Rumblings are they are having a 3rd interview with a guy named Jerry Pegula. Looks a lot like Terry but with a ZZ Top beard. If hired, he might have his wife on the bench with him.😜

That was a bad interference call on Power. Had a really nice rush and fed the puck to the streaking winger heading to the net. watching Power play it seems he is not quite sure of his own abilities quite yet. There is a lot of upside in his game as he fills out, gets comfortable with his ability against top talent. If he is the pick I wouldn’t mind him going back to Michigan for a year to develop.

Should have hired Jennifer Botterill as well.😄

“OMG, a guy in a sweater with BuffaloNill on the back has broken into Buffalo’s Draft room and tackled Kevyn Adams. He just keeps yelling “Sabres pick Guenther, Sabres pick Guenther, Sabres pick Guenther” as security drag him from the room.”😜😀

Yeah I know, I was just joking around. Hopefully a solution is found without it dragging out between lawyers from the league a PA getting involved.

They want direct access to Adams. The best outcome maybe another really seasoned GM is brought in and it is a 3 headed monster with Adams being the mouthpiece/ direct link to the Pegulas while Karmanos and the other GM do a lot of the heavy lifting.

He will never be the same again. Avoid like the plague! 😜 Kidding but yikes, I hope he is OK.

In this trade, there is no way the Ducks are trading for Eichel and moving Gibson. Trading for Eichel would mean trying to compete much quicker which means you keep your franchise goaltender. something like Eichel, Risto for Zegras, Comtois, #3, small add would be more realistic.

LOL is this what it has come to? Acting like petulant children because someone doesn’t think their hockey team is going to pick the player they want. Is this really what this board is going to look like for the next month plus? NEWSFLASH: Building prospects up or tearing them down HAS NO IMPACT on who the team selects at the draft.

Beniers and Team USA play at 9:15 am tomorrow. Power and Team Canada play at 1:15pm tomorrow.

Awful play. Throw the book at Sciefele

Hence why they need a full rebuild. Eichel and Reinhart want out, Risto needs to go. Take the best player now, secure as many young assets as possible from those moves. You have some stud forwards in the next 2 drafts. Try to build this properly for once.

If you take all your sites, average them out, who is the top ranked player? Power If you look at the NHL scouts and the people plugged into NHL front offices, who is the #1 pick? Power we Get it, you don’t like him but that doesn’t change the reality of where he is going to go.

Hedman is the best comp for playing style. Whether he develops into Hedman’s level I am doubtful but that is the best comparison of his game.

The problem with next year is that you have to make sure their is no conditions on it and I don’t see that happening.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/nhl-top-15-mock-draft-sabres-position-take-owen-power-first-overall/ Yes he is. Sportsnet, TSN who talk to NHL scouts and NHL Central Scouting all have him number 1. Where StartUpOnlineScouting.com has him is irrelevant.

Yes he is among the NHL professional scouts. just because random online twitter people have different opinions in their rankings does’t mean they hold more weight.

Why don’t you lay out your off-season plan so we can all learn what a brilliant off season should look like.

You take the best player regardless of position. They should take Power, he is the number one prospect. Kid is Canada’s number 1 dman at the WCs. He went from no ice time to top minutes in a couple games under a proven coach in Gallant. The lineup isn’t strong but still an accomplishment for sure for a kid who hasn’t been drafted yet. Tune in tomorrow, they play Russia. If they are blowing this up then it is easier to get top end scoring prospects back rather then top shelf stud dmen prospects. And NO, Power isn’t Myers because both are tall. Power has great hockey sense on the back end which Myers never had a lick of.

We know exactly how this will go. Buffalo will pick 2nd. A group of fans will get super excited stating that Power is going 1st and the Sabres will get Beniers 2nd. This will go on until the draft. Power will go 1st and then the Sabres will take someone else 2nd and it will be the end of the world and the universe.

Embarrassing take. 😜 I will gladly take Power or Beniers . JUST...STAY.....AWAY......FROM.......GUENTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀

They should call his bluff then. “OK Jack, everything is setup, you go under the knife on Friday. Here are 300 waivers you have to sign that absolve us of any responsibility for your decision.”

You are right but I don’t think it is Charlie. I think it is coming straight from Atkins on how to handle the pitching staff.

Dumba, Rossi, Boldy, 1st or Greenway. That is my ask for Eichel from Minny.
