Like Kevyn, I will entertain every offer. But to logically move Dahlin, I feel like you'd need to add to him and get.. well.. a Jack Eichel.
- TheSabresTaco

That's the irony in all of this, isn't it? I think that's why Hamilton put the two possible trade ideas together. If you did the Columbus trade you'd then have to scramble to add a top C somewhere else and that's tough.

And Bjorkstrand and Foudy and Elvis?
- Powerslave

Add Risto and Jones and we're done here.

Or don't at all, send him to a team that has the ability to send at least one, if not two, top 6 C prospects/young players. Zegras Turcotte Byfield etc.

Sabres are going to have a mound of committee centers and be 8 lines deep.

Dregs says there's coaching candidates still in the playoffs and in Latvia for the WC. Either way, some require their teams' approval to be interviewed. Coaching candidates that the Sabres are directly interested in.

Not much, but relatable considering Gallant just came up.

The Bod Rod

And Bjorkstrand and Foudy and Elvis?
- Powerslave

Well if you knew Rhino was staying and they add Foudy

He absolutely should.
If he doesn't, I myself would want to understand why.
That said, assuming they go you g team route, I still like The Don.
- IonSabres

agreed, donnie meatballs for the g-route...have been a fan of gallant's since his work in fla...

i'm also keeping an eye on colorado...if they drop out of the playoffs in the second round for the third straight year, sakic might not be happy with jared bednar...i'm a big fan of his

I strongly disagree.

IMO ceiling for Beniers is 50-60 points player.

I hate this draft, I don't see dynamic players.

This class reminds me of 2012. D-man heavy at the top and some non-dynamic forwards mixed in.

Eklunds going to be sick.

he seems to clash with management, often.
- TheSabresTaco

Well we don’t have much management to clash with. Kim is mainly in Florida. Terry can be baffled by bullpoop and Adams is a rink manager turned GM.

Give Kim baking tips. Tell Terry you will play the kids and win a cup. And show Adams how to melt ice.

Could be the perfect situation for Gallant.

Eklunds going to be sick.

And you’d have to find a way to get rid of skinner. Which would be more shocking.

Jokes aside, the Pegulas have an extremely difficult time with trust. They've canned a lot of people because of it. Their nephew, gerbe, has reinforced this many times. I don't think they'd be interested in signing a coach they weren't totally comfortable with. Gallant just doesn't seem like it. Regardless of his coaching acumen.

To many off ice activities for Gallant.. He wont be able to keep up

- Gr8daygo

That's like 10% of the total shock value.

I don't think we'll even need to imagine the storylines, but they would be so (frank)ing on par with this backwoods franchise.

Just trade him with Eichel and get nothing in return

Eklunds going to be sick.
- DirtyDan

I can't wait to see how many people bash Adams for not drafting Power even if they didn't want him in the first place.

it's Kim's birthday today and the comments.

Power is going to be really good. He's a perfect foundational piece for Seattle. trade back and let them take him for Miller and be done with the 500 RD experiment. Take Eklund, profit.

And that’s fine, he should be interviewed at least.

I still think it comes down to...

- Donny Granato
- Gronbeard
- bbq
- ott.

I think your next coach is one of those 4.

Yes and no. It's their right to hire someone they're comfortable with. That goes for any business owner. Call their references, background checks, etc. They still struggle with making the correct hires.

I dont understand this are you just going off Scouts? Hell half the leagues didn’t play this year
After the 2014 weak draft comment from all scouts Their word isn't very much
