Well said! 👏

...and stupid owners/organizations hand out terrible contracts to one trick pony wingers. 👎

I think you could offer Skinner + 1 overall for a 7th round pick to all teams, and you would still have ZERO takers.

The giraffe thing is stupid. Always has been.

The owner(s) want to be kept informed, or they want to insert themselves into the decision making process over and over again? 😉

How sad is it, that the Sabres know they can take all the time in the world to hire a HC, because the guy they are probably going to “settle for”(Granato), isn’t exactly in high demand for any other NHL HC openings?

No he isn’t, and no he isn’t. 😎

Did the Sabres even bother to interview him?

I agree. 8x8 would be a new rock bottom.

I don’t ever remember hearing that comparison.

So if Beniers could easily be the next Holzinger, can Power easily end up being the next <insert name of dman over 6’5” who ended up being a bust>?

I’d rather it put the fear of god into Adams! 😈

Now that I have thrown my support to Beniers, I consider that to be the kiss of death, and almost a guarantee that the Sabres will draft Austin Power(s) instead.

The uncomfortable part is having to go against the Vegas players...not the idiot with a mic in his hand. 😉

Didn’t I say I’m a big fan of the team?

I love everything about the Vegas team...except for their obnoxious monster truck PA announcer. 👎

I realize there are no guarantees, but for a guy ranked in the top 5(and in a lot of cases, top 2) even in a down draft year, I would hope for more than a 30-35 point player.

You think his floor is lower than that? Where would you set it?

Sing along with me... 🎶Hit the road, Jack And don't you come back No more, no more, no more, no more Hit the road, Jack And don't you come back no more...🎶 😈

I still want Beniers. Worst case he ends up being a good 2-way 2C putting up 50-55 points a year. I’d be thrilled with that result.

The Bruins could not overcome the stank that Hall brings with him everywhere he goes.

So when do we get an update on Jack. Surgery? Further rehab? On the trade market? Did a 180 and loves everything Buffalo? etc...

I have only seen a few highlights of each, and what has been discussed here. My vote is Beniers. Nothing that happens between now and the draft will change my mind....except for a bizarre off-ice incident.

Trading him in-season is unlikely to happen...or will severely limit the number of teams who can fit $10mil cap hit once rosters get finalized as the season draws close.
