    Or in a package deal for John Gibson, 1 can only hope!

    There is always hope 

    I hope the Sabres don’t touch Gibson with a  39 foot poll. Hasn’t been above .905 and a negative GSAA for the past 3 years. On top of that he is overpaid for the next 5 years. 

  2. What I really like about this draft, is by the time these guys are ready for the league, Quinn and JJP should have already established themselves as quality wingers. That gives us Tuch, Skinner, Quinn, JJP, Oloffson, and whichever of the centers that may eventually end up at W for Savoie/Ostlund to set up.

    But isn’t he too young for the AHL?  I.e. isn’t he permitted to play only in he NHL or juniors/college/overseas?

    I think that limit is if he is under contract to a team, and it depends on the league. He didn’t play in the CHL, or the SHL where those rules are more strict. Don’t much about the Czech league restrictions.

    Does anyone know where we can send him gift baskets as a thank you for not coming here?

    It looks like the Sabres were doing g it as a favor to the Sens to move up in the draft since it looked like Murray and 7th for 1 of the Sabres 1st.

    Moving from 16 to 7 would likely be the equivalent of a late first to send him here, with some retention.

    No.  I dont need to help these teams.  And this helps them more than it helps the Sabres.

    Picks 7, 9, 25 and 28 >>>Picks 9, 16, 28 and 41

    All that trade does is use cap that would otherwise go unused while upgrading 2 of our picks significantly. I think it helps us at least as much, not next year of course, but 3,4,5 years down the line the rewards could be huge.

    We can call KA’s first draft in 2020 “not the real thing” if we want (even though he clearly went against who Botterill had at 8 ) but his 2021 draft is assuredly an Adams draft and a component of “this build”

    Or are we calling THIS now “Year 1” 😆

    I think 2022 could be considered the first draft of KA’s draft team. Obviously though, 2021 was his draft.

    Possible but I imagine it would be closer to a July 13th Deal, as Kuemper is now going to UFA

    I don’t know if a team like Toronto can really afford Kuemper’s contract tbh. 
    Here’s this for a wacky trade idea

    To Buffalo: 7 OA, 3 milx2 years retention on Murray, Mrazek, Toronto 3rd 

    To Ottawa: 16 OA

    To Toronto: Murray 50% retained.
