Agree. And Benson on the top line gives me pause. Fine player, but first line? Not yet, IMHO.

It baffles me to this day that he went 1OA. Was that draft class that weak?

I agree. That was presumed on my part.

As I get older I’ve realized that setting high expectations on things over which I have no control is a recipe for a lifetime of frustration. As fans, we can stop buying tickets and merch and scream into the void on social media and message boards, but other than venting, it doesn’t actually do anything, especially when you have ineffective ownership and management. It’s (unfortunately) their expectations that matter most.

I’d add Benson to that list. He’s not a big dog, but he seems like a willing ankle biter.

This. If he isn’t one of the lowest paid GMs, that is even more damning of Pegula’s judgment.

Can’t imagine this presentation took multiple days, but maybe.

Out of curiosity, what type of player wouldn’t be a “typical Sabres pick” in the late rounds? Can’t the same be said for every other teams’ late round picks? Are there too many rounds in the draft? Should they just leave the draft after the 3rd round?

Pretty dull

He looked like he couldn’t wait to get back on his phone to order “How to Shoot Your Way Out of Town In Ten Easy Steps” on Amazon.

Gimme the guy that hates to lose the most.

Practice. Lots and lots of practice.

Sabres sure could use a guy like that Reinhart fella… 🤦‍♂️

And the new video board is prone to hacking with porn videos.

Unfortunately, it never ends.

Hopium springs eternal? 😬

Similarly, so many things in society seem to drive us to make binary choices— this or that, this candidate or that one, is this good or bad, etc. I’m continually reminding myself that I don’t have to have an opinion on everything.

In situations like this, I always wonder about past precedents with other teams. You know, (team) brought in (person) to advise (other person) and it turned out (fill in the blank).

Probably because as of right now, it hasn’t.

I’m among the crowd that’s not thrilled with Adams getting another mulligan, but if JK can offer sound advice, experience, and connections, that KA actually heeds, then it could be a step in the right direction. Cautiously optimistic.

Seems he has a desire deficiency to me. Why keep bringing in towering defensemen like him and Power who play so small?

Floodgates are open

Is it me or does Bissonnette look like mid-80s Freddie Mercury?

He creates a Sabrespace account and posts pro-Kev content. Remember that Idemo person? Like that.

Proving once again that when it comes to Sabres hockey in particular, or life in general, happiness is very often simply the difference between expectations and reality.
