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

Speaking of Perfect Power Partners

And they already dented the Cup..Oops

If it’s Firkus, Owen Beck or Del Bel Belluz, I would consider Beck for the 2 way Center Capability

It happens all the time and Kane and Eichel have the same agent in Pat Brisson, so we know that Adams has Him on Speed Dial. And it can be something as innocuous as Hey Pat, We maybe looking next Summer for a RW in His 30’s with playoff experience who wants to help the Sabres get to the over the hump, if you have anyone in mind for the 2023-24 Season let us know when the time is right. Also Kane can reach out through Brisson, who can tell the Sabres, Kane would be interested in discussing something with Buffalo when the timing is right. It’s tampering without contract parameters being discussed.

Already having two smallish forwards in the Prospect Pool in Rosen and Kisakov I would be hesitant about adding a third. And I’m a big fan of Rosen, Kisakov and Firkus.

One more year in Rochester for UPL in tandem with Subban would be a the smart play

As a huge Star Wars Fan I can verify this, did both rides in May

I believe a few players might be interested in waiving their NTC, NMC if they are guaranteed the Starters Net for a season or two. Varlamov comes to mind as well. With UPL being waiver eligible next season, I would take full advantage and grab Comrie as a backup option.

This is one of the reasons I’ll probably never move out of NY

He missed 5 games in 18-19, compared to only one in 19-20 and His PPG was higher(barely) in 19-20

2019-20

I love the heat, it’s the reward for 6 months of winter. Having a pool, beer and AC helps though
