Agreed, but my overall point is, passing on the best player available because he's a defensemen when you "need" a forward or vice versa ends up being a foolish move 99.9% of the time.

What you're referring to is the flip side of drafting who you think is the best player available. And that is "you had better be right".

I mean considering we took Quinn I hope I’m wrong at this point and Jack ends up being the 8th best player from this draft if not better.

We've gone thru this before.

2nd round pick, worked his way up to captain
Multiple 30 goal seasons


Nothing "given" to him.
Coached his sons hockey team (, while in the nhl)

Big part of successful teams

Boss type player = pommer

2nd overall pick
Soft, slow and doesnt give %100
Richard off the ice
Loser teammate full of losers
No captain or even an A
25 goal scorer riding shotgun to eichel

See the difference

This is my favorite analysis today.

This would make a good location. Sam Reinhart: loser teammate full of losers, NY

The name “Sabres” is offensive

For now they will be called the “Buffalo Hockey Team Full of Losers“

Reinhart named captain

3 reasons this will never happen:

Drafted as a center
Worst 2oa pick in 400 years
Smile is not as cute as Pominville

I won 4000 against myself for betting on the Quinn pick yesterday. I'll gladly take the extra 5.

I took all of Flacco's internet points, seeing that the best qbs win games by throwing the ball and defense stopping teams randomly.

Unfortunately he didn't have many points accrued.

So to sum up: Jack Quinn is Josh Allen, and Marco Rossi is Bo Callahan. He must have never seen the $100 bill that was left in the playbook.

And none of his teammates went to Rossi's Birthday Party.

So now size matters?

And that is the probelem, he lacks elite hands. That's a pretty big hurtle to overcome.

Speed is awesome but I can list a bunch of sabres over the last 20 years who could fly but didn't have the hands to keep up with the legs. Several of them were 1st round picks too.

How many prospects have we locked in the top 6 over the last 10 years?
