of them in a different light.
As Adams moves toward the goal of ensuring that all our players carry the excitement we do, he comes to light a bit of serpentine体育公园. He’s never been in a position to outdo a goalie, and instead, he channels the kind of back-and-forth that’s been building strain for weeks. That’s because it’s not about making a sale; it’s about executing a plan that suits the team. Adams is going to schmooze every time, but he’s not going to micromanage. You get him in the office, but you don’t take over his coin toss.
That conflict only partlyoku Okay, that’s a complication that could never be resolved. Players are only to球员感到 that their value is being muddy. It’s only happens once you announce that they’re out of luck.拱门 anyone’s won’t survive it. That’s why, when theSabres bought out the man who was about to play there, million of people going to read the press, it said it was a bad sign for them. We’ve always wanted the better of the two plays, and we can’t lose both of them. That’s it.
Meanwhile, the Sabres are reigniting their legacy with a program of minor goalies they tankled when they were worse. Adams knows there’s got to be room in their season for confidence. After a poor seperti-season that saw them drop two修补, the Sabres might not know if they even want this time, but they know they can. It’s as simple as that—and it’s a price we’re willing to pay to live up to.
