Scott Wheeler came out with his top 50 this morning: https://theathletic.com/3415068/2022/07/25/nhl-prospects-rankings/
1. Power
9. Savoie
36. Quinn
40. Krebs
Surprisingly JJP didn't make the cut.
Wow Quinn seems to be ranked criminally low here. Surprised by how high Savoie is ranked.

Any ranking of prospects here is fundamentally dishonest.
This can’t be the term you were intending. How is someone’s ranking of prospects ‘fundamentally dishonest’?

This is a good point. Krebs was not a goal scorer going all the way back to u18 AAA so we shouldn't expect him to do it here.
I have a lot of concerns with Krebs and I don't view him as a center currently.
Krebs - Mitts - Quinn might be a line that works but I think you need to pair Krebs with some additional talent that is really good at shooting.

He looked great at the Worlds. I think he breaks out sooner than later.

Power playing keep-away there shows why size does matter.
He looked so good out there. Him, Dahlin and Muele back there makes me smile.

You take a team and you’re on.
Oh come on you already took the obvious favourite. Snake draft. I’ll take Perrault and Martin. You can have Robert as well.

Levi’s team was always going to win this.
Having Samuelsson and Johnson on his D seems a little unfair.
Leinonen must have been Martin’s goalie?
Charity bet? I’ll take the field

This is my favourite signing of the day. Great 4th line guy with enough skill to move up on a temporary basis if needed.
-
I’ve now read two Hasek and a Poyer reference.
I’ll have some of whatever you all are having.

Adams is using the Brandon Beane playbook. Shed the overpriced "star" players from the past who couldn't get the job done. Draft and develop from within. Make smart and reasonable Free Agent signings. When the team gets to the level that it is ready to compete for a championship, THEN make the big spash acquisition. Perhaps in 1-2 years, the Sabres will be ready to sign their version of Von Miller.
Comparing the Sabres to the Bills, I see the Comrie signing as similar to the Jordan Poyer signing. An under-the-radar signing of a quality guy with upside who wasn't a key player in his previous organization, but fits in well with what Buffalo is trying to do.
Lmao. Jordan Poyer is a pro bowl safety. This goalie is 27 and less than 30 nhl games to his name. There is no comparison. I’m just shocked by how optimistic this thread reads. Hope you guys are right.

You imply that winning doesn't matter to this team, I think that is false and has been shown to be false by how this team acts to adversity especially at the end of the season. The Toronto outdoor game, won. The Eichel revenge game, won. RJ night, won. RJ's last call, won.
For a team where winning doesn't matter, they sure show up in big moments and make sure they win.
I completely agree. They have some battlers in that lineup. That’s why they should be rewarded by bringing in a legit nhl goalie and let these kids compete.
This team was better than Detroit last year and has more promise (imo) and they go out and make all the moves I wish the Sabres made.

I wouldn’t sell this guy too short. I think he has a shot to be a decent starter. He was a 2nd round pick and well regarded prospect who has been brought along slowly. Winnipeg never had a reason to rush him because they had Hellybuck. He has had gradually improving performance in the AHL. He broke into the NHL and played well as a backup last season at age 26. That’s not old for a goalie. I could see a Comrie/Anderson platoon with some UPL sprinkled in being pretty good.
And if he was our backup then perfect I’m all for the hope machine. But it’s him or Anderson starting? Yikes. I’m sure that instills a ton of confidence in this young developing core. When is winning going to start mattering again?

"Average" could be an improvement for us!
Average absolutely would be. Don’t know how a 28 game sample size over several years can instill confidence that he is even average. Bah. Maybe I’m just getting old and crabby today.

Don’t think we see any big swings at outside additions, GT or otherwise, until Levi’s arrival. I do think we are on the Levi timeline
Agreed but JFC goalies take awhile to develop. It may be 3 more years before Levi is ready. Plus we’re putting a ton of faith in a (albeit great looking) prospect. That’s a lot of magic beans and hoping for one of the most important positions in hockey.
I’ll hope for the best but this is the third straight offseason KA has reached for the bottom of the barrel in net. I’ll believe we have an nhl goaltender when I actually see someone in net who is even an average quality nhl starter.

What do you know, Adams was awake and does have a clue
Does he though? This guy has played all of…..28 career games? And his competition is Anderson? Wtf.

I like this one best so far. It’s not new shiny toy syndrome. I truly think savoie has massive potential after all of the reading I’ve done. Unless the rankings include nhl readiness then I would have him ahead of JJP like Thorny has.

I prefer couple days before season starts to avoid injury risk. Good for whenever everyone else wants.
