Two or less

I am not in his boat but i understand where he's coming from. We all know people who have said what he said and left this organization in the dust. It's not just one game, you're missing the whole picture. It's 14-15 years of the same. They are a soulless organization, very poorly run, have no identity. Im sticking around, probably because im a sucker, because they are not turning it around with this team, these coaches and this front office. No chance. No way. Only way to think so is if you live under a rock. And im not saying this because of one game. I've said this all summer when they decided to keep Adams and the coaches.

Who would you have gotten?

Who else would you want? Their #1 Luukkonen is on the IR.

Me too. Lol my bad. I am committed to my team though. Best of luck to everyone!

If only he can stay healthy. To me, he was our best player in pre-season. On both ends.

Those usually end up the best drafts because you just let it rip and not over think your selections. lol

30 minutes before the draft.

It's preseason, lets relax. lol

To me, it's hard to even get too excited about players like them because it just feels like we are wasting their careers. We have always dreamed to have players such as Jack, Sam, Ras and Tage play for the Sabres. Two of them have Cups, and their best seasons elsewhere. It just seems like Dahlin and Tage are also headed that way.

What ?

It has to be Luukkonen. If he can get his 2023/24 second half season form, the Sabres should be in a good position to seriously compete for a playoff spot. I think that's the easiest path for the Sabres to make a push. They are a pretty solid EV team, have a good defense (on paper) and can score on most nights. Goaltending holds them back. Not what you asked but besides Luukkonen i think fixing the PP is next important. Lastly, my dark horse for this season is Jack Quinn. Think he's primed for a big season.

I remember hearing Paul Hamilton talk about Housley a few years back on WGR and he said Housley played like 20 games as a center, fwiw.

If this is true, and Pegula hasn't been able to get any tips from him that his hockey club could use some changes, i highly doubt after winning 2 Stanley Cup's Zito would become interested helping out.

Wasn't this a point of emphasis last summer too? Guys were saying they must be in top shape because it'll no longer be Donny's camp, but Lindy's and then later in the season we heard all about how players came in not in the best "game shape". What makes anyone think this year will be any different?
