I hope it does, however history is not our side.

Adams saying he feels bad for the fans because of reporting is rich. Lolz. The Peterka conversation is cringeworthy. The hemming and hawing and executing the plan talk is gross. If you don't want to talk about player situations pre draft then just say that. It's one sentence. One thing I will say is that if the are looking to trade JJP and/or Sammy, saying they want our or there is a buyout option is a good way to tank value. But Adams is basically bad at everything and this conversation didn't protect any trade value.

The Sabres can’t find a second pairing dman to save their lives. I agree though to take the best forward at 9 if it isn’t moved (Adams doesn’t have the balls to pull that off)

Practice. Lots and lots of practice.

I disagree that Samuelsson should be bought out. Where I do agree with you is that the letter should be taken away from him. He never should have been given a letter, just as Eichel should not have been given a letter when he was so young. Samuelsson needs to concentrate on his game and durability. Much of the hostility directed toward him is due to his style of play. Although he is a big fellow, he is not a banger. That's not his game and never will be. But that doesn't mean that he can't be a solid and versatile player for us.

Must be responding to the wild rumor that he knew what he was doing.

Yeah... considering she is now the primary team owner CEO it was probably a good idea to have some involvement.

You made the succinct potent point as to why he shouldn't be dealt. None of us really know what the player wants to do. Is he maneuvering for a gilded long-term contract or is he another disillusioned Sabre player who wants to get the freak out of this toxic waste franchise. Who can criticize someone for desiring a better chance for individual and team success. This is what happens when a franchise becomes known for its generational failure and understandably is not a destination for players not only outside the system but also within it. The organization needs to do everything within reason to keep him.

I love the pessimism on this board! lol

They are going to say how much they "value" each of their players until they move them. I expect a major move or two, possibly someone who is under the radar at the moment.

The Sabres will make the pick, we'll all be unimpressed, except for that one poster, and then we'll hear how they had offers but none of them were "right". The worst AI on the planet could write this story.

The Sabres just need to stop doing press conferences. Prove it or get out. That needs to be this team's motto moving forward.

I get the feeling that this is going to be a typical same o same o for the Sabres. Draft best player available and bring in a lower lever FA and cross your fingers it is going to work. No major changes and typical Shampoo bottle Sabres. Wash, rinse, repeat

I can’t decide if letting Terry or Adams speak is more embarrassing for the franchise at this point? If they ever hold a joint press conference it might be too much for anyone to handle. Probably be hard to make out anything Adams would say though with his lips attached to Terry’s backside the entire time.

I think it comes down to a choice of 3Cs - Martin, McQueen and O’Brien, 3Ds - Smith, Aitcheson, Mrtka and 2Ws - Bear, Eklund. The big 6 Schaefer, Misa, Frondell, Hagens, Desnoyers and Martone should be gone. 7 & 8 will knock off 2 of my guesses. I hope O’Brien and Eklund are gone as the other 6 are good picks for Buffalo imo.

I think it’s a defender (maybe Smith, as he’s a Penn State guy, I think?). We haven’t taken a defender in rd 1 in a while - other than the obvious 1st overall picks of Dahlin and power (Risto before that I believe)

Trump creating domestic terrorism wasn't enough, we need terrorism far and wide wanting to destroy this country. Create more fear to try to grab more power, he tried with ICE and his MAGA ICE impersonators, now he will try with terrorists from overseas. When you forget your history you are doomed to repeat it "Weapons of mass destruction"- Said every republican failure

And Darcy Regier is watching and thinking ‘I’m glad someone else is the scapegoat now and they’ve forgotten about me”

So listening to learn is bad?

76. Tied with Selanne that season.

Impo, since Buffalo has Dahlin, forwards are much more valuable at the top of drafts than defenders. You can find 2nd pairing defenders pretty consistently in late round 1 and in round 2. But, the Sabres are gonna Sabre and there's a good chance in this draft, at 9 you get the 2nd defender taken. It could really pay off but we'll have to see. It's funny that 6'6" mrtka is "omg his size" but there's less of that with 6'4" Smith who skates better.

Don't worry, bombing ppl isn't socialism and neither is giving massive amounts of money to the wealthy... but free school lunch, that's socialism and we should all be afraid. If this country spent even 10% of its bomb budget on supporting its citizens we'd be far safer and far more prosperous overall but hey, let's go to war with Iran because it's 2003 and they have wmd's. Good thing Obama didn't negotiate a deal to keep Iran from building nukes that trump pulled out of because he's the dumbest president in history.

What a load of 💩 I really do believe that Addams thinks he is out thinking the press. The is an absolute hollow vessel. He gets all riled up when someone touches a nerve and his okilly dokilly mask slips just a little more. Clown.

I don't think the "plan" is anything complicated or hard to figure out. They don't take responsibility for the situation they created or try to change it they just take it as a given that players don't want to come there. Thus they stripped it down and started over trying to get players who "wanted to be there" (and there aren't many) so the plan is save the money until it's "needed later" and draft their own players that they have some control over and let the team "grow together" until they have drafted enough talent to win. They think it's that simple and that's the plan. Total faith in the draft and their kids. That's it. That's all. They expected it to happen last year with the addition of Ruff to pull it all together and lead them but that failed so Kev convinced Terry they were close and he just needs another year. They're just slightly behind their schedule and if Dahlin hadn't been injured and/or they didn't have to go to Europe and if Cozens had just been better they'd have been there. I'm sure that was his take (plus a few other excuses no doubt). So, they stay the course, and that is all the "plan" is.

If so many teams are supposedly interested in JJP - isn’t that a sign of a player that the Sabres should keep? Like, seriously, what are we doing here?
