I can read.

They only want players who want to be here. It's showing.

Hagg and Samuelsson

He'd be top pair in Rochester, I'm just not sure what they're going to do with all these defensemen.

Sabres acquire Dman Will Butcher and 5th round from the Devils for future considerations.

Hell freezes over.

A lottery protected first rounder, what a joke. Couldn't get Florida to drop that even though they just finished 37-14-5 in a 56 game season.

Probably 4 to 6 years away from being an NHL starter, if he gets that far in his career. I'm not being negative about him, this is just the usual timeline for goalie prospects. This includes 2 to 3 years at the college level, a couple years in the AHL as a backup and eventual starter and then some time in the NHL as a backup.

I'm beginning to think that one of their 4 scouts got stuck in Russia for the pandemic.

Too soon.

Carey Price and a 1st in 2030 and 2031

He's actually a very good straight line skater, whether from a stop or from cruising speed, he is very quick to get to top speed. His tunnel vision is more of a result of not being a great skater going into turns and not great using cross overs coming back out of turns. Labeling someone as not a good skater means many things, but don't let this lead people to think this kid isn't an explosive fast north south skater.

First they need their starter and an idea of how many games they plan on using him. Then they can decide what they need as a backup. I'm not expecting it to be UPL.

The Sabres will be losing in a trade with some of their better players shortly, I wouldn't sweat the expansion draft.
