Mr. Allen

So when are they going to announce Ruff moving upstairs and Appert taking over as HC? Next year?

When did he say that?

All depends. If they “run it back”. Then no. If they make some major moves and adjustments, then I think we can. The talent is there.

I’m done with this group. Terry needs to hire a president and then stay out of it. Let the new president pick his own guys.

The way I look at it is getting a good draft pick is the lone reward for fans after having to suffer through another bad season. So I’m at the point of F the moral victory of wining the last game. Give me a better draft pick to make it easier on this organization to not screw up the selection.

We can’t get 4th still? Or just highly unlikely?

Does anyone know what injury he currently has?

I would like to see Boston win and get out of that 4th spot. I don’t want to see them get lucky and retool quickly. I’d like to see them suffer at least a little bit.

Gonna be interesting last couple games as there’s like 6 teams that can change positions in the top 10. Spots 1-3 are set. But 4-9 can all change depending on last game or two.

I’m more or less just saying that there’s new procedures out there. New ways to fix it and maybe it’ll be different for someone who has it more recently.

I think it was more like liking toads in a dark box.

Aaron Rodgers did some kind of unique process with his Achilles and recovered quite quickly.

It’s gonna suck when Pittsburgh or Boston get him.

Thank you. I didn’t know.

I don’t think we “won” the trades. Just that it looks better than one might think when you consider the player we took with the pick.

Was talking about this last night. But if you look at who we got with those picks then the trades look even better. Eichel - Tuch, Krebs, Östlund Samson - Levi, Kulich

Why is he never thought of for the Selke?

Is a defender like Dobson worth that much? Especially with his contract situation?

Of course. But then you have to ask yourself, do you trust Adams to make that trade? I actually trust him to draft well. He, and his team, have hit recently. But we need 1-3 big trades to happen and I don’t trust this group to make the right decision.

While I’m not rooting for them to lose for a better draft pick, there’s one telling thing about your stance with this. You’re old and impatient. I get it. But having good drafts are important for the future of any good franchise. Especially one like ours where it’s difficult to sign free agents. Maybe once we become a perennial playoff team that’ll change, but until then, we need to build through the draft.

The boys are playing great hockey. We might have to start looking at players outside the top 10 if they keep playing this way.

What!?! Malenstyn can’t be that bad. Adams gave up a 2nd for him…. (Adams has got to go).

“ABOUT TIME”. lol

And I actually think the Sabres have done a pretty good job in the draft the last couple of years. Especially in the 1st. I didn’t like the Power/Rosen draft. But after that they’ve drafted well.

Yes. If we were 4th as opposed to 7. I do.
