I think we can go way wrong picking Power. I see Jack Johnson not Victor Hedman. He just looks like a kid that is ahead of his peers physically and stands out because of it. See Jack Johnson. If the Sabres get him, I’m hoping for the best but the highly skilled forwards all projected to be top 5 picks look the part.

The lack of discussion about the addition of Venture is disappointing. I get that adding a stats nerd isn’t very sexy but this move has me like: Buffalo media is like:

Maybe the numbers say otherwise but I feel like Jack is good to great on the PP.

Why not just use that term?

If they can make the playoffs and draft another top 6 forward or dman, great. Maybe Ventura will be the guy who can do that.

What is a #1 pick?

I’m glad you finished this the way you did. I just can’t relive the shoulda, coulda, woulda, life.

Which would kinda be the best outcome. God I need this team to win now but if they can compete and grow as a team and still grab a sure fire top line center, I’ll have a hard time saying no.

There isn’t enough space, time or energy for me to detail my loathe of all things fireworks. Yes I have a dog. No I’m not one of those people who incessantly rambles on about fireworks and pets. She’s used to me stumbling around the house enough to expect loud jolting sounds of pain, anger and regret.

Great. Next year is significantly better than this years draft class.

You aren’t making light. I’d be surprised if it wasn’t just idiots being careless with fireworks.

I’m guessing the Associated Press isn’t going to publish something so insensitive and flippant. Doesn’t change anything

$$$$$$$$$$$$ Jack Eichel won’t put on a Sabres sweater again

This board showing its age and lameness with a nice inability to use the inter webs.

I’m still hoping Power isn’t their guy, they trade out of first overall, pick up additional assets and grab their guys wherever they land.

Since it’s going to take a couple years for that, he’ll need to put something on the ice the fans want or he’ll be out of a job.

He’s aware. He’s mentioned it several times. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t bring in some fan favorite types to fill out the roster. High energy, physical players that this fanbase covets. It’s pretty simple, ice a team that plays hard and is exciting to watch, the fans will come back. It’s going to take time to heal the wounds but I get the feeling he knows what the fans want.

Then the Sabres have been going way out of their way with the whole “we want players that wanna be here schtick” for Reinhart and Risto? Seems unlikely. Kevyn Adams has been buttering up this fan base for the inevitable Eichel trade his the end of the season.

That’s something people say at work when they haven’t done a thing. Working toward a resolution? Aren’t we all.

No one is going to make him anything he isn’t. He just has the unfortunate timing of playing with possibly the fastest dman of his generation.

I do believe this is called the “New Buffalo Sabres Head Coach Don Granato” press conference. As for the subject itself, I think everything is at a standstill until Jack gets moved.

For the love of God, when is someone going to ask him about Meatballs?!?

Veiled shot at Jack?
