Yes. Sorry. Just trying to be funny

Sabres top 3!!!!

Sam Costatino and myself are in Agreement 1) Powers 2) Beneirs 3) Clarke

Style of those two not that he will be either of those but you can't rule it out either

when was the last time a draft eligible freshman put up 1 point per game, like Beniers did this year? I believe it was Jack Eichel. WIll Beniers ever be a 90point player in NHL? probably not but nothing wrong with being a Bergeron, ROR style #1 Center.

I think he looks every bit the part of being #1 overall you are going to be very disappointed then

at #32 - worth thinking about?

Definitely not advocating for the Sabres to take a goalie with their top 3 pick but it’s interesting that 5 of the 8 goalies left were taken in round 1 another was taken in the 2nd

Im probably really late to this but wasn’t not fixing the goaltending his biggest blunder? Hutton was one of the worst (if not the worst) goalie in the league and he didn’t upgrade.

maybe but we have to admit Matthews has been put in a better situation from Eichel with Supporting cast. I think Marner is a great player but try to find one puck battle he won in the entire 7 game series. As many delay of the game penalties as he has playoff goals...thats damning

now go find this years R2 to add to the roster

There's been a lot of Mason McTavish love lately. Could be a bit of a surprise pick at 3.

Does Guenther's u18s, give you any pause?

whos are you picking, assuming Sabres draft 3 and Powers and Beneirs are gone? Im firmly on the Brandt Clarke train. RHD mobile, intelligent, offensive upside.

I wonder if the continual imploding of McDavid and Matthews makes it easier for him to swallow being a Sabre?

Do we know for sure that the rest that all the doctors agreed upon wasn’t successful?

Mathews for Eichel and Eakin. no way I want anything to do with the Marner contract

Sign me up. Sabres draft ranking 1) Powers 2) Beniers 3) Clarke Beniers and Powers go back to Michigan. You sign them after the season. hopefully they become eligible to get a few NHL games and join Roch for playoffs (this might be impossible, I can’t remember the rules ) clarke is interesting. Already played pro hockey during covid. Don’t think the OHL playing against 16 year olds makes sense. Maybe goes back to Europe?

I’m sold. I think there is now 90% chance he goes #1 whatever team is in that spot still love Beniers BUT I’ve been very impressed with Powers.

the goaltender isn’t half bad either

I guess we will wait and see. is there anyone who’s actually watched a minute of them play that is impressed ??

I think Buffalo has a chance of finishing higher than them. Now Matthews and Marner are strong regular season players. Tavares at 31 will be a very good #2c with Nylander but what about the rest of the team this is a team that plays bogo consistently and a lot of their depth is at the tail end (or end) of their careers and they can’t afford to replace them in the UFA market. Now if Eichel and Samson are traded for talent that is a 1 or 2 away , then it’s a different conversation

i would bet that the Leafs get Swept vs TB, Bos and the Avalanche A fully healthy Sabres line-up puts up a better fight than MTL.

Sure they have Matthews, Marner (disappearing act once again), Nylander and Tavares. I like Hyman but their D is poor, Campbell - who knows how good he is and they rely a lot on players over 35 years of age, who aren;t going to improve. I think Winnipeg beats them, if they do get to the Semi's they will get swept

im guessing you are basing this off the zero minutes that you have watched of them? They would be in tough against any other playoff team outside the North. They wouldnt be in the playoffs in the East.
