Who moves 13 for Konecny straight up?

And what if you have to add a 2nd or a 3rd?

- TheSabresTaco

Certainly wouldn't be adding Philadelphia's 2nd

I think he's the kind of guy they're looking to add. Not sure he checks all the boxes but as a physical point scorer, they're probably looking to add a profile like him.

His defensive scores and baddy bad bad

He could be, could be a expensive contract in a few years when he hits FA

I'd wait for the clock to start on the pick to pull the trigger to see what prospects are still on the table. I am leaning towards moving the pick for him though.

Good Depth signing by the Bills Brandon Shell OT, give Brown a bit of competition.

Torts said he was an airhead early on in the season, Meatball might have the style of coaching he could thrive off of.

Have any of you sent a congratulatory text to Eichel this morning?
- RichardRoma


My buddy (Ny rangers fan) would always poop on Eichel and say he sucked vs McDavid comparison

Eichel this year has been very very good.

Also I’m guessing Mcdavid would trade away all his points for a finals appearance

So I still think Eichel is a jerk. But I hope he wins for I can wash it in my buddy’s face

A cup means more than anything

Konecny is a physical scorer? Does he play much bigger then his size?

This is a dated but extremely extensive write-up of what Konecny is and can be. It doesn't take into account this past season's blow up in offense (and defense). Worth a read.

Here's another one that's pretty up to date.

I think he's a player the Sabres would really appreciate.

He's had three 20+ and 1 30+ goal out of 7 NHL seasons. He has always played with an edge, last two seasons he had 77 pims and isn't afraid to fight.

He plays how Greenway should play and makes Olo, Greenway, Girgs expendable.

With Michkov in the KHL for 3 more years, could easily spell a drop to 13.

And the Sabres could easily afford to allow that from their first rounder.

- TheSabresTaco


No way he makes it past Washington. They took the Russian kid with cancer last year

I'm not down on Konecny. Just didn't know he had a physical edge.

Sounds similar to Marchand.

A top 6 player making bottom 6 players expendable..... I don't think you have that right

With a rebuild in Philly he should be a target for Buffalo. I discussed a package deal of him, Provorov and Hart, that might be too big of a deal to swing but it would immediately push the Sabres into playoff contention area.

Yeah, similar play styles. Flyers probably want 13 or Savoie for him.

Greenway and Olo played throughout the lineup. Konecny could play 3rd line and move up as needed. He is a better utility player than Mitts.

I'm curious what the difference in acquisition cost would be between Konecny and Keller.

Fans will support any deal that involves moving Savoie. He's too skinny to make it in the pros.

Read it this morning,
You boy Shmishev (sp?) Is at 10...very solid.
Scott Wheeler's drops on 6/5, it will be interesting to see the differences.

Simashev could be the best D in the draft if his development goes well. Can't argue with a 6'4 frame that skates well.

I keep flipflopping between wanting him or Reinbacher. I think Reinbacher has the better ceiling but I like the play Simashev provides and how he fits into this org. Considering Reinbacher likely goes first anyway, there's a good chance he's there at 13.
Two years in a row that a Russian is predicted to Buffalo in the first round. Maybe they get it right this year.

Is this supposed to be funny? Ask TheSabresTaco if he thinks that Savoie is too skinny to make it in the NHL.

Ya, I'd be happy with him no doubt. His review about his compete level wasn't stellar...not a knock, but one would hope the key intangibles for a possible top 10 pick would in fact be stellar.
