Yes there is. They could build a team that wins.

Adams said they build through the draft... so again his words fail to match his actions. If he builds through the draft, why the hell isn't the draft a major major focus for him?

No one wants Iran to have nukes, we're just skeptical that stealth bombers is gonna solve the problem.

Trump is quite literally the reason Iran has a nuclear program.

January makes some sense but the rest doesn't. That said, I think Forton basically drives the draft bus and Adams just regurgitates what he's told about players. Also Adams has access to prospects video in shift by shift mode with AI tracked fancy stats. He's got a lot easier job keeping up with them if he wanted but... he's not good at his job.

Tbh, I'm not opposed to them taking a defender. I just think in this specific draft, you'll have opportunities in round 2 to do just that.

Impo, since Buffalo has Dahlin, forwards are much more valuable at the top of drafts than defenders. You can find 2nd pairing defenders pretty consistently in late round 1 and in round 2. But, the Sabres are gonna Sabre and there's a good chance in this draft, at 9 you get the 2nd defender taken. It could really pay off but we'll have to see. It's funny that 6'6" mrtka is "omg his size" but there's less of that with 6'4" Smith who skates better.

Don't worry, bombing ppl isn't socialism and neither is giving massive amounts of money to the wealthy... but free school lunch, that's socialism and we should all be afraid. If this country spent even 10% of its bomb budget on supporting its citizens we'd be far safer and far more prosperous overall but hey, let's go to war with Iran because it's 2003 and they have wmd's. Good thing Obama didn't negotiate a deal to keep Iran from building nukes that trump pulled out of because he's the dumbest president in history.

Dude openly admits he didn't try to improve the team for years because "build through drafts"

And nice guys, finish last.

"Open to [moving the pick] more than maybe I've been in past years," Adams said. "I think we had to really kind of try to build this organization up the appropriate way. And I do believe in building through the draft and developing players and making sure you have depth in your organization, which I think we've done a really solid job of. …" "But I don't think you want to go into it saying, 'Hey, I'm just moving this pick, no matter what.' These are valuable picks, but you're open to everything. And trust me, the League knows that I'm absolutely open to moving [No. 9] if it's the right deal for us."

I like Smith. His skating is very good and he's a big boy with the ability to smother ppl. 6'4" and 199lbs. With a May bday.

Actually, if you pressed me, I think Aitcheson is ranked higher on the Sabres board. Aitcheson is 6'1.5" and 199lbs

I think if Jackson Smith is there at 9 they might take him.

Strbak, Kleber, McCarthy, Komarov, are all rhds with shutdown styles with size. They've drafted quite a few rhds with some size lately.

Adams mentioned rhd depth specifically when asked about draft stuff and org depth.

Remember that time trump left the Iran nuclear deal that was keeping them from having nuclear weapons? Pepperidge farms remembers

6 days. Tiktok mofo

Kevyn had a comment in there about changing from acquiring picks and prospects to getting nhl players as he believes they've built up the org depth now. Dudes totally incapable of having 2 thoughts at once.

Omg, hell froze over!

Should note also Adams very defiantly said the rumors out there were all nonsense before he mentioned Samuelsson specifically

It's very possible. His 2nd assist numbers are also something to note. He got .8a1 and had 1.0a2 per 60min. Zach Benson had the same a1 but only had .2a2 I'm not convinced that Peterka is a 30g, 50a player. Idk, it's a tough call because you have to be right.

I'll find the video but we can put all the nonsense in here. highlights: Non answer on Peterka asking out They've never considered buying out Samuelsson Official said all assistants are back Tuch is a priority 9 is in play but also they might use it Idk, I probably missed something
