Do you want an NHL player in 2024 or do you want a 3rd round pick that might be an nhl player in 2028/9 is the question and if Buffalo is having that conversation my faith in them is in question. It's like the Leinonen pick, not good.

I agree. At 13/14 you are getting a player 2-4 years away from an nhl debut. Reinbacher I might be willing to wait on but really we need to go outside of the draft and Buffalo to acquire defense help. 13/14 overall is a big piece and we'd still have 2 2nds to add talent.

I'd bet money on Anderson starting. I think Buffalo wins too.

I have no room on my team for UPL.

NHL.com sorry if that isn't an acceptable source.

And blocked permanently. You don't really contribute much to the board so it isn't a loss. At least Perrault, who I disagree with, has ideas. You are just an empty shell incapable of anything more. Fair thee well Lazy Weave, fair thee well.

This is lazy. Very lazy. GAA went from 3.29 to 3.44 which means Buffalo went from a tie for 6th worst to a tie for... 5th worst wow. SV% went from .894% to .890% which is going from 27th UP to 25th. What other D metrics you got? I listed them when you wouldn't. You just say they are bad with no context or even showing us the numbers.

Lazy? I am asking you to look at a ***** trade list and say which ones you felt buffalo should have done. Why don't you contribute more useful discourse to this forum instead of this crap.

6th or 7th round pick if they want to add a goalie. Same goes for Suchanek if they wanted to draft him (I think he is eligible again). Most likely both go undrafted again.

It is not 2 separate questions. Should Adams bring in a legit #1 goalie like Saros or not?

And you should have known better than to post not 1 but 2 separate things yesterday jinxing the team but here we are. Scoring is up league wide this year so really we are just about the same.

Please let us know what trade was executed between Dec 15 and Feb 15 that you felt the Sabres should have not only been in on but 100% made sure they executed to improve the team. Again what move can you point to that occurred in that 2 month window when Adams supposedly should have made a move? Any move you want to through out there that you feel would have improved the team but Adams didn't do it?

I dont think so.

Unless you are the one seed. And no, I don't think your reasoning here adds up. It is having even a reasonable chance of winning a playoff round and with the injuries this team is playing under, the fatigue of going 100% for months on end (Granato talked about how the good teams conserve energy in Oct, Nov, Dec.), and the mental fatigue of finally realizing what you can do, this team wasn't going anywhere else. Boston is a juggernaut, we can accept that and still wish to have played them while also not wanting to sacrifice stuff in season to get that chance. As you say, nuance.

I don't think this draft is particularly deep. I think it is average in terms of depth and in terms of defensive depth, I would say it is slightly below average. Depth in a draft is defined by not only talent dropoffs but by how many NHL players there are in it. Most draft have about 55-65 NHL players. Even if you get lucky enough that Reinbacher slides to 13 (I doubt this) you still have 2 years to wait on him, maybe 1 and then his rookie year. If I can package Olofsson and the 2023 1st for a 24ish yr old RHD, that fits in the top 4, I make that trade without a 2nd thought.

You are a paradox wrapped in an enigma wrapped in shadows inside of Schrödinger's cat. You thought the team would finish bottom 4. When they didn't you wanted Adams to "go all in" in order to what?

No they weren't. They were almost exactly what everyone expected on this forum and I am fairly certain in the front office. The only ppl who thought we would be significantly worse were the national media who also thought "waste money on bad ufa's" Detroit would be a playoff team. This team just played single elimination playoff hockey for the last two weeks.

27 ppl predicted around 90pts and the playoff bubble. 23 more predicted 80-90pts. "No one knew" is bs.

I like Levi. Just asking

Haha going through the predictions thread and you said....

Receipts!

Buffalo is likely to draft between 12 and 15 with 13/14 being the most probable options. My bets on 13th

I'd trade the pick for defensive help at the draft.

You predicted this team to finish bottom 4 in the league.
