Nope, most prospects don't live up to they hype.

Reinhart according to many has not live up to his draft position.

Same with Eichel.

Dahlin is being traded for peants by a lot of Sabres social media.

Tell me again how fans are supposed to get excited about another 3+ years of top 5 draft picks when three guys above were supposed to be franchise altering.

- ImThatGuy


Reinhart was never suposed to be franchise altering but the other 2 yes. And Eichel was. He put cheeks in the seats. Most exciting player I've seen here. To bad nobody put a real team around him.

Dahlin is sytill so damn young I dont know why your getting so uptight. They're kids,

Your probably 40 and cant do what they can so shat up.

because the arena hasnt been a morgue for years now?

People would rather watch non Sabres hockey up until recently and now they dont even want to do that.

People aren't even mad, they are apathetic, they don't care.

I know Im one of them. Barely watched games this year. Maybe a couple minutes of a game then i'd turn it off.

Once they're exciting again I'll be back,

Why waste my time watching something i'll get mad at.

Doesnt mean ill never watch again. Moron

They still show up to Bills games after winning 2 playoff games during my entire existence.

Get good players and they will come back.

Nothing that anyone can say right now is going to make anyone excited. It is what it is right now. That said... there are still a lot of things to be encouraged about.

If or when our good players are traded, some interesting players will be returned. The team will be extremely young, but I would think entertaining. If they perform like they did in the last 6 weeks, I'll be here for it.

Me too. There's a pretty good chance in my mind that the Sabres come away with 2 top-10 picks depending on what happens.

The Sabres also have 10 picks this year. With all the uncertainty, there could be some very good sleepers in the mid rounds.

Two 2nd round picks and two 3rds. They might land some terrific players there

After giving it some thought I think Adam’s should be calling all the other teams in the top 10 and see how much they would be willing to give up to move to 1st.

One team in particular I think makes a lot of sense is the kings. LA is loaded at center and still have kopitar for the next 3 years which is why I never saw them as a fit for eichel but what they do have is a massive hole at LD something that may or may not be there at 8.

Also with dahlin as your 1 LD I don’t believe Power is a tier above the rest enough to fill the one position that the sabres actually have locked up and I don’t believe Adam’s has the balls to go against the consensus.

Furthermore I don’t believe their is that much of a difference between the players in the top 8-10 and I don’t think any of them should be playing in the NHL to start next year unless they blow the doors off of training camp.

Everything I’ve read and seen on power has led me to believe he’s a Noah hanifin 2.0, not a bad player but not the superstar you’re hoping for at one.

If I’m looking at D Hughes I think has a higher ceiling and being a full year younger has more room for growth. I’m also super high on Clarke and I could be willing to take the chance on him over power as well

If I’m looking at forward beniers is a great two way C may pan out as a low end #1 or a decent #2, guenther’s 12 goals and 24 points in 12 games makes me wonder if he could have taken 1st overall if a full season was played out, eklund could have been in last years draft had he been born a month earlier and he put up better numbers than both Raymond and holtz in the SHL this year.

8 nfl games with intense competition from the home team trumps 41 nhl games where you can get spanked on a regular basis


even when the bills were a sub .500 team it was a party like atmosphere


the key bank center has had a funeral home pulse for over a decade now

Sure.

Cozens looks good, Mitts looks to be turning it around. Dahlin looks to be improving

I have 0 faith in this ownership and FO to make the right moves.

I need to do more digging on the 2nd and 3rd rounds, but if Cossa is there at 33, you take him. It's a position of need and good value for that pick. Best of both worlds
