Might depend on how many D men get taken. I suspect he's early 2nd round so not impossible but you never know, big guys do get taken early sometimes.

Second round I like Vaclav Nestrasil. Could develop into a Protas type. Big boy with an edge.

I understand your position, but if Rosen can't make Buffalo which team can he make? If you're looking to try to entice a team to give up their top 5 pick or are looking for a proven player you're not getting it anywhere close to done offering up Rosen. You might be able to get a conversation going with Utah if you started by offering up Byram but even that might not get it done. You'd likely have to give more. I don't want higher picks or any down the road stuff though. I only want deals that make the roster better now. Right away.

They're not "fake". They are a highly structured defense first hockey team. They don't always score so they can lose but they are very hard to score against. They grind you down. These are good teams and it likely goes 7 games.

Rosen doesn't have the same value. You can't just trade the guys you don't think are any good for gold. Other GMs are not usually stupid. The pick would be viewed as having a much higher ceiling than Rosen who doesn't look like he can even make the NHL on a regular basis. We already have cheap incoming ELCs.

Brad Marchand seems like an odd comparison and a stretch but a lot of Finns do seem to have more of an edge than Swedes (in general) and so it's good to hear he's grittier so time will tell.

I have said this forever. One of them has to be traded. Byram should never have been traded for.

Leaf killer.

So what I'm reading they are having trouble finding anyone since it could be a 1 year situation and it's below Adams who might get fired NEXT year. If that's their approach I'd assume that yes, they'd have trouble finding someone. In my view the only way this works is if they put Adams on notice (playoffs or you are done) and they hire an experienced senior advisor to sit ABOVE Adams and answer only to Pegula with a 5 year deal. The understanding with him being if Adams fails the senior advisor will be empowered to fire everyone and oversee the new hires. Otherwise, it's BS.

He looks like your typical personal trainer. I mean sure, why not. I have no idea if this is good or not.

It comes up on the google AI suggestions. I said it seemed wrong but I couldn't find a real number. I've always assumed they all makes millions which is the point about taking the job. Who wouldn't take a multi million dollar payday even if it was Buffalo?

It's not an unknown reason. He's not defensively sound and Cassidy only plays guys he relies on. VO is a depth player who fills in for the injured.

Ya, after they didn't cash in on that 5 minute PP I thought Vegas was destined to win this one but no such luck. So yes, maybe Jack got undressed on that play but overall he played a really strong game. There's no denying he's been Vegas' best player.

Well for the right price anybody would take the job. But speaking of that, I have always assumed they all make millions and guys like Ken Holland signed 5 million per year deals publicly but I googled around and there's very little info on this and I couldn't find anything on Kevyn Adams. Matter of fact a few spots suggested Sabres GM makes around 70,000 which just seemed wrong. But could it be as simple as that? That Pegula pays his GMs crap and thus nobody of note does in fact want the job?

Pretty sure he did, and it's not like he's a great player now. He's still a one dimensional offensive guy with limitations but we constantly see good teams able to find roles for these Sabre cast offs and it speaks to the inability of this organization to properly construct rosters. I mean Quinn, this year, was most definitely not an upgrade on VO. He might be later, but not so far.

Eichel to Olofsson. Do I need to add anything?

Overall I like it. The dark one with the logo is better. The logo's good and well designed. The name meh, could be worse. Now that they are the Mammoth I want Liam O'Brien nicknamed "Wooly" for their marketing.

People can have more than one residence. Lots of players live elsewhere in the off season. I'm sure Dudley had a condo or rented a place down there. You need to find out where his primary residence is for how he handles tax laws 🙂 I couldn't care less where Staal lives, what Staal says or what he does or doesn't do. It's just like Terry told Kevyn to hire an advisor and Kevyn thought who are my friends? Oh I know Eric is out of work he'll do it. We can lunch together on the company tab. Clown show.

This is how I really feel about the Staal hiring Just one more clown in the car

I can't envision anything because the whole organization is just stupid. Seth Appert promoted FFS. Joke franchise. Let's not jump the gun, they've been up in series before.

It's funny to see all the Rick Dudley stuff on twitter etc. I wanted them to hire Dudley as a Senior advisor/Director of Hockey ops whatever type thing back when it was time to fire Murray and start over. And then again when they fired JBot. And after that even. So now it just feels like too little way too late. I mean sure, but BELOW Adams? That's backass. If they hired Dudley, Dudley should be the one deciding if Adams deserves to keep his job.

His first job will be overseeing Pride night.

Sure, hire your buddy as an advisor cause he did so well leading and mentoring young players when he was signed as a player. This is the stupidest of their many stupid things. I guarantee you the way this is going Appert will be head coach by Christmas and this will be Dahlin's last season as a Buffalo Sabre. But they'll have a shot at McKenna 🙂

wtf are you trying to say? That a guy who has failed to get in the playoffs for 5 straight years and made zero progress should NOT be fired? So yes, fire people. Of course. Hire a true hockey person with lots of experience and let them hire an entire management and coaching structure. Trying to be that Carolina team we all hate is not what I want to see.

I hate this team. I hate Pegula. I hate that I will likely die before I see a winner in Buffalo and I'm in good health.. Moron franchise. Just morons.
