‘Sabres fans are authentic. I might talk to an older fan, and the conversation always comes back to the fact that they have loved this team since the ’80s or since the franchise started. No matter what happened in a game the night before, the conversation always ends on a positive note.’

‘The Sabres began the night with the seventh-best odds to win the No. 1 pick at 6.5 percent. The placeholder that won the lottery had the 12-best odds at 2.5 percent.’

‘”As we build our scouting department, [we want to] sync up our scouting and analytics to become seamless and work together,” Adams said. “There’s a process that we want to go through in our scouting – both from the amateur and the professional side – of how we measure players, where we see value, what certain traits are we measuring, and at what level. That, from the analytics and the scouting, will be combined into how we ultimately move forward.”‘
