Button has us taking Oliver Moore.
Not familiar with that name; personally.

13th is a decent area for a bunch of talent.

I’d be more than happy with Sandin Pellikka.
We need a bit more two way. I agree with Crusader on Timashev and Willander. -
Sign him!

Toronto being swept would be a beautiful thing.

It really depends on the term; I wouldn't give him more than a year. However; I'm not that interested.

Congrats Owen, it's a nice accolade. You showed that you're here to stay! Regardless of the outcome, we're happy to have you.

This is terrible, for anyone to go through. Sorry to the Pegula family. Prayers are with you. I was vocal about her as a detractor when she was the "Team President." But, nothing short of support for this tragic situation. I feel for Terry and their children.

I think I’m in love Came across this report while doing some digging into the Swedish prospects in the U18 finals
15. Dimitri Simashev
In my opinion, Simashev is quite possibly the best defenceman in this draft, and by far the best defensive player. I pushed for him to be higher than this, but I’m accepting 15. He’s fluid on his skates, and very mobile, especially for a guy his size. He shuts down plays before they start; he reads and anticipates play very well, stepping up in the neutral zone with perfect timing to prevent entries without taking himself out of the play. He uses his size effectively and protects the puck really well, extending his long reach and using his free arm to shield off pressure. He’s not the most physical yet, but I think that’ll come when it’s necessary, he doesn’t really need to be right now, and he won’t take himself out of the play to throw a pointless hit. But don’t underestimate his offence either, there’s a lot more potential there than he gets credit for. If he has the puck, good luck getting it away from him; he controls the puck exceptionally well and adapts to pressure instantly, weaving through defences in transition and making it look easy. He’s a breakout wizard, great at escaping pressure with the puck, recovering it along the boards and combining his skating and puck protection to evade incoming pressure; he sniffs out contested pucks and turns them into offensive rushes in an instant. The stats still don’t suggest a very offensively skilled defenceman, but then you’ll watch him pull off like five insane plays in one shift that no other defenceman in this draft does, and you start to really see the potential that he has. To me, his upside is some of the highest in this draft, and I really believe that he can be a good #1 defenceman in the NHL some day. (Gray Matter)
Sounds great, off to watch video on him. Is he a righty?

Wilson has been a bit of a dud due to injuries the past few seasons. He's getting to that age, where he's going to slowly fall off a cliff.

Atlanta doesn't deserve a third chance for a franchise. Sorry. I just don't understand this.

So what are Sabrespacer’s thoughts on the team?
What is overall grade for the season? B+
What grade would you give Adams and Granato (including his staff)? Adams - B- / Granato A-
What grade would you give the Forwards, the Defense and the Goaltenders? A for the forwards / A- for the defensemen / C for the goaltending
What grade would you give the Power Play and the Penalty Kill? Powerplay - B+ / PK - C
Who is your MVP? Rasmus Dahlin
Who is your ROY? Owen Power
Who is your MIP (most improved player)? Casey Mittelstadt
Who is your unsung hero? Alex Tuch

After thinking about it, I think he could return something, and clear up a roster spot. So in terms of what we can get, we'll see.

If there is a trade that makes sense, then make it, otherwise, he fills a role. I have no issue with him. He has his warts, but every team has hollow offensive players. I mean look at Zegras. He has no fundamental defensive upside, he's all high octane offense.
-
The one thing about Casey, was always his health and staying on the ice. This year he provided that and towards the later fourth of the season, really found his game. he's showing tenacity and I really like him as a third line center. He plays up with better paired linemates too. So there's something here. Always loved his personality and engagement in pressers, but always wanted to see more. He's a Sabre.

He's been better as of late, but I'm still underwhelmed.

Dahlin was magnificent once again. Sorry Makar, you're second rate, mate.

- These are priceless. Wow! I love it every time.

Cool, welcome.

Karlsson isn’t just ahead of Dahlin in points, he’s even ahead of Thompson. Frankly a remarkable season and he deserves the Norris regardless of the rest
no issue giving him props at this point
Totally agree with you. Considering this is the first time in almost 3 seasons that Erik looks like himself again. Doing that on a terrible team, where often most nights he's carrying them is so damn impressive. He's a world class athlete. He deserves the Norris and should get Ted Lindsay votes.
That being said, I still prefer Dahlin's overall game. His tenacity, and his physicality have shown up this year. He's got snarl, and we need that in the worst way.

He's been completely useless and underwhelming. It might take longer for him to adjust into this system, but to be completely honest to me it doesn't look good. Major overpay.

He was an overpayment at the deadline, and he's done nothing thus far. I have no issues with the physicality, but I just don't see it. I'll just hold my cards for now.

Was not really digging the lines. The Tuch and Samuelsson injuries were so detrimental to this team. I also don't really like what I've seen thus far out of Greenway, but it's early.

Closer than the score showed. The Sabres were all over Edmonton in the second period. It sucks that you lose, however they will be hungry tomorrow.
Go Amerks!

Yeah he's putting on a show; and this is a nice asset to have. Someone they could let marinate. The actual draft/development model is working.
