Same reaction here, but the answer is simply He got a lot out of Afinogenov, why not Zegras?

So yeah.... what numbers do you think the new guys will wear? Zucker was 16, retired by Sabres (Pat LaFontaine). Zucker has only ever worn 16 McLeod was 71, last Sabre to wear 71 was Olofsson. McLeod has also worn 70 Malenstyn was 47, last Sabre to wear 47 was Malcolm Subban. Malenstyn has only ever worn 47 Lafferty was 18, retired by Sabres (Danny Gare). Lafferty has also worn 37, 24, 28 Aube-Kubel was 96, last Sabre to wear 96 was Anders Bjork Bjork Bjork. Aube-Kubel has also worn 62, 16 Zucker and Lafferty will wear have to pick new numbers Do you think any of the guys who can keep their numbers will change to something else? My guesses are: Zucker: 61 McLeod: 71 Malenstyn: 17 (I have a feeling 47 was assigned to him but who knows?) Lafferty: 28 Aube-Kubel: 96

Reports/rumors make him one of the best players available via trade right now, and Buffalo has been cited as an interesting trading partner. I don't see Kevyn giving more for Ehlers than he got for Eichel and the rumor is they want 4 first round equivs. Kevyn won't go that high.

But if no other GM is willing to pay that price, the price will come down.

At least we still have Live from Daryl's House.

They had a big falling out you know. Lawsuits and everything. The Cellino and Barnes of the music world.

To be honest, steady and boring is precisely what the Sabres need on defense.

Of course they want you to pay to read their "premium" content.

But insignificant.

Stop it!!! 😛

I was in a dark place at the end of the season.

He's a fourth liner according to Daily Faceoff. I like him as a player, but we just stocked up with other bottom sixers like him.

Doesn't redeem you. Sorry.

You could say having a wealth of prospects that are similar is a good thing: Trading Savoie had very little impact on our organizational depth at forward. I think that was me but I don't care. I'm rockin' a summer cold and it sucks.

To put it another way: If he had developed more quickly and had become our 3C himself, we'd be happy. Either way, the pick turned into our 3C (and another prospect to boot). I'm happy.

The player the Sabres got in exchange for Cole Hutson. That should clear things up.

I mean, he hasn't even had the customary double hip surgery yet.

Eh.

I'm sure there have been conversations between Appert, Lindy and Keyvn, as well as the scouting department. But again: 6 games is not a valid sample size.

Ppg in the AHL? He scored 5 points in 6 games. Not a ppg Ridiculously small sample size

Who cares? Get the best assets you can. They become trade capital. Why all the hand wringing? I think a lot of fans are too plugged into the NFL draft. The NFL drafts mature prospects that are ready or nearly ready for NFL play. The NHL drafts true prospects before a lot of them even need to shave and have to develop them into NHLers. Not everyone an NHL team drafts is ever going to play on the team that drafted them. They become assets that may play for the team, may be moved to another team to get a needed asset, or may not even pan out. Savoie is a good prospect but he still hasn't played more than handful of games in the AHL and in big tournaments has been overshadowed by allegedly lesser players.

And the reason Savoie is now EDM's best prospect is that their prospect pool isn't that great.
