So they are not waiting to talk to Lambert or Halpern?

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”.

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.

https://thewincolumn.ca/2021/06/20/evaluating-2021-nhl-goaltender-performances-with-goals-saved-above-expected/ 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!!!🤪

And Tkachuk has the same all about me attitude as Jack. That is what they are looking to get rid of.

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.😜

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 1st round

Thanks

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think Dach is more likely than Zegras to be offered because of the draft pick position 3 vs 11. I actually think Adams would prefer Dach based on his comments about hard skill hockey. But I also think he really is interested in Beniers because of those comments and would prefer 3 OA pick. I really loved Cozens and Dach’s chemistry at the WJCs prelims before Dach got injured. Maybe Adams accepts the Dach deal (if on the table) and just drafts Beniers 1 OA. That would push his hard skill, fast, team oriented vision for the team.

https://twitter.com/CBJcoverage/status/1407105331101118478?s=20 Friedman: Sabres are asking “a ton” for Eichel and are “deep in discussions with several teams.” “I’d be lying if I said I knew [a trade] was close, but I’ll tell you this. I believe those conversations with teams, Anaheim and Columbus among them, are pretty in depth.” #CBJ

He signed a two year deal. He should be back and ready to go and he does play a style Adams wants.

Maybe he goes home to St. Louis then.

https://twitter.com/F1RETHECANNON/status/1407133587795853313?s=20 Reinhart+Risto or VO for Tkachuk+ he plays the style Adams wants to play moving forward.

Reading KA’s comments from Lance’s story it sounds like they are sick of the diva’s BS and want to move him and create a team that works hard and plays for each other. I’m sure the Captain’s comment that “Jack Eichel has to look out for Jack Eichel” just cemented that for them.
