Scouting season officially kicks off with the Hlinka in August. Here's a look at the early list of players to keep an eye. Note: if you don't care about the draft, just leave it be. While 2024 was the year of defense, 2025 is forwards.

What about trading for Mcgroarty? Idk how much it helps now but he's different than savoue, Rosen, Östlund

You'll hate this, but you draft well. Have a good locker room culture.

I'd give Pavelski as much money as I could for 1 year. He's a pros pro. Win.

What if we call Joe Pavelski and say look dude, we'll give you 9 million for 1 year and I'll trade you to a contender with 50% retained if we're not in a playoff spot.

You know how happy I'd be to be wrong on him? Like feed me all the crow if he's even a legit backup.

the interesting part is that njd had Helenius as their #2 guy left by pick 10.

I think unless Adams makes a trade, Ruff is one beer short of a round.

My favorite is "skates well for his size" ... so his skating sucks but he's tall, cool.

Kleber def had questions about his puck handling. Harrison Brunicke, 6'3" rhd when 2 picks later and I think he's better. That said, you can't teach size. Ziemer fixes his skating a bit and he's got 3rd line 40pt guy written all over him. I loved what I saw of him while watching Stigga. Love the updates. Please keep them coming. Helenius shot was probably his biggest weakness in his draft year. It's not bad, but needs more zip.

Wonder if you could dig Nicolas Roy out of Vegas? He's a big center that's a perfect #3 with some #2 injury coverage and signed for 3 more years. Ik they will ltir Lehner to fix their cap overage but I wonder if they'd take a 1st and Rosen for someone like that to give them some flexibility. I'm spitballing here so don't think it is something that's realistic. Just trying to creatively find solutions.

I think the only way we make the playoffs is if 1 of Kulich, Savoie, or Helenius manages to produce offensively and defensively at the Benson rookie rate.

Jason Karmanos has 25 years of front office experience and multiple cups.

Hamilton was very complimentary of Helenius' skill and compete in dev camp. Said he had stood out the most. Reminded him of Benson last year.

Idc. I know what's on the Rochester page is incorrect so I used correct information. Here's the Sabres training camp roster from 2023. Rosen is 6' and Kulich is 6'1" which is reflected everywhere else. https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/buffalo-sabres-announce-2023-training-camp-roster-tage-thompson-zach-benson-jeff-skinner-devon-levi

Pretty sure we have immunity now to post anything anywhere

Yes. Kevyn Adams has never once traded picks and prospects for a top 6 player. He's a failure at it.

I'm sorry, no. Rogue One is a fantastic war movie dealing with sacrifice for the greater good. The forces awakens is fan service

Nov 4, 2021 was the Eichel trade

Haha we're so f'd

Meanwhile in Detroit

Yup, exactly this.
