Adams mentioned Tyson Kozak twice, once this AM with Howard Simon and then with Paul Hamilton. With the latter Adams mentioned that Kozak made strides and would be eligible for Rochester based on His Age if He signs an ELC. I think one more year in Portland would be better though. Also Adams is meeting with CAA to discuss Ryan Johnson, who has confirmed He will be at Dev Camp

Adams mentioned when asked by Paul Hamilton if the Russian Players were a no go because of possible passport issues. He said it’s a consideration, but if the talent is too good to pass up, they would be strongly considered and probably selected.

Interestingly Adams mentioned during His Interview with Paul Hamilton that Kisakov reached out to the Sabres about signing with Buffalo. He is going to try to be here from Dev Camp, but should definitely be here for TC

For now it’s the only time a team wearing Sabres Jerseys can destroy a team in Boston Jerseys

The Sabres Annual Prospect Challenge in September maybe expanding by two teams, Ottawa and Montreal. Pittsburgh back in?

This is the only reason I’m hesitant to move 28 for Kane

McGroaty at 27 is interesting

The full list

Adams mentioned they have an offer to Anderson to come back, but in more of a backup role. They are in multiple conversations for possible trades for goalies and are exploring the UFA Market

Adams mentioned on WGR they have had discussions with teams about moving up or down in draft order depending on how things fall

Adams also said that moves involving prospects or draft picks will only happen if they make sense for the team in the long term.

They were talking about His shot tipping ability being Pavelski Like, that would be a huge benefit as a PP Net Front Capability

Here is the goal.

Another game, another Nadeau Goal

They also mentioned that Adams only has two drafts so it’s hard to pin down The Sabres Draft Strategy, but that they seem to gravitate to players with high skill sets so far. Adams is holding a pre draft press conference on Thursday, so it will be interesting to see what comes or more likely does not come from it

It will be from the Draft Board that the Front Office puts together, Lysowski made it sound like positions wouldn’t matter

Cap Friendly has McCabe as LD/RD I’m not sure how much He played on the Right Side in Chicago if at all. If Adams sticks with BPA, that’s a huge possibility.

Lance Lysowski on the Maintenance Day Podcast this AM said that He spoke to Kevyn Adams and He mentioned they will be drafting BPA.

His Wife is from and they live during offseason in Chicago, it was an easy decision for Him. If Chicago wants to move Him and Buffalo isn’t on His M NTC, I would consider it
