Man I would just hate that to be career threatening

Unless it was one of the big guys reporting it then it may as well been brought up by a fan.

Montour is a very nice player. I’m really looking forward to seeing what he can do the next few years. It was fun watching him paired with Dahlin.

Ya I’m passed the second first is 30 or 31 but I would have been really pissed if we kept both picks and they both ended up 28+.

In this spot of the draft (first round) I would argue there is a decent value bump moving up 10 spots. Obviously you still have to choose the right player at that spot but I think the odds of hitting it are decently higher. Plus it doesn’t cost the sabres anything except having to watch the stars in the conference finals.

Biggest non-sabres sabres game tonight since when?

Player turned coach getting his first opportunity? No thanks.

Now I see a reverse jinx. I see what you did there ?

Wow is he really 5’ 8? League is changing to allow for smaller players but if accurate that’s pretty short.

You wonder if tippet is set on Seattle and just interviewed to see what buffalo is all about or if he truly is available. I wanted tippet when he was still coaching zona.

This!! I would pay closer to $9 per if we're talking a 5 year term. If it's 7 or 8 years then no thanks to anything over $7.5 at max.

Come on buffalo. Get on that train!

So we either hire Keefe or Babcock. Win win.

Interesting thoughts. Could be like when the wildcat was first used again in the NFL a few years ago. Took the D time to figure out how to stop it.

Maybe the discussion revolved around seeing if he has changed his mind about coaching Roch. Two straight first round sweeps can't leave Taylor feeling very secure.

Wow, wasn't his last game like a 60+ save performance? Sudburry lost something like 1-0 or 2-1 in double or triple OT and apparently he was brilliant the whole game. Makes it that much more impressive if he was playing through pain and did that.

Is this right? Not saying it's isn't but anything to back that up?

No but this is one of our top prospects and hopeful answer to our goalie issues in a couple of years. It's a big deal him not being able to train all offseason. Does he even start as the #1 in Roch with little training? This could set his development back atleast half a season and thus that much further from being a Sabre.

Nope. Plus, as we know with Bogo, this is a 5-6 month recovery time. This was his last off season to train before he starts his professional career. I think Roch is counting on him as their #1 next year so this is....not good.

Last thing I needed to hear.....

Ok that cat gif made me nearly spit out my coffee lol.

Ya I really do still like JBott but this would leave me wondering....

The only thing I really didn't want was an old retread coach. Not only that but he's like the 3rd or 4th retread option even available. At this point you hope a team overreacts and fires a good but Round 1 losing coach or you go with Keefe or Smith. Won't even be excited with Keefe or Smith until they actually turn it around but if they hire JM would be about the only way I would be disappointed.
