The endless Buffalo rebuild continues and by the very fact that they are even considering Rick Tocchet as there next head coach tells me that once again they won't get It right.

He’s back with the team at the hotel yet everyone wants to cry for him. The guy is fine. He’s a hockey player for fvck sakes.

If you look at the point of view of buffalo

You're likely losing jack,sam

You have 3 LHD prospects that are going to be very good

Do you draft power and make Dahlin move to right" hoping it works out" and Sacrificing a center

We all remembered what happened to casey when he was forced into the 2nd line now we might be doing that to cozens

This power pick is harder then everyone thinks

- gerbe75pts


It's quite simple. Pick a forward instead and move on.

If they select powers they're also moving Johnson down the depth chart making free agency more likey

Buffalo has to do the homework lots of players will be affected by this Decision.

If they go forward no players affected when you're moving on from jack,sam with no depth at wing or center ( less work lol)

- gerbe75pts


I'm with you. Draft Benniers or deal with Seattle (if the want Power).

I guess.

Ryan Johnson still hasn’t put pen to paper yet so if he walks to UFA then we’ll see how everyone still feels about the college route

This is very true. Just don’t pick him is the safest bet. Eklund at 1, get Zegras and draft Guenther at 3.

Major profit.

Have Zeg, Cozens, Mitts down the middle with those stud wingers

and if the hit was a fraction of a second earlier

there is no goal


I mean the job is to prevent him from scoring the goal



the league wants it to be a fast pace games and stuff like this is going to happen from time to time


it's not like scheifele has a history of this

- homiedclown


It would have been impossible for the hit to be a split second earlier without the charge being even more egregious.

The course of action he decided had no possibility of preventing a goal in a legal way

Johnson just finished his 2nd season, and he has 2 seasons left. What's the rush?

Didn’t Samuelsson sign after his second season ?

It may be premature to worry about Johnson but if he isn’t signed by this time next year we are in trouble.

He did. It's also June 3rd.

Agreed it might be a concern if he's not signed after next offseason, but until then, it's nothing to worry about.

I'm sure the arena guy that does the music for the Buffalo Sabres is drooling right now

You have so many songs for him


They will probably play I got the power

It is, but why does it force Dahlin to the right side, can try and get a RD that can play with Dahlin and have a 1-2 punch at LD, have a partner for Power already with Borgen at 2RD. Think the main thing is what comes back in a trade for Eichel and Sam if he's dealt.

I really hope they don't draft him as it feels like yet another example of a lack of any kind of short term and especially long term plan by Sabres management.

Not sure what the hold up is. I don’t know how much a third year at Minnesota is going to help him instead of playing games in Rochester next year.

Unless it’s staying back for his education (which is perfectly fair) I’m a tad but skeptical

Exactly if they draft beniers Media can't be like why did they take a centre ( oh wait jack,sam gone)

Why did they draft a Winger ( oh They have no depth)

Or we can see what we get for Jack and go from there.

There's no way they would let a first rounder who's shown promise and progression hit FA. That's like 3 years down the road and anything can happen.
