Why does it have to be in the Sabres system. Why can't we compare to the guys we could have had. That was, after all, the point of your first post about armchair GMs and the Rossi talk.
- SDSabre

Do we want to go down that road of players we could have had, as people on here tell me, Can't live in the past!!

Bust
- Buff36

paul cyr bust or kryukov bust?

Just be patient, you can compare Powers and Dahlin in couple of years and then you might have a leg to stand on.

Quinn in a couple of years to Mitts if comparison is so necessary. Two preseason games? That's a little impatient.
- GilPerreault11

I can compare Power to the likes of Eklund, Beniers, Clarke.

And believe me, I will.

How much different would the Bills organization look if they took Rosen over Allen ?

If the Sabres took Draisatil over Reinahrt would ROR and Eichel have spent their entire careers in the Blue and Gold ?

I’m not expecting the Sabres to hit on every pick, but when we have to throw a party when they hit on one it’s pathetic.

Also, the entire scouting community trolled us when we took Quinn over whom was on the board so I don’t want to hear about any hindsight bs

Getting a little heated so everyone take a break!!

like leon and skunk?
- homiedclown

Sure. Less of a leg to stand on, as Skunk wasn't rated around 15th by most publications, and was about half and half above Leon, but if you really wanna, go for it. This type of discussion would be happening had we taken one of Perfetti, Rossi, or Lundell.

Well, two first overall D makes more sense than a 1st D and an 8th forward.

I'm sure we won't stop hearing about Rossi for God knows how long.

Oh that's tough, cause they both did a heck of a job at it.

At least Reinhart turned out to be a very good hockey player.

Maybe Zegras turns out better than Cozens but the gap won’t be apparent enough to have a meltdown over.

Passing up on Rossi/Perfetti though for a role player is huge though.

I don't know if they have hit on Quinn after two preseason games but rooting for them not to so you look like you are smarter gets tiring.

It's done and over with, wish Quinn all the success he can get.

How do you know he's just a role player, kid played hurt last year.

Well basically that's all we can hope for.

So true

Sam Reinhart was never out of place in the NHL.

Neither was Dahlin.

You want to talk whipping boys.

Reinhart and Dahlin are 1A and 1A.
- ImThatGuy

All of last year with Kruger coaching him he looked like he belonged back in peewee

I’m not writing him off. In fact I’ve never once said he was going to be a bust

I’m a little concerned now though.
- sbroads24

You guys said this about Reinhart..... He's 20 years old a week and a half ago. Give the kid some time

Yeah man. One post last night after a game that was just played, and one post at 1230pm today is an obsession.

You post about the Yankees here constantly, I couldn’t give two (frank)s about baseball. Do I ever say a word to you about it? No

So yeah, scroll past it and don’t respond, you know, like an adult would

You guys post about Quinn being a bust everyday now.

I rarely see Yank postings here. Only when they play the BJ's

All RISE!!

Yes, how dare we would like our favorite hockey team to take the better player (at least in our perception). For shame really. It's almost like wanting a top 8 pick to play like a top 8 pick is a questionable take sometimes.
- SDSabre

It was 2 years ago.... at some point you have to let it gooooooooo

All RISE!!

🤗🤗

What’s funny is some of the people criticizing us for talking about Quinn love to rail on Dahlin anytime they feel it’s warranted.

Sort of the same thing, right? Wanting more from a high pick?
- sbroads24

Dahlin plays in the NHL. Quinn does not. And Has not. Speak on the man once he is here... or if he never shows

Saying you are concerned and other things negative you might as well be. Or what else would you be referring to?
