We are doing Amerks games again when this kid hits the A.

4th round, #116 -- acquired for RHD Lyubushkin -- perfect pick to add another RHD.

Solid pick, I show him ranked at 71, picked at 71. Seems destined to a bottom pair role, with little to no offensive ability, which is fine for a 3rd rounder

5 years from now

Trading into the Sabres slot is still considered moving up, no? 😉

OK, well he identified the need and is getting as many resources as possible to ensure at least a few pan out. I can't complain about it.

Wait. He was playing with Karlsson in Pittsburgh? We didn't just now find our 3rd pairing D-man; we might've found our top pairing D-man. Yikes!!!

Kettles who went at 39 is also a big rhd, 6'5.5" 195lbs. EP ranked him 59th and Bedkowski 47th

I mean, I'm sure that some pick somewhere 39 and above will be a successful player, and there probably will even be a star or two in that range. But if someone wants to hold onto pick #39 over using that pick for an established player, I want that someone at my poker table.

But it's only a net of 3 as Clifton went out the door. So, they'll need at least one coming back for Byram to truly get to the quota.

Interestingly they took Bedkowski with 71 and Kettles went at 39. You could flip those picks and it would still make sense in this draft. I don't think we missed out on anything.

Hmm, any teams that have their eye on a large RHD in this draft now have a simple logic tree to follow on deciding whether to move up or not? Are the Sabres drafting ahead of us?

This was before the Clifton trade, $3.3M for Clifton to $1.1M for Timmins cleared up that extra little bit Banished forever

He was ranked 3rd for best shutdown defender and was ranked 2nd behind only Brady Martin for hardest hitters according EPs draft guide.

Doesn't THAT go without saying. Just sayin'. 😉

I'd call it equivalent to your constant use of "MAGA scum" every time you get triggered.

Ok. Hope he makes it someday. Bedkowski sounds like a Buffalo guy.

Gibson hasn't been good for several years, stop wanting to trade for has beens

Yet you're perfectly fine with him telling me to stay on a different forum with people who don't think? Shame on you. You're a moderator, do better.

Obviously, the exception proves the rule.

Good to see the anger. If he makes it, expect a 6-7-8 guy. But... how many times does a team have a guy who shoots right play on the left side? Because in 3 years, as ELCs are in play, Rochester is going to have about 5 right-shot guys vying for playing time. Or -- instead of handing out 2nd round picks for 4th liners -- Adams can just throw in a RHD.

I sure hope so.

He can't develop fast enough for the Sabres.
