Even after we traded for him we later traded for Fuhr. You have to wonder how'd things go if had Andreychuk and 1st Rounder we gave Toronto.

Report Sabres preparing for An Additional Top Ten Pick
The Jokeman replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
To be fair Sam and Jack are two of the better players we've had through this whole tank situation. The problem was other guys didn't step up or got jettisoned out of there too quick and didn't get fair compensation for moving on from them (see ROR and Kane). Yet until we find a bonafide top end goalie we're not going anywhere. -
Report Sabres preparing for An Additional Top Ten Pick
The Jokeman replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Part of the reason the tank failed was we never found a goalie, which we still haven't. Ullmark might be good enough yet not sure I give him top 15 money just yet. I mean how many points did we lose because Lehner couldn't stop a shootout goal? That said the tank was designed for McDavid moreso Eichel. That said not sure even McDavid do us any better as guys like Okposo and Bogo not living up to expectations. -
Man, I feel old I remember watching his father with the Sabres.

Report Sabres preparing for An Additional Top Ten Pick
The Jokeman replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
As long as we aren't trading assets for Brind'Amour. -
I can agree with that. Yet I don't want picks and prospects as to me, we need to get back NHL talent back.
-
I agree, I don't mind losing Risto at this point but Eichel and Reinhart to me are keepers unless someone ends up giving us a top 6 player and more in return.
-
Yet if lose all those players what big name is going to want to sign here?

Report Sabres preparing for An Additional Top Ten Pick

If we traded Reinhart to Seattle then we better also have them taking Okposo or Risto in the expansion draft as a top 10 pick from and expansion team doesn't thrill me. As none of these kids bring to the table what Sam can in 2021. -
Even that's horrible, sorry I'm not a Jones fan at all.
-
Horrible move. If we make a trade with Seattle like that they'd need to take one of our horrible contracts too.
-
or some didn't pick a guy that doesn't exist, as it's spelled Beniers. Check the spelling on Matthew's last name.
-
Height? I'm not a fan of Power either, give me Beniers or a trade down and then my short list is Guenther, Eklund or Wallstedt.
-
I can't see the Isles letting Lambert go with all the success he's had. Larry Quinn back with the Sabres? Oh hell no. j/k
-
Yet we'd have to protect him in the expansion draft which could cost a better player. Maybe once the expansion draft is done I'd consider it but not now.
-
Nope I'd rather keep our #2 overall guys instead of trying to fix one that's broken.
-
No matter whom the Sabres pick none of them will be playing in Buffalo in 2022. As a result I don't think Beniers' ankle injury should be a major factor in not drafting him. To me he's the best forward in the draft and in the discussion of the best. I take him over any D-man especially ones (see Power) that are dismissed as #1 Dmen because a lack of offensive playmaking.

If Eichel is traded, what is your desired package?
The Jokeman replied to #freejame's topic in The Aud Club
The problem with LA as there's no guarantee their prospects be anything more. I want two top 6 forwards back for Jack. That's why think Minnesota a great team to look at as to me Fiala is great starting point since they seem to be strong at LW. -
True see Keith Gretzky, Wayne Primeau, Marcus Foligno, Alex Nylander and those are just some of the lesser brothers the Sabres drafted I can think off the top of my head.

Sabres win lottery: Wednesday June 2nd, 7pm EDT
The Jokeman replied to WildCard's topic in The Aud Club
If we trade Eichel and Sam we're in trouble, personally I want both here unless one of them brings two top 6 NHL forwards. Not prospects but bonafide NHL talent. -

The Jokeman replied to WildCard's topic in The Aud Club
He's the consensus top pick and am okay with him as could give us a #2C if Reinhart ends up elsewhere or shifts back to wing. -
The only way I take Dumba is if we move Risto somewhere else. I would consider Fiala, Dumba, Boldy and Rossi more equal.
-
It's not, I've said it before if Eichel is shipped for more than prospects and picks we can likely convince Sam to stay maybe a good winger or two to help him out.

I've already seen several of my favorites since was so late in posting. Yet I'm from Kenmore so my favorites growing up were Bocce and Franco's. Yet as a teen spent a lot of time on Hertel so ended up liking Bob and John's La Hacienda. At work in my late 20s I was introduced to La Nova. Then I started dated a girl and now married to a girl from South Buffalo and when at her place we'd do Imperial. Now in my 40s we live in Tonawanda and our go to is Franco's.

I agree when trading Eichel you likely won't get his production from one singular player unless we unearth another Forsberg like Quebec/Colorado did in trading Lindros yet that's why you try and get a combination of players to make a more complete team. I mean look at Briere he did produce at a higher level until he came here. It's possible Erikkson-El puts it all together and becomes a 1C here if not we still have Reino that might be coming into his own and a developing Cozens. Yet Erikkson is better than Mittlestadt and Fiala is better than Okoposo. Boldy could be than Girgenson etc.
