Bullpoop, I'm not ending up in a hole in your basement.

I won't help you move your chair into your van either.

For weeks, Sabres GM Kevyn Adams awoke at 5 a.m. to watch video of draft prospects. He wants to be sure when he's on the clock with a trio of first-round picks Thursday night.

It's the franchise-building opportunity he wished he had in 2020.

The quote I referenced a few times from Jerry Forton.

"But I actually think the top six or seven, you can almost check them right off. I do think there's a group right after that there's a chance you're getting just as good a player at nine as you're getting at four or five."

It's hard to think they'd be trading up in this zone, and even if they do, I don't think they move more than two spots up and won't pay too much to do it.

Carlo
Edit: Actually as I posted, he has some concussion problems, maybe not.

They love Carlo and would never let him go for that.

Interestingly … looks like both Miroshnichenko and Yurov have made it to Montreal for the draft! https://t.co/PvD0LZqo5H

Only thing that makes sense to me is if they are trading up for Nemec/Jiricek.

If not, I take my chances and take the forward that falls into my lap at 9

I mean if Nemec makes it to 6/7, maybe. I'd say Jiri is falling but I don't think anyone knows what the (frank) is going on.

Some really good 1st rnd picks from everyone, the more you look at all the posts here. You see the Sabres really can't go wrong, gonna be good players available.

It shouldn't take nearly that much. It might cost you 28 and a later round pick.
