    So if we rebuild the entire team around olofsson he'll be better. 

    Also olofsson isn't the guy you want carrying the puck more. Useful player but again he's not what you want on your top line. 

    Exactly. 

    They basically have Olofsson in Ruots.  You can move Olofsson for a young asset, especially if this is a blowup rebuild which it should be.

    Tage Thompson with a goal and an assist after two periods vs Norway.

    Every little bit of confidence will help his development towards....

    Someone check on SabreMike😜😀

  3. Let’s call a spade a spade.  This Collective FO with the Pegulas, Adams and Krueger was all about Ralph and the Pegulas getting their say and Adams following out the plan.  Everyone brought in and let go was handpicked by Ralph.

     

    Lets see what Adams and Karmanos do this off-season. There needs to be a huge move to more analytics based decision making.

    This will be the craziest off-season the Sabres have ever had,

  4. Let’s have some fun. Sabres win the 1st OA selection.  You  are going up to make the pick. Who are you legitimately picking?
     

    I am choosing Power.  His combination of size, skating, hockey IQ is too good to pass up.  I think he is a sure thing. Will play a lot of top minutes for a very long time in the league. I let him go back to Michigan for one more season to mature (something he said he is already heavily considering anyways).  I don’t worry about having Dahlin, Samuelsson, Bryson and Johnson already. Dahlin seem to be itching to slide over to the right side anyways. I see the Sabres having to blow it up and it is easier to get young high end scorers back in trades then it is elite young dmen.

  5. This could all be happening. Rutherford announces he is ready to come back. Sullivan might be fired.

    Rutherford POHO. Karmanos GM. Sullivan HC. Eichel, Reinhart, Risto for Crosby, Malkin, Letang.

    Terry’s dream of the Buffalo Penguins finally comes to fruition in 2021!,😜😂

  6. I’m thinking Power or Beniers depending on draft spot so just like last year:

    ”The Sabres are proud to select from the University of Michigan......Kent Johnson”

    ”We really see Johnson as a Sabre”

    The only one I really don’t want is Edvinsson so I am preparing myself for that selection.😆

    He definitely would not have been on the Sabres draft board. He plays in the CHL.

    Hopefully that changes with Karmanos. Ignoring the CHL, the primary developer of top talent, is ridiculous.  If it doesn’t change then the mandate is from Terry to go USA hockey all the way.  I am surprised they snuck Cozens through😜

    I did like Zellweger at the U18s.

    I want to add I took a dive on power Power after March. He really seemed to come into his own as the Ncaa season progressed. I think his size has him slightly over valued but Power brings an interesting skillset.

    Remember too that Power missed out on the WJCs and the Frozen Fours, 2 events that really would have showed his stuff and been great development events for him. Because of the craziness of this year I think whoever takes Power should let him go back to Michigan or the AHL for the season.

    Have to say, watching a bit of Powers, I will no longer be upset if the Sabres draft him

    yes, it will eventually cause a logjam at LHD but having Dahlin and Powers on the ice 45 mins per game may not be the worst thing in the world. 
    if he’s the BPA. Take him.  Figure out the line-up later 

    I’m glad he is getting a last chance to show his stuff.  Michigan wouldn’t let him go to the WJCs (he must of been thrilled watching Beniers play for U.S.) and then Michigan gets pulled from the Frozen Four at the last second for Covid.  Those would have been two huge stages to see him play.

     

    This is a year when no one knows who the right pick is. Everyone has their opinion but they don’t know.  If Buffalo gets 1st pick I have no problem with Power.
