    He’s going to be a UFA with 32 NHL teams to choose from.  There are a million reasons why a UFA would choose one of the other 31 teams.

    I can’t speak for the other pessimists, and I don’t think this means the franchise is doomed, but I don’t see how anyone could interpret this as anything other than the Sabres probably losing a very good prospect.  No more, no less.  

    Agreed. Plus, take a look behind at Levi. He knows his road is tougher here than somewhere else.

    And for your first trick you get to draw into the lineup against Barkov Huberdeau and the rest of the East leading Florida Panthers.  No problem.  Go get’m tiger.

    He's not playing tonight that would be absurd. Either Tampa Sunday or Toronto next. Not that either offer an easier first game.

    I don’t think that is the general consensus opinion.

    Wright is pacing for 20 more points in his draft year than Reinhart did. And that is in the OHL, regarded as slightly tougher than the WHL. And that is also after a year off because of Covid. Wright was given exceptional status, When he was 15, I think he is the more regarded prospect than Reinhart was.

    Looks like I had that wrong, thanks for the info

    i thought I detected something from Adams in his no comment to Marek this morning.

    Disappointing, but organizationally it works to sign Portillo this year and Devon next.

    Unfortunate we will have to listen to the Chicken Littles bleat another year about him bolting.

    It's disappointing IMO because it just wastes a year of his development and prolongs his arrival. College hockey offers nothing to his pro future

    I think @WildCard meant that Gilmore is suited to a man-to-man defense and the Bills' defense is a zone sort of thing.

    Yeah, I don't think he's a scheme or culture fit ultimately. Even if you wanna ignore the history it's whatever but he really just doesn't play out system and we can find something cheaper.
