Look, we are going to see list after list put Frondell in the top 8 and I get it. He isn't my cup of tea. I see a player that relies a lot on others (coughEklundcough) to create the havoc needed for Frondell to do his thing. He can win battles and has nice checking skills, he's engaged, his shot is probably 4th in this class, maybe 3rd. (Misa, Carbonneau, Lakovic/Frondell) but I just want a bit more from him. There is a lack of creativity with Frondell that worries me and I don't want lesser JJ Peterka. I would rather gamble on Carbonneau or Eklund than take Frondell is the point. I hope he goes ahead of Buffalo's pick and pushes someone else lower (Desnoyers maybe Hagens) Right now I think the top 6 players taken will be Schaefer, Misa, Martone, Hagens, Desnoyers, and Frondell.

Let's talk about Jack Nesbitt. He's a 6'4" center with some physicality and some good hands. He lacks pace, I don't find his shot particularly interesting, his overall skating is fine-ish. Really with Nesbitt you have the profile of a guy we typically see drafted late in the first round: Big center with good hands that has some flaws. At 12, I think that is very much a reach for him. For example Bear is a better skater, has the same or better defensive game, has a better shot, similar skating, but more checking/energy. Why would I take Nesbitt? Kashawn Aitcheson, the 6'1" LHD. Now this ranking is actually more probable. To some degree he is the Carter Bear of defenders. Constantly engaged, scouts literally wont shutup about how he is always moving and engaging and making plays all over the ice. That's a good thing though. There is a very real chance that Aitcheson is the 2nd defender taken in this draft as teams will love how he plays. I question some of his decision making on offense from what I have watched but he's really solid in the defensive zone. If Buffalo drafted 9th and took him, I wouldn't bat much of an eye. He's got good skating, maybe great in time, and he's physical in his own end with lots of battle and energy. Interesting player that if he is 6'2" at the combine, I could see him jump a spot or two on some boards because teams covet bigger defenders.

You know what pisses me off, none of our media have the balls to ask flat out why kevyn adams thinks he deserves to be back with how awful the team has been under his 5yr rule.

Meanwhile... Terry Pegula:

Announced on the socials media.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is a bootlicker. https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/16/politics/town-halls-congress-tempers-flare/index.html

It is totally unacceptable. Adams has repeatedly and continuously dragged his feet, shown favoritism, made bad contract choices, and blatantly refused to improve the very obvious issues with the roster. Marty Wilford is clearly not good enough. Seth Appert's powerplay is trash. Running this back is like if the Titanic had crashed into the ice berg, then circled around to hit it again.

Might as well.

Sorry I am just so f-ing tired of reading the nonsense that everyone who leaves Buffalo is better. No, the ones who "look better" were good here but now aren't on the Titanic. The ones like Zemgus are the ***** same mediocre players they always were. Buffalo's issue is they can't tell the f-ing difference between the Reinhart's of their roster and the Zemgus'

Does it matter? What, are we gonna miss the playoffs for 10yrs in a row? Woopity doo

Please, tell me what better options are there for Rasmus Dahlin or Tage Thompson for that matter.

They think they're close. Adams has totally lost the plot and any objectivity. He's a dolt who can't see the forest through the trees.

The teams totally incompetent. Not even an attempt or process in place to evaluating what happened this season.

Musk and DOGE sent letters to all non profits receiving federal funding demanding access. Where are you conservatives? I thought you wanted small government? This is rapidly turning into a surveillance state.

Anaheim plays the Jets tonight. Pittsburgh plays Washington tomorrow. We play Philadelphia tomorrow. Note if Philly loses, they'll drop to 4th, so I'm gonna guess they won't be motivated.

Anaheim got 1pt last night and Seattle lost. Buffalo is now locked into drafting either 6, 7, 8, or 9th. I think we have the tiebreaker over Anaheim as we have more regulation wins. If we lose to Philly we draft 6th. If we beat Philly we draft 7-9 depending on Pittsburgh and Anaheim's final games.

1 2 3 We want 4!!!! Wait... am I doing this wrong?

Can't get

But her emails

Power is so far below what Dahlin was at the same age.

The Bryson signing is damning and shows Adams utter incompetence.

Really? is that because you want to believe it isn't serious? It is smack dab the opposite of what has and continues to emanate from the White House.

Isak Rosen has been recalled according to reports on the internet.
