I'm not going to crap on this kid. I'm going to root for him.
But part of "thou shalt not block young talent" includes not putting the young talent behind blocks to begin with! Benson is behind about 10 other young guys. I suppose the Sabres can trade one or two of them now.
1:10 left and they're all still sitting down...
Here they go. So no trade. So no Richards.
Well, Taro, you've got your man, and the Sabres now have like fifty-eight young forwards.
Ha. The supply is fairly deep. There are defensemen and goalies to be had in trade before approximately 930-10pm today, and there even are a couple of defensemen that will be available on Saturday.
Well, there's more than one way to skin a cat, right, but Vegas certainly has shown that one way is ruthlessly managing assets without regard for loyalty.
I was just listening to pre-draft coverage on WGR, and whoever it was who was talking (didn't get his name in my 15 minutes in the car) thinks that Adams sees 13OA, even by itself, as too heavy a price for Hellebyuck. I think that's crazy.
