They need a scoring winger to play opposite of Forsberg though.. you just said that..

Monahan doesn't fit that?

I think they need center more that's why Barkov would of been perfect

They need a Center. A really good one.

Calgary offered all 3 of their 1sts and COL declined. Pysyk and 8 and. 16 probably isn't enough

that is a much better deal then Calgary was offering.....20 of Calgarys picks are in the 20s

Agreed.

Why have no assistants been hired yet, just because the Sabres dont feel like it at the moment?
- ImThatGuy

You're right. It is taking some time.

But don't assume that people are turning them down. Perhaps they're leaving no stone unturned, and if that's the case, I commend Brian's brother Ron for being so thorough.

Teppo
- Homer

He was the only one not fired. Again why have no assistant coaches been hired. Remember the rumors of the coaches the Sabres had contact with a couple montsh back, and then nothing.

why? I hear FLA loves Drouin.

I just dont see any situation where Mackinnon, Jones, Drouin and Barkov dont got 1-4, in some order.

Its possible of course, I just dont see it.
- Homer

I mean "if" Jones at 2 you have to take him imo

funny you spew out crap like no one wants to come here and then asked for a source and you change your tune....hockeybuzz

Next up at the podium for the 8th pick in the draft is the Buffalo Sabres's head coach Brian's brother, Ron Rolston

Ok, so they dont do that with their Head Coaching search but with their Assistants make it a full blown no stone unturned kind of search? I dont buy it.

what is the hurry? Adam is still here too.

Where did you see rumors?

There were some "possibilities" thrown around by that tool Harrington, I think, just because of Rolston's past connections with them. That's not a rumor, that's someone speculating.

- ImThatGuy

you dont even know what is going on.....clueless when it comes to assistants being hired....

you call them aging and streaky...I call them them both really good.

It matters not where Pysyk was picked, he is being viewed as a 1-2 guy now.

If that plus #8 isnt enough, and maybe your right that it isn't, then I'm not interested. That's just me.
- Homer

I guess I have never been the biggest Vanek fan, especially when he is the best player on the team. Too many games you barely notice him.

Anyway, the Sabres have to build piece by piece and they don't have any elite talent right now and I think they realize that. I think they realize they will never be a Cup contender without obtaining them. It was relatively easy to get their current talent so if they have to give up a bunch for a #1 center so be it. They can get a lot more 2nd -3rd line talent again, easily.

i agree, but I think Miller or Vanek has more value than #16

not as an asst coach though

- toddkac

Their 1st pick is at 6. They could get a better player than at 8. Plus if That was in the ballpark of what COL wanted I'm sure Feaster would have added a player and subtracted the last first rounder or something.IMO Colorado wants Jones at 2 and are trying to get FLA to give up a decent amount to move up 1 spot

I miss Kevyn and James, dont you Homer?

I guess I have never been the biggest Vanek fan, especially when he is the best player on the team. 57% of the games you barely notice him.

Im searching. I believe it was a college coach, who denied interest in the job.

I think they consider Vanek an elite talent. If they dont why would you offer him 8 years 64 million?
