Moving the 8th would just sink this franchise back more especially for a player like Sean monahan
- GERBE!!!75PTS


You can’t sink the ship any worse ..... adding an legitimate 60 point center is never bad move.

Johansson had 30 points FYI and isn’t really a center anymore.

Impatience doesn't change the state of the organization. The system, and the roster, aren't close to good enough to give up 1sts.
- Lunaion


It’s not being impatient at all ...... the 8th overall pick will take 1-3 years to develop. We have waited for mitts cozens nylander and how many other rookies to pan out or bust

Trading the 8th for a legitimate nhl proven talent is worth it.

Jeff Skinner had less offensive zone starts/60 this year than Curtis Lazar and Evan Rodrigues.

The coach kinda sucks

if money was no longer an issue for the sabres, why didn't kim and terry buy the gary roberts camp and have him coach us full time for skating issues

agreed, if nothing else it keeps him off the patriots roster
- navinrjohnson


The patriots already have about 12 RBs

Moss is looking great in practice & is gonna have a sizable role
I doubt we are interested in Fournette at all

I still think there was some shady things going on when he signed the extension, then retired


hung around enough until the sting went away, now is more focused on doing college games

Where are you getting this from?

89 has said it's krueger's team

DBTB is saying it's Pegula directing them to target Pietrangelo

Who's reporting Adams is literally doing anything?

- sbroads24

There's more being looked at then just Monahan and Pietrangelo.

Directors of Player Development
Tampa Bay Lightning - JP Cote - 27 NHL games
Dallas Stars - J.J. McQueen - 0 NHL games
Philadelphia Flyers - No director, but Brett Hextall is one coach - 0 NHL games
Colorado Avalanche - Same as Flyers, but Brian Willsie - 381 NHL games
Vegas Golden Knights - Wil Nichol - 0 NHL games

Point being, I hardly think it matters what their NHL pedigree, or lack there of, is.

- TheSabresTaco


I’ve always felt that the best guys to coach or understand the game are not the superstars. They’re gifted and while they know the game for sure, it’s the guy who has to really think to learn the details to even be able to stay in the league. Not saying it’s a hard fast rule, just saying something I’ve kinda thought for a while

I would hate to trade the 8th pick, but if it brings back a player that is 25-26 or younger, that has to be looked at.

Per CapFriendly: 1.275m overrage penalty + $2m if Dahlin is named 1st or 2nd team All-Star. Lucky on that bonus.

Yeah, but didnt the NHL and NHLPA agree that they would allow teams to spread the bonus overages over 2yrs.

Yeah tell me i would like to know..

Please tell me what qualifications he has to have because he certainly has a lot right now

- GERBE!!!75PTS


seriously? What qualifications does he have besides playing 356 career NHL games, he had 21 goals & 28 helpers for a whooping total of 49 points, all playing as a bottom 6 forward.

what is Ellis going to do, take top end talent and how them how to be plugs? Coach up our 4th liners?

I am sick of bringing in ex-players for team jobs, including the decision to hire Kevin Adams for the GM job.

This team is a mess from top to bottom.

I would do our 8th for Monahan straight up. Jack and the rest of the team need to see a real commitment to winning now - not in 2 or 3 years. Not to mention the fan base. Throw Mitts in and add Bennett. Or sub out Mitts and trade out one of Montour/Risto. Go crazy.
