I call BS, Eklund hasn’t reported it on Hockeybuzz😛

After watching the behind the draft videos I have no doubt that Adams picks up the phone and checks on every single guy that might be available or is having contract issues. The call probably went nowhere but he atleast checked in to see if there was a chance of a potential deal

Check your meds. Sounds like you mixed them up this morning. You are even more negative and obnoxious then usual.

Are you 12? Grow up or do everyone a favour and get lost.

Well said. He is the perfect embodiment of what Adams wants the culture to be. There is an interview from the end of last season where Greenway just gushes over the quality of person Okposo is and his reputation.

How’s the wifi under the bridge where you are trolling from?

https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/sports/sabres/zach-metsa-hopes-to-turn-playing-for-amerks-into-nhl-contract I can see him becoming the Sabres Matt Grzelyck , small Dman who works his way into the lineup then you can’t take him out because he doesn’t make mistakes. That’s what happened with the Amerks in the playoffs last year and I can see it happening with the Sabres in another year.

I think Novikov, Johnson And Metsa are going to be really fun to watch on that Amerks backend this season. And I think Metsa signs an NHL deal real quick. Add Nicholas Savoie and that’s 4 prospect dmen that will be playing roles on the Amerks. They really have turned the Amerks into a true development team. And Appert has been so impressive with the way he interacts with the media and knowledge of his players. They all speak about their interactions with him during the season. Guy will be an NHL coach down the line.

Can you predict Bryson will be a top 4 this year😜

Wahlberg and Mediema are 6’3-6’4. Strabek and McCarthy are 6’2-6’3 They don't just draft small guys. And size and hitting don’t really correlate anyways. Leafs signed Ryan Reeves. Do you think he will play a big part for the Leafs?

Some absolutely atrocious football tonight with these 2 games.

Well that’s better then saying he will miss all of camp . Hope for a quick recovery

Mike Commodore was saying he is a predator and everything he does is intimidation. He made the point of if he was at development camp and he called a young prospect into the office and tells him to turn on Airplay to put his phone info up on the screen in the office. What if the player is gay but hasn’t come out to his family or friends yet but suddenly his pics with his boyfriend are up on the coach’s screen in his office. Really awkward stuff. I have a strong feeling the phone stuff was the tip of the iceberg and there are other factors at play here as well. Good riddance to the guy. No one from any of his teams has ever had anything nice to say about him.

I agree that Poitras and Lohrei are their top guys.

Yeah but what do those guys know they don’t even post on a message board😜

The voodoo of picking goalies in the first round.

Or just go for the Godfather: Mike Keenan

And be healthy at the right time too

What is the problem with the franchise’s direction? They are in better shape then they have been in 15 years. This just seems like taking something and twisting it so you can shine your light on your narrative of hating the team.

What a mess. They put guys like Jenner and Gaudreau in real bad positions to have to go to bat for Babcock and defend him.

Yes autocorrect was not my friend. Amerks 😁

I watched Fleming in warmup and he couldn’t stop a beach ball. I was worried he would get shelled and then he had a great game. Remember though it was just a single game from an invitee. Panocha struggled and had a couple brutal giveaways but I still really like his overall package for a 7th round pick. Metsa is 24 but he is so smart and smooth. He will be a mainstay for the Akeem’s at the least. Johnson is really solid. I don’t know what some are looking for. Both top 5 picks, Nemec and Reinbacher, didn’t standout at all. It is hard for D to impress. Novikov has so much potential. He will be a Sabre in time. Rosen and Kulich are goal scoring gamebreakers. So impressed with Rosen. His ability to change the game with his feet and shot are great. Both of them are playing the game the right way too. Benson and Savoie are waterbugs who are all over the ice and the puck. Really exciting players to watch. Both compete and get their noses dirty. And Benson has the “It” factor of great players where the puck follows them all around.’ Neuchev really competes. He will struggle early in the AHL but I bet he has a breakout after Christmas. Kozak is a great 4th line centre. Faceoffs, PK, snarl, shot blocks. Kid is going to work his way into the Sabres down the line. Everytime I watch Cederqvist the takes a beating but it doesn’t deter him. Interesting size-skill combo. Nadeau’s feet hurt him but he battles and competes and knows where to go to score. Kisakov will take more time but the skill is there. Really like Nicholas Savoie’s game. Much like Metsa he is so smart and calm with the puck never making bad decisions. He will push a couple D out and become a fixture on the Akeem’s blue line at some point this year.

For a 2nd OA pick Nemec was not impressive in the least tonight.

Rosen heading to a lot of people’s Do Not Trade list.
