Joe Dibiase made a comparison that the more I think about it the more I like: Pavel Datsyuk High IQ very creative playmaker, excellent defensive forward, magician at stripping pucks from opposing players.

This is a very unique year. One day turn around between draft and Free Agency. I wonder if we get real trades before Saturday or if teams see how they do in free agency first then turn to trades after that.

Meanwhile here’s the Leafs draft: https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/every-toronto-maple-leafs-draft-pick-from-2023-nhl-draft/ 😂

4 D, Size, Goalie what are some people going to complain about now?😁 We got a stud talent in Benson and filled some needs on the backend, a goalie with upside and some big forwards. The pipeline is really stocked Time to turn attention to free agency and trades to round out the Sabres roster.

Two comparables made for him: Cernak and Gudas Really Like the pick.

Love to see some trades for NHL players now. Maybe the teams wake up today. One of #39 or 45 needs to be a dman, both would be great if the right value is there. Strabek sounds like a Gudas type warrior dman. Would be a nice add to the pipeline

Early it was Michkov. In his presser he said they kept trying to move back into the first round after pick 20 but no one would trade. Have to think they wanted Musty at that point.

After having a night to sleep on it I thought his best comparison might be: Patrice Bergeron. Different positions but elite 200 foot players that are just as good defensively as they are offensively. Super intelligent and dogged determination.

Fantastic pick. I love two high end teammates in junior getting to play together in Buffalo. Best player on the board, don’t get cute. He is a warrior type player. The Hockey News compares him to Marchand. Super defensive forward too. shocked to see Moore falling. IQ must be a red flag.

Lucic back to Boston😂

Seravalli says Habs have five offers for the number5 pick. That seems to be the sweet spot Why do you continue to think that #13 is the only asset that can get a player back. They can trade roster players, prospects other picks in a trade for a player or sign one in UFA.

Yep it’s Michkov. I think they might have to get to Montreal at 5 or Arizona at 6. Don’t know if they can get there.

Tage and.Cozens deals are pure Gold

On another board a poster said Adams did a radio interview today and said he was going to be aggressive in trying to move up. I wonder who they are locked in on?

Bryson, Clague, Prow, Cecconi😛

The Jets made out like bandits in that trade. PLD will be miserable in 2 years and rumours will fly that he wants out.

If NJ gets Hellebuyck they will be a contender.

Hockey Messageboard Fandom 101: Step 1: bitch that no trades are happening Step 2: bitch that they kept the pick Step 3: bitch that they picked the wrong player with the pick they should have traded. Step 4: bitch that they didn’t make a deal at the draft Step 5: comment on every other trade that was made and say that Adams should have done that even though it wouldn’t help the team at all Step 6: bitch that the Sabres haven’t signed anyone at 12:01 on July 1st STEP 7: bitch about the signings that they made Step 8: log in everyday over the summer to bitch about the state of the team. Buckle Up😁

If Adams brought in Borgen and Miles Wood then half this board would have nothing to talk about😂 You’ll just bitch about whatever move they make anyways😛

Why are people saying “I think they will get OEL” you have no proof of this other then it just fits into a defeatist attitude.

Moore definitely fits the Adams profile to a tee. Interesting that Benson is sitting in the wheelhouse too. Sabres don’t need to draft a dman at #13. If the Sabres stay at 13 I would be happy with either Benson or Moore. I think Philly, Detroit and St. Louis are real wildcards to me as far as what they do with their picks.

Natural centre Ville Leino 😛

I really wonder if the DeAngelo to Carolina deal that is being held up is because they are dealing Pesce. Carolina’s owner sets his price on anplayer and doesn’t budge. If the DeAngelo deal can’t happen till July 9th that puts Carolina in a spot if they are moving Pesce. Unless they deal him now and just wait for the DeAngelo deal to go through later.
