I'm not the biggest Owen Power fan but my mind could be changed as I would like to see how he plays under a veteren experienced coach.
Word
I thought he played poor way too many games. Bad giveaways. Not clearing players out of the crease. Looked lost over and over. Looked better the last few weeks but a no show earlier. Couldn't believe he got that contract instead of a prove it bridge deal. Dumb.

JJ playing for Germany again.
Oops..Weave and I are attending the same seance. BTW- his hands are cold.
-
I thought he was a head case 2 years back with long stretches of struggles. Last year looked like he was turning the corner. Then major regression this year. Was it no Quinn for most of the year ? The fight ? He needs a new coach more than anyone.

The odds on draft weekend is still WR day 1...but I'm guessing it may be shrinking if the draft doesn't fall their way.
Beane spoke today and said he doesn't see it as necessarily needing a WR 1.
Bills did have McMillian of Washington here today in OP. As I posted above, Washington has 3 pro receivers...Odunze, Polk and McMillian. They are all good with different skill sets. Odunze is amazing and you don't ever ignore your primary.

Craig Berube I don’t believe is coming to the Buffalo Sabres for a lousy $2 million dollars that Don Granato was making he isn’t coming here for $2 million dollars. Be glad that Lindy Ruff is interested in my opinion. Go Sabres! Let’s Go Buffalo
I don't believe they'll be lowballing any established candidate . That was unique to the unproven Granato in his first chance at HC.

Trade for what ? A 2030 6th round pick ?

Stats point to our expected top 2 lines scoring lots less than last season for various reasons ( Injury, poor play, etc. ) . Power play failed miserably. Digging first period holes regularly.
SabreSpace explanation - Blame the bottom 6 forwards and other non-factors. " It's Jost and the video guy Smith ! Who can't see that ! "

Adams is using a burner phone and Pegula keeps calling the old number.

Adams is very fiery. He is either getting this thing under control or he is spiralling. Either way the success or trainwreck should be entertaining.
I would prefer an absent Pegula. A highly involved Terry is bad for hockey in this town.
Howard Hughes ran everything over the phone.

Next HC - experience. NHL experience important.
Sticking up for absent Pegula.

I heard someone on WGR relating the tiering of WR prospects in this draft -- that there's some outsized number of WR's in the consensus top-100 -- way more than normal. And that made me wonder, for the first time, whether Beane might consider moving back from the 28th pick if it meant getting another top-100 pick. That way, he could take 2 WR prospects in Rounds 2 and/or 3.
I still think the better gamble is to move up and grab someone whom you really, really like. Otoh, you better damn well be right if you do that. (Which is why I sort of liked the idea of spreading risk across 2 less-heralded WR prospects.)
You and many others make good points. There are 3 at the top ( Harrison, Nabers, Odunze ) that will go in the top 10, according to projections. Yet my Ourlads draft guide has an insane amount of other WR's ranked as 1st-2nd round talents. That's why it's hard for me to feel like the Bills will miss out on a good WR. Washington had Odunze and 2 other top WR's in Polk and McMillan. LSU had a 2nd top WR in Thomas. Texas had Mitchell and Worthy. Many more listed high with real ability, not imagined. Background checks will determine a lot with who Beane likes. Culture and roster fit.
I just believe you make big moves up for a QB and some positional player that is rare, like Houston last year getting Will Anderson. Never say never but moving way up to get one of those supposed Big 3 seems like you're tossing away the next couple drafts for 1 guy. Bills have a lot of needs and a very tight cap this year. With Diggs off the books for 2025 and the first chance after 2024 to possibly cut Miller opens up 34 Mil in cap space for 2025. So taking your cap lumps this year wasn't the worst idea with the Diggs trade. He's a 1 year rental for Houston and that fetched us another 2nd rounder. Then Beane can really make moves next year. That doesn't mean the Bills are suffering this year. Not with Allen and the weapons Brady has on O this year. Not buying the created panic. That's media driven. Fans just regurgitate what they read.

There's a difference between who one thinks will be the next coach (voting above) and who posters want as the next coach.
I voted Appert thinking he's probably the favorite. I am currently not a fanboy of anyone.

The sheer amount of quality WR's in this draft is good for the Bills. I have little worry about finding 1 or 2 in the draft.
IMO, they already have a #1 Receiver on the team who they drafted in the 1st round last year..,. Kincaid. The winning streak started when Brady prioritized Kincaid, Shakir, Knox and Cook over Diggs and Davis. Now Samuel is here and more to come draft weekend. Is Allen still our QB ? Yes.. then I'm OK.
They also need other positional players, to the shock of casual fans obsessed with WR. Safety, Pass Rush and general depth. 10 picks. 8 on Day 3. I'm sure Beane will move around some as always and I never predict with any certainty what he will do. He watches the draft run it's course My baseless guess is he sits at #28 and may even trade down into round 2 for extra picks. (lacking a 3rd round pick after the wise CB Douglas trade )
Again, just me guessing... much like the local/national media and their fake/made up sources.
Have enjoyed ESPN's draft show First Draft with Field Yates and Mel Kiper. They have shown a ton of player film the last couple months. Very well produced.

Ruff liked to switch lines up every other shift. Not a winning formula unless he changed.
