Flashsabre

Zegras reminds me a lot of prime Connolly. Vision and skill to make sexy highlight reel plays.

I would take it and run. It is the quality you want not the quantity. Those two pieces could be 2/3rds of your top line for a decade. Eklund Zegras Cozens/Quinn depending on what the plan for Cozens is.

Power is Sabres top rated DMan, Eklund is Sabres top rated Forward. underlying metrics show Eklund is top offensive player in draft. Sabres preparing for 2nd high draft pick.

I think the Sabres really value a high pick in this draft. Avs can’t offer that so my ask is Newhook and Byram and then work out the rest of the pieces for a deal.

A guy on another board who says he has some connections (Giant grain of salt) said there are two deals: Zegras with some other pieces or 3 OA/Comtois and a couple pieces. Obviously Adams is holding out for Zegras and 3 OA.

Excellent….Excellent. Let’s get a couple desperate GMs competing with one another.

Good. The Sabres need to start developing properly if they ever want to get out of this mess. Although next year if they draft Shane Wright then he can play right away.😁

Cocaine is a hell of a drug!😜😂😀

I think Beniers is in the mix too. He is a poster child for what Adams wants the Sabres to be.

5 hours, wow I would go nuts.

I wonder if this hire has been in the pipeline for a while and why they haven’t talked to draft prospects yet. They are talking to Eklund (Swedish winger not rumor BSer😀) on Wednesday so probably the others as well. Maybe it is just timing or maybe they want Ventura in the room.

Where do you think Karmanos came from? He worked with him in Pitt, thought very highly of him, made sure to bring him on board. If the two of them have a great relationship then it’ll make things work much more smoothly.

If Colorado has really thrown their hat in the ring then that is great news for Buffalo. The more suitors out west, all not wanting their competitors to get Jack, the better.

They hired Tampa’s cap strategists.😜

Rather then passenger Guenther😜

McTavish will be gone top 5.

Eichel and Risto to L.A. Confirmed.😜

I mean talking to a kid 3 months before the draft is not better then talking to the kid 3 weeks before the draft. Most of the top end guys seem to be high character guys so I doubt any real red flags come up. I think the kid that is the real wildcard is. Mason McTavish. He doesn’t get the hype of the others but he is big, plays hard, has a canon of a shot and is a centre. I wouldn’t be shocked if he goes top 5.

Not have a temper tantrum like most on here will do if their guy isn’t the pick. There are options at the top of the draft and they may have multiple picks. The only guy right now that would set me off if Edvinsson because his hockey sense scares me.

Usually they talk to players at the draft combine. No Draft combine so they will set up a time closer to the draft. Adams has had some stuff on his plate. They might not have talked to any players yet. Might set those up in the next few weeks. I don’t think it is as telling as some people who don’t want Power to be the pick hope it is.

They still haven’t talked to Power yet.

It is fascinating that we here that they love all the Michigan guys and then we here that they value Eklund over any other forward. From two different Buffalo reporters. Why did this happen and what does it mean? Is it some sort of smokescreen for some trade negotiations? We’re they angry the Michigan tidbit got out and are trying misdirection?

Ellis will be there. He is highly thought of by Adams and the ownership. Girardi might go to the Rags. I would prefer another experienced coach on staff. Gronberg to run the d would be an interesting hire.
