Minnesota is the team I think will be in that doesn’t seem to get the publicity in this. With Kaprizov having contract squabbles and demanding a better player to play with, Eichel makes sense. Rossi, Boldy, Dumba is a solid start to a package.

Wow, Friedman saying Tocchet is out as Seattle coach after 3rd interview. Wonder what went wrong. They were also interviewing Quinn so maybe he got it. Friedman also mentioned Sacco and Tony Granato as options.

I would expect coach today or tomorrow, especially if they want to throw it into a dead news cycle.
So they are not waiting to talk to Lambert or Halpern?

Granato has already had this trial by fire and I’m sure he can do it a few more times. Unless this means the coaching hire isn’t him…
They are bringing back Bylsma as coach with Housley and Rolston as Associate HCs just to stick it to everybody.😜

Screw off Eklund. His latest masterpiece is Jack to Calgary for Gaudreau and “other pieces”.

Have we talked about Tyler Boucher yet?
Are you a Sabres' fan that wants an in your face physical guy on the team? Do you want a guy who will rock hits and steal the puck? Do you want to see a 3rd liner who can eat opponents lunches and then transition up ice? Well have I got a guy for you.
Tyler Boucher is probably the most physical player in this draft. He constantly wants to make contact but it isn't in a "big hit out of position way" more of a let me separate you from the puck... or your soul kind of way. The scouting report is simple, good skater with some untapped offensive potential who will routinely physically impose himself on the other team. He's one of those guys that is just a pain to play against.
1st OA😜
I wouldn’t be surprised if they look at guys like him or Colton Dach in the second round. Big, physical wingers that hit, drop the gloves, have some offensive potential. I really think Adams wants that lunchpail mentality and identity back for the Sabres.

A look at league goaltending from last year. Two things:
1) I think Mrazek and Dreidger should be at the top of their list for short term goalie options.
2) OMG Flyers Goaltending!!!🤪

Apparently Mathew Tkachuk may want out of Calgary...now he is one guy I`d love in a Sabre uniform. Talk is however that he wishes to go to St Louis of all teams and word is Tarasenko being part of any trade. Sure wish we could land him
And Tkachuk has the same all about me attitude as Jack. That is what they are looking to get rid of.

McKeen's top 32 final rankings
https://www.mckeenshockey.com/nhl-blog/mckeens-final-2021-nhl-draft-rankings/
Kent Johnson at #15, wow. He is the most polarizing player in the draft. Wheeler has him at #2. Extremely skilled kid who needs to put on about 25 pounds.
There seems to be some trends forming across rankings. Power at #1, Beniers usually #2, Eklund is gaining steam as a top 4 pick, as is Hughes in the top 5 and Guenther around 8th.
-
Wow, if Vegas keeps getting no scoring from their forwards and gets bounced will they dive head first into the Eichel sweeps? The more suitors the better.

IF they get 3 OA I think Beniers and Power are the outcome they are hoping for. Just my opinion. Send them back to Michigan and let them develop with Portillo.

Eichel for Dach, Debrincat, 11 OA, Reichel, and we formally apologize for the Hasek-Beauregard trade.😜

Where is this quote? The Athletic is a news organization. If they are getting juicy quotes like this, they are going to get it published.

Paywall alert.
Any way you, or someone, could summarize?
You are not going to like it.😀 Chad is in the “No one will give a top prospect for Jack” mindset.

A poster on another board posted this. I think Adams is on the right track and if teams are still involved then that is a good sign.
“Some Insider at the athletic got a quote from an anonymous nhl executive that the asking price for eichel was 6 pieces”
Top six under 24 player F
top 4 Under 24 player D
1 Bluechip prospect / 2 mid prospects

IMHO - there was never any doubt....it was already decided by the end of the season. The so-called search is merely a check the box exercise.
What a stupid take. If he was decided at the end of the season they would have announced it.
If they announced him as coach at end of the season then people would bitch they didn’t do a real search. They have done a real search, talked to many coaches from all different avenues. People are bitching that they did a real search, that it is taking to long or trying to spin it as, “well they are pretending it is a real search but really it is not.” Some people just want crap to complain about no matter what.

At the least Quinn could serve as a solid 2rw who locks down other teams while providing counter strike transition offense.
If only there was a two way transition playmaking centre that could fit like a glove with him available.😜

Or they will just shock us out of left field with something like Mark Hunter is joining the FO and Dale Hunter is the new coach.
My money is still on Granato unless Lane Lambert dazzles them.

Last year KA made a mildly surprising pick in Quinn. So I don't think that social pressure is going to be much of a factor. I prefer Power but if the selection is Beniers that would also be a worthy pick. If a deal is made for Zegras or Dach in a Jack trade it might make even more sense to draft Power. Whatever the Sarbres decide to do they are going to have good options to choose from.
This is why I think 3 OA is so appealing to Adams. If he could come away with Beniers and Power I think he would be thrilled. That is why I think if he gets 3rd too then Beniers might be the 1st pick. Make sure you get the guy Seattle is probably high on as well and role the dice they take someone else at 2 and Power drops to 3. Beniers just fits Adams description of Sabres hockey to a tee.

Let's not outsmart ourselves. Stick to the board and Draft power. If you add Dach to the mix that includes Cozens and Mitts you have a good middle. Beniers would certainly be a worthy pick. I just think that Power would be a player in the long run would be our best option.
It think you put Dach and Cozens together again as a power skill top line. Hope you get your Getzlaf-Perry combo for a decade.
