I have a draft dream as well

I don't think his type understands things to the level of obsessive fans like us nut jobs on here.

If there was a ROTFL emoji I'd have used it

When they stop hiring Midwestern gold chain wearing, everything handed to them in life weirdos, it'll be a start.

I'm guessing you want him to stay, which is understandable. The metrics with him, Pilut and Dahlin interest me. As they don't always match what I see on the ice. I barely care about the Sabres, I sure as hell can't muster the strength to pay attention to another one of these good awful teams.

All Risto had to do was clear it along the boards as he usually does. Instead he passes right into the middle on to a Red Wings stick. Amazing.

I really wanted to see Casey on Jack's wing but our derth of centers really exasperated the issue. Or even centering Reinhart & Skinner. After the Midway point where Skinner fell off a cliff, what would it have hurt?

Looks like ol Surfsie (short for surf & turf) got drafted

Bummer

If it's consensual obviously.

We need players who don't have to assess a situation to jump and and wreak havoc. I see bad things = I do bad things. Not all this, I didn't see the hit or understand the situation nonsense. It's not teachable, so find these guys. No offense to Will Borgen but he alone isn't going to be enough. They need 5 of these guys. Please somehow read this JBot.

If they fire Housley, trade Risto for a #2 center, move out Scandella, Larsson, Girgensons and Sobotka, bring in an actual NHL starting goalie and draft a top 5 player; I think the board will be teeming with excitement. Throw in a couple rugged wingers that aren't anemic offensively and maybe we're onto something. For the last time ?

The NHL is about 20 years behind other leagues in terms of upgrading their officiating, minus the NFL I suppose. So expect the officiating to become palatable around 2040.

This team desperately needs a player like him in their lineup. Kids got moxie. Give me a half dozen of those.

Let's check on Will (he's number 3)

Bless your heart

Kakko's talent is undeniable. If somehow the Sabres get to #2, they have to take him. They will have to address #2 center through free agency or trade.

As much as it pains me to worsen their draft position, giving the fans a nice send off was needed. We've been through a hell of a season. Pommers deserved the standing O, it was great he was able to score to allow for it.

Has he had the time to work on his conditioning? I'm guessing he started right after the draft but that would have only given him a few months to work on it. This off-season should give him plenty of time to work on it. Look at Nylander and Reinhart. They went from pre-draft waifs to jacked. It took a little time. I expect Casey to follow suit. I've heard only good things about his work ethic so far.

I'd love to read a book from Murray about his time as GM. It'd be a hell of a read and probably make most Sabres fans questions everything.

Let's check in on the ol Tager

What's this look you are referencing? ?

That'd be a great level of intuition and probably symptomatic of a solid career. Are you agreeing Mitts shouldn't have been sent down or are you just interpolating the tea leaves the org has laid out for us to read?

I could get used to seeing this
