It’s actually kind of crazy they stuffed the draft and then free agency so close together.

As soon as each front office gets home, they get no time to rest.

(Fully aware teams prepare for both free agency and the draft)

Can’t believe we’re doing this, but alas. Here is every Buffalo Sabre that is under 6 ft:

Jeff Skinner
Tyson Jost
Victor Olofsson
Vinnie Hinostroza
Jacob Bryson

Yep, that’s it, that’s the list. And there’s a chance the last 4 players won’t even be on the team next year
- DirtyDan

I had this convo with my son last night after they picked Benson. And on top of that they have three players that are 6'6. The size thing is so overdone.

MORE BIG D

Big boy, hopefully he keeps developing. Had a good year that really vaulted him up the boards.

Wahlberg's tracking profile from the J20 is good across the board. Played in a low-scoring environment and had to do a lot of heavy lifting himself, both offensively and in transition. Also broke up quite a lot of plays defensively.

Players weighing 200 or more:

Forwards:

Girgs
Greenway
Okposo
Thompson
Tuch

D:

Bush-can
Power
Samuelsson
Dahlin

1 forward has the dog in him - Tuch

1 - dman has the dog in him - Dahlin - Samuelsson uses his size but doesn't play with snarl

The Sabres roster is still composed of soft style players with minimal support to get into the rough stuff.

He might lack the IQ to play center. But he has some great size and skill.

- Fogolin

They have some smaller prospects, but this isn't 2003 anymore. Speed and talent kill. They look small cause theyre all young. They shall grow.

Conn Smyth winner is 5'9.

He does look more like a winger. But I don't hate that. A lot of guys to play center in the pool.

This would be a terrible idea. His compete level is too low. I’m sure Adams won’t give him away, but Olofsson for Quinn is not a path to the playoffs
- lulags

Savoie and/or Kulich for Quinn is more likely

Fantastic, hopefully he keeps developing. Most had him in the 50 to 90 range. MacKenzie only had him as a Honorable Mention. I hope he works out, definitely brings stuff we don't have in the prospect pool

Krebs has no dog in him? Mitts showed some dawg this year. JJ showed some dawg. Let the kids get a bit older before drawing conclusions.

Whole lotta gloves still on. Whole lotta hugging.

IMO a swing for Tom Wilson would be a good get.

Please. Thank you.

Only 1 year left. Shouldnt cost a whole ton.

Well with as many prospects as the Sabres have coming, there not gonna have the time to let some get a bit older. Decisions are gonna have to be made quicker, just to many coming and with having a younger core basically in place.

He's just here to crap on absolutely everything. It's pretty tiresome.

They dont have the time? They have all the time. 7 year window stars this year.

They have time to let there prospects build up and sit there ?

You must not watch playoffs or the Stanley Cup if that's your interpretation

- Buff36

Sit where?

JJ and company will get bigger and older. Guys perform need big contracts you trade them or others. And while all that is happening prospects will enter the lineup.

They'll be in the O they'll be in the W, they'll be in the A. No ones going to be sitting around.
