Do you realize how bad this sounds.

Hes a top prospect look at how hes playerd.

also

Its hard to be a top prospect because he really hasn't played.

Me. I do. That was my entire point. I'm surprised they got ALL futures that won't help us for at least 3 years

I don't understand the confusion

- sbroads24



So you wanted guys that would be leading our youngins for a couple years and then when there fed up with losing they leave…

Great idea…

You didn’t watch the last 5 years I assume….

i do not (most of the time)...

i just don't understand how someone can bash a player relentlessly for years then pooh-pooh a trade that featured a top-15 pick, an nhl player and a second rounder because it doesn't meet some jilted expectations

- Michael Pachla


Not at all what he said.
The two pieces were better than anticipated.
Would have been nice to get players closer to joining the NHL.
That's it, that's all

I have a hunch that the return wasn’t that great because he said piss off to an extension with FLA.

It was a deadline deal only Florida get the whole season with him and if they stink for whatever reason, they can recoup the pick.

- dadeadhead

Supposedly Adams turned down a prospect (never heard any names mentioned) in favor of FL’s first round pick. Samson hasn’t signed anything with FL yet. Reports are they’re “close”.

You do seem to plant a lot of unnecessary flags. There was a time where Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterburg were nobodies.

There was also a time where Patrik Stefan was amazing.

Post draft, draft clout should mean nothing.

If a kid shows he deserved to be drafted higher or lower, that should be taken into serious account.

The Sabres have, very (frank)ing recently, shown that maybe, just maybe, they know what they're doing when picking up players.

lolgoalies aside.

Lol who is this?

you're unhappy with the return because they didn't get players that could help within the next two to three years...

kapooh-pooh

taken as a whole the return for those two was excellent, even if it wasn't up to your standards

no...the market is the market and the market doesn't consider the desires of fans
- Michael Pachla


Sabres are looking for long term guys like 22 and under. It is what it is. It's sad, but it is what it is.

Oh so you don’t want Trevor Zegras or Byfield because they might get sick of losing soon despite them being the best prospects available?

Yeah that’s a great idea

So you're intentionally being dense.

Got it

- sbroads24

no...you're cornered and you can't get out of it...no amount of whining or pivoting will take away from your original quote in which you claimed you were frustrated and really wanted more from those trades--players closer to playing in the nhl...

news flash...no nhl gm cares what you or i want or desire

Nah. I’m tired of the same antics.

I made a simple point that I’m surprised we didn’t get any prospects that have been developed in either trade and he tried to turn it into a debate about something different and purposely misconstrued my point

No, no, no

Build through prospects.

Stop trying to speed up a re-re-rebuild. It’s just begun.

It didn’t work the last 10 years.

Build. The. Right. Way.

All of teh usdden with this.

I never once in two years have heard anyone say Devon Levi is a guy the Sabres need to go get.

Now the Sabres acquired him, he's the top goalie prospect?

AN article from 6 Months ago on FLorida Panthers prospects.

You know whos name is not on there?

- ImThatGuy

Well, when we thought Ullmark was our guy and UPL was our future, and GMKA inclination was he better hedge his bets if Ullmark does not sign, I’d say he is a great prospect signing

He said the Risto return was great like 10 times.

You can say great return and also say, its surprising that no player acquired will help this team for another 3-5 years.

Reinhart wasn’t getting those guys so your point is invalid dood.

Stay on one path stop going all over the place.

Either what we got was good or it isn’t there’s not in between cutting corners.

We got a top prospect and a first for a rental.

Tis all.
