You do realize we can trade players and injuries happen??

Unfortunately, so is the guy we took at 14 this year

From a talent standpoint this would make sense. Never going to happen though, as 1. Ehlers and iafallo both walk in a year 2. not getting rid of the one player that wants to play in Buffalo

July 1st….regular season start tomorrow? if it’s the same roster on October, then yes

The Montour and Stephenson contracts are absolutely hideous though. The players are good but not worth anywhere what they got.

Do you expect KA to tell you what UFAs they’re going after? That’s called tampering. Hoping he’s working on something other than Girgensons coming back. why don’t we all relax and wait to see what happens in UFA. If KA sh!ts the bed then we can call for his job

Or your typical 6th rounder. A 6th rounders chance of having a good nhl career is about 7%. I did like the last pick of the goalie. Not sure why he lasted to the 7th round. As we know Levi was a 7th rounder

Peters got kicked of WGR and has a vendetta against the Sabres. Not sure what he has against KA. Just take what he and rivet say with a grain of salt

Stamkos will resign with TB tomorrow - they cleared space the last couple of days to do so

So………how’s KA going to add real players? Like top 4 d/top 6 forward

This board is ridiculous I honestly don’t know this guy, but. young, 26 grit plus big on the PK 2nd rounders have meaningful nhl careers about 25% of the time quit overreacting - we can overreact if he doesn’t acquire any top 6 players

Problem with this is skinner has to be bought out by tomorrow and top 6 ufa’s cant be signed until Monday. Skinner is as good as gone

2nd round picks are often traded for good nhl players too. Not top line players (without throwing in prospects) but certainly grinders for the bottom 6

It’s also the timing of those trades and the sh&t coaching. This is the time for some infusion of talent via trades and UFA. Let’s see if KA has the balls to make it happen. He should, he’s in a no lose situation - status quo won’t work and his job has to be on the line this year

If KA isn’t trading his 2nd rounders: a. He better have some trades in the works, trading current prospects, and b. He better be a miracle worker at UFA, or c. He’s left the next GM a lot of potential he should also do all he can to trade up and get Elick. He’s a mean SOB, something we’re severely lacking

And the other 5 has him between 11 and 15. A lot of differing opinions on the players in this draft

He’s up to 189 now for what it matters

I like the pick a lot. One of best players in U18s, good size, really good stats in the finish pro league, really skilled, has some grit, really good on faceoffs. My #9 player and we got him at 14. One year left on contract so will be over here in 16 months. i like the pick a lot, I hate the fact we made the pick

Skinner’s buyout adds 7.5m to this so it’s 31m

I’d be glad to have Strome as our 2/3 C but not way I’m giving up that much for him. Maybe something like Rosen and Joker(or Krebs) and a 2nd but for him I’m not giving up #11 or Savoie

Yep - looks like he would be a consideration in rd 3

Kid is super fast, has good height and is a willing hitter. Where does he fall in the rankings? He needs to add weight, but all 18 year olds do

If Dickinson slips to 11 we’d have to grab him. I don’t think he lasts that long but I think he projects to be Owen Power with a ton more nastiness

Last year, due to injuries, the bills were dangerously thin at LB, WR, CB and Safety. They pulled a guy from vacation to play LB, Sherfield had the most targets in the KC game and I’m not sure who played safety in the end. This year, the signings are huge names but he’s adding a lot of depth. I expect a quality DE to be signed post 6.1 when White’s 10m frees up

Agree contract estimates are all $1milion to $2million too low
