Mercer is great. I think time will show that it was a great draft with a lot of very good players. Glad they got two in Quinn and Peterka.

He is small and that will always be used against him. His issue is that he is a fearless small player who goes flying into all situations full tilt. He has been knocked out cold by two massive hits the past couple years so I think some worry about durability with that style. At the end of the day I think he goes top 3, just too much talent there.

First I would like to see: Samuelsson-Dahlin Power-Joker

Bloom is a Centre. He plays Centre for Saginaw.

I just want to see a little run with Anderson back in net and Mitts, VO, Tuch and Joker added to this group. That is a 1st line, top pairing D and starter out and they still battle every game.

I know it is way too early so I won’t list specific names but my ideal 1st round would be a high end centre, scoring winger and a talented RHD. With Tage emerging and the acquisition of Krebs to go with Mitts an Cozens, centre is no longer a black hole but another high end centre would be great. You can always use scoring wingers and a high end RHD would help to level out the young back end.

So who is the guy they should get? Korpisalo is crapping the bed in Columbus, two years under .900 sv percentage. Montreal are in dire goaltending need now too. Fleury has been a disaster in Chicago. Who is the guy to go get?

I’m envisioning a future in which the Sabres are in the playoffs and they are rolling out a 6’7 offensive centre who is an absolute matchup nightmare for opposing teams.😀

Best player on the ice tonight against the Leafs.

The name I see is available is Korpisalo but he has been sub .900 sv percentage the past 2 years. Vladar was the guy I wanted before he went to Calgary. Who can be a short term upgrade until Anderson is back?

Dell has played 114 NHL games. Let’s not pretend he is a journeyman minor leaguer. He was flat out awful this evening. Butcher needs to go as well. Miller was to blame too.

They scored 4 goals. This was about a desecration of a goal crease by an ECHlL level goaltender.

I need video footage of Adams throwing Dell’s equipment into the back of an Uber and kicking Dell into the car and pointing the driver to Rochester right away. One of the worst goaltending displays I have seen. Great right from the Sabres. Tage was the best player on the ice. Skinner was great.

Mersh Biro Murray is a good secondary scoring line Keep Peterka Krebs Quinn together

Peterka Krebs Quinn with Samuelsson and Fitzgerald on for that goal. Nice

This team is man for man one of the most talented in the league however they are consistently outshot and out chances. Appert and crew need to adapt and adjust their system a little bit here.

I stand corrected😁

Lundell is a prime example of why scouting and drafting is an inexact science. Not one scouting service had him as the pick at 8. A lot had him in the 20s. Skating and offensive upside were listed as red flags. But he has proven everyone wrong. He has been terrific. I think you were his biggest supporter at the time. Good on you. Levi is proving all the experts wrong as well.

2015 was a year to tank. McDavid is generational and Eichel was a great consolation prize regardless of how it worked out here. This year is not a year to tank. Wright will be a very good player but not someone to turn a franchise around. Sabres have a great young group of developing guys and adding 3 more in the 1st will be huge but they don’t have to try and tank and win a lottery now. The last few drafts are beginning to show that theSabres now have some people in place that can identify talent throughout the rounds. Stay the course, hit on a few more picks and keep developing.

Bloom and Novikov are very interesting prospects. Two kids that someone in the scouting dept. did a ton of research on.

I think it is Tuch with Cozens as an A. Then Cozens graduates to C in a few years with Krebs as an A.

I’m thinking Quinn is Bossy Krebs is Trottier cozens is Goring Power is Potvin Samuelsson is Morrow Levi is Billy Smith We are getting there people.😜🤣

So if I am reading this right then Power will just get 3 points every game from now on.😁

I would really like to see Samuelsson and Dahlin paired up eventually with Dahlin playing the off side. Think he is the type of partner Dahlin needs long term.

Power is 1 point off his last year’s total. His hockey sense is tremendous and his ability to pass the puck is underrated. Always on the tape or served up perfectly in the wheelhouse for one timers.
