Yes, everyone can say we took the BPA but if your scouts stink than it really doesn’t matter.

Frankly BPA is a myth. Unless you are talking about the first pick in the draft than BPA is just who each individual team deems is the BPA in their view. It is based on team’s individual preferences. If Cayden Lindstrom and Berkley Catton are both available I guarantee NHL teams will have different assessment of who the better player is. Sam Dickinson and Zane Parekth, different teams will have them ranked differently as well. It’s just a pet peeve but I know it will be the BPA that the Sabres scouts have ranked on their board.

Savoie’s point streak finally ends but he played well. He played centre and was good at the dot and was very good positionally in his own end. Used his body to force a couple turnovers too. Savoie out west and Komarov in the Q are in championship series with the winner going to the Memorial Cup in Saginaw. London play Oshawa to see the second team from the O to advance to the Memorial Cup

@CapFriendly · 8m The #GoSensGo have 24 hours to decide if they will forfeit their 2024 1st round pick or push the decision to either 2025 or 2026, due to the invalid Evgenii Dadonov trade.

Would rather just sign DeMelo for free

I think the most interesting prospect will be Lindstrom in as far as when he is picked. His injury has really made him a wildcard. He has the overall package team really want but there are a lot of other interesting prospects at the top of the draft. I could see him being picked 3oa and I can see him available at 11.

11th, Krebs and Joker for Cirelli and Cernak😜 Gives TB a top pick since they have none in the top 4 rounds and cheaper options with their cap troubles. Gives Sabres two pieces they desperately need.

I’d love to see a Novikov-Komarov pairing in Rochester next season.

In this hypothetical I wonder if Ottawa would be interested in Peterka to pair with Stutzle. Peterka, Östlund or Savoie or Kulich, 1st for Brady

JJ Tage Tuch Benson Cozens Quinn (if Cozens can’t get going with two wingers like Benson and Quinn then cut bait with the guy) find a way to get out from Skinner. the fourth line should be a physical defensive line. The third line is the key for me. I think they need some offence on that line as well as physicality. If they can have 3 scoring lines and a shutdown physical 4th line that is how Lindy had success before. I don’t know if anyone on the team right now is a fit for that third line. If they can target a team with cap issues and see if you can pry a Karlsson or Cirelli or Lundell via trade or look at a Stephenson or Monahan in ufa to anchor that line. Then find another winger that has some size, physicality and can score and see if one of Savoie, Kulich or Rosen can play the other wing. I think Greenway can be an effective 4th liner. They need a really strong faceoff guy to anchor the 4th line. Then round it out with a guy that flies all around the ice and loves to get physical in the forecheck. A Carrier type. I think in a couple years that Östlund and Wahlberg will be good 3rd liners for them but it is about winning right now.

It’s amazing in this 13 year run that the Sabres have never moved up once in all these lotteries.

Here is Adams answer on WGR: On the draft lottery - Barring a surprise lottery victory the 11th pick is absolutely on the table as a trade piece. Knows how valuable it is and how it can help the team get better now. The goal before was to build up the pipeline but their commitment to that in the past gives them added flexibility this year.

I just stopped by hfboards and😳 A guy proposed Marner, Reilly and a 1st for Dahlin and Krebs and a Leafs fan responded that they wouldn’t trade Reilly for Dahlin straight up😁🤣

Bruins now 5-0 vs the Panthers this season.

Yes, Gods that get car jacked. The comment is just as cringy to the Leaf fanbase here in Toronto. They might not be able to move Marner or Tavares if both refuse to go this summer.

Yeah and Byram is a Stanley Cup champion. They can get a middle 6 centre.

Absolutely 😃

https://grantland.com/the-triangle/were-no-1-the-history-of-trading-the-nhls-top-pick/ Here is an article. It happened a lot more in earlier years.

Saskatoon😃 and yes it has been a great series. Hopefully Moose Jaw can pull out Game 7

I don’t get Travis Green to Ottawa at all. Oh Well

Celebrini is a good one. Man did McKenna explode at the U18s can’t believe that kid is 2 years away from being drafted. I still would like to see the Sabres trade the pick if it isn’t a lottery win. If they don’t trade it and stay at 11 I could see Senneke or Helenius being the guy. I think Iginla goes top 10. Not sure which dman will fall but that could be an option as well.

No playoffs for 13 years is awful but Leafs fans experience over that time might be worse.

I was in Belleville two years ago when Murray scored the OT winner to win that series. He seems to have a clutch flare for the dramatic.
