I don't think we trade 8oa. 8oa may not help us in 20/21 but probably will in 21/22. He could end up being Cozens part 2

pretty reasonable

Also not enough.

I wouldn't think they would interfere, but I wouldn't dismiss the idea either.

But of course, if it's the wrong player Kimmy picks, it's Adams' fault. If it's right, you better believe Kim was the genius behind the pick.

They picked Josh Allen sooooo ...

His predicted next contract from Evolving Hockey has me thinking no.

As Lunaion put it, the Sabres need to stop buying high and selling low. Extremely difficult cycle to get out of, but it's a big reason why they're a mess.

Thanks 39, if you don't mind what numbers did they throw out.

Like, (frank), how obvious is this poop?

Part of it is human nature though. There has to be a hero and a villain in every story. If both parties are in the wrong, it's just not that compelling of a story.

Not buying the Lundell hype. Flacco, don't hit me. I'm just not buying in. I have no problem being wrong in 2-3 years.

Who picked Allen

I don't think we trade 8oa. 8oa may not help us in 20/21 but probably will in 21/22. He could end up being Cozens part 2
- turbo044

The 8th overall and Cozens could very well constitute 2/3rds of top quality 2nd line for years to come.

Do not trade that pick.

No they really did lol

Who picked Allen

Josh Allen, now is Terry and Kim's baby

The pile of dead bodies behind the Sabres Org? Unrelated to the hiring ability of Terry and Kim.

I challenge you to use hindsight and say the same thing about 2013, 2016 and 2017
- TheSabresTaco

This is probably the best draft since 2016. Might even argue it’s the best once since 2015.

But yes, at the end of the day you have to make the right pick and develop the player properly.

Picking Risto over Horvat
Nylander over Sergachev

Both of which went one pick directly after is a huge reason we are in this spot in the first place.

Not buying the Lundell hype. Flacco, don't hit me. I'm just not buying in. I have no problem being wrong in 2-3 years.
- TheSabresTaco

I believe you will be wrong. Lundell has plenty of offensive skill and upside. The team that picks him will be very happy for years to come.

But did they initially hire those people? Sources here say it doesn't matter, because it's not their fault.

I thought it was a known fact it happen on draft day do you not remember ?

That's cool, I think he’s gonna be a stud and might be pro ready the soonest. But that's why I post on a forum.

If I am remembering clearly, many wondered why they didn't take Sergachev instead of Nylander.

There's always a chance of error. I never take the position of "well, historically the Sabres miss on x pick"

Every year is different. I've made my position known on what to do with the pick. But if they use it, they better (frank)ing nail it.

No, I never saw the quote that Brandon Beane said "Terry and Kim forced me to pick Josh Allen"

But I want a more Exciting player

The same goes if they use it in a trade. Sean Monahan is not worth the 8th overall on his own.

I think I'm more and more in the minority every day on this kid. Which is fine. I have no evidence he will or won't succeed. I just haven't bought in yet.

I'll look for it .. But news came out 3 picks before us that the had a private meeting with Josh Allen only the owners were there And apparently he was number one on their draft board
