for 1, the sabres were the worst team of the century when reinhart started


and the cat was playing with kane and toews


I mean if you want to compare guys like Seth Griffith and Benoit Pouliot on the same page as Kane and Toews, have at it boss

- homiedclown


Ok, so playing with toews and kane is better than eichel?

Take the L

I mean to be fair to you, a 6th is almost a 1st.

😀

When the flyers trade went down for risto, I believe (2) 2nds and the 1st were an option? Maybe I'm wrong.

Hagg replaced the second rounder? Any of this sound familiar?

Gonna take more to acquire 2 time 40 goal scorer debricat than slightly more than 0 time 40 goal scorer risto.

Your probably right with 3 premium pieces plus a prospect

I think where you are getting this is we thought maybe Hagg could be flipped for a 2nd? I mean, why wouldn't we take another second over Hagg if offered? That seems like a no brainer. I don't think the cat is really on the block nor an option. Just trying to deduce current value from past trades.

rob ray, kaleta or girgens would have 50 points if they played with kane and toews in 18-19

Not very many (my guess would be none). But there's always a chance. IDK feeling optimistic. Kids slept through the night, woke up only mildly tired.
- SDSabre


Quite a bit more than none as if they sign with the drafted team right after their season ends they burn a year of their entry level deal. If they sign elsewhere they can’t sign until August and don’t burn that year. One year closer to the next contract is a big thing

Sounds good.

I don't remember the last time the Sabres had an impact player whose last name started with an 'I'. In fact, never.

We're due.

Having Jiricek fall to 9 would be unbelieveable to me, only to be surpassed by Cutter falling to 16.

Cory Pronman posted a great article yesterday which he had anonymous feedback from NHL Scouts and Executives from several teams...
One of the comments about which prospects could rise up was Cutter slipping into the top 4.

I have a hard time believing Gauthier slips past the Ottawa, Detroit, Columbus trio of teams.

Bichsel is intriguing at 16 for me, let alone falling that far back. However, he was one guy cited has having too much hype attached to him by the public evaluators around that area, so maybe he falls back into the 20/30's

- IonSabres


I'm with you, no way in hell they take all forwards and Bichsel at 16 makes sense, another D with size. If Miro is there at 28 I take the gamble bc you know TB will take him and come out smelling like roses. 9 is the question...I want Cutter but don't see him dropping down to us. We need centers so hopefully they take the best center on there board.

I am a sabres fan first so I want them all to do well

gus is on my long list of first rd picks where I expected more

I think 2 first round guys in the last 30 plus years lived up to my expectation, vanek and mckee

the others leave me wanting more

Draft at 9.
Trade 16, 2nd rd next year, Rosen and a small add for the Cat.

- ImThatGuy


I'd be all for it...fits the age timeline, big time goal scorer. I think there might have to be a little adjustment due to Chicago wants a player that is already in the NHL. Might cost someone like Krebs.

didn't match the all time low when they pouted at the draft when the habs took Jarred Tinordi so the sabres take their next d man on the board instead of colye, nelson, hayes or kuznetsov


the worst part is their video scouting on tinordii sucked because he was a bust

Not sure we’re particularly desperate at center: tage, middlestadt, Krebs, Cozens. None top tier but all solid. Now if you tell me one of the draft picks is a #1 center I’m all in, but not sure this draft has that??

didn't they mutually agree on different players? Sabres didn't want Tinordi.

our best prospect at center though is Von Barnekow?


need to grab 2 or 3 in the first 6 picks IMO

Have the extra 1st

And could take on whole salary

But it doesn't seem like a Adams move

For sure the Cat ain't impacting that.
