Derrico Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Foligno is physical as well.......... :beer: Ok good point. Outside of those two. I'm including our current top 6 as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFansR_Crazy Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Yeah, but those were BORING. I'd rather have a flashy night than valuable prospects. It's all about the now. :thumbdown: Spoken like a true American looking for immediate satisfaction. Those five previous picks make me feel a lot better about this kid.

Derrico Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 They've drafted quite a bit of physical players in recent years. They're going to need skill to go along with it. I'm talking forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksabre Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Speaking of RW, am I the only right-handed person in the world who doesn't play pro hockey that feels more comfortable on the right side. I prefer the right side as well because I'm awful at receiving passes on my backhand. I like to work down low though, so my preference really only matters during entry. Once I'm in the zone I'm happy anywhere so long as someone is going to the net if I'm not already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFansR_Crazy Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 So who would the Sabres had to have given up to pull off that trade for Brent Burns? edit: sorry mods, meant to post this in the non-Sabres confirmed thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I'm talking forwards. And that's exactly where they've been drafting the bigger physical guys. Outside of McNabb, the blueline picks still have revolved around very strong skaters first and foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 How does trading up for a center help this team today? Great, they would have moved up to get a marginal prospect who is at best 3 years away. This draft is not going to help this team. They need to improve through free agency and established players on the trade market. As for Boston, I just can't take a tough guy named Dougie serious. Because we took a winger... another F'n winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Because we took a winger... another F'n winger. Look at the prospect depth chart. There's very little there. You don't draft based on your NHL roster. At least 50% of this current team will be gone by the time Armia reaches the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 This board is the only place that doesn't like this pick. Not saying I don't like the pick, I just think that we have a ways to go with selecting tougher players and two years of drafting these type of guys is great but we can't stop there. I know it's only pick one and obviously haven't seem him play live but I hope they don't revert back to the max days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and Arnia isn't the worst pick in the world, but given Marcy has had so little creativity, he banks on one deal, then he doesn't do his final homework on to come through and doesn't have enough clout, connections, respect or whatever to pull off something more creative. Even shipping the number one to someone for a badly needed center as has been beaten to death in previous discussions. Or moving up to grab one of the centers that is in the draft. The Sabres don't have a number 2 and that gives them very little wiggle room. So we are going to have to watch Hecht or Boyes play center on the second line next year....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many teams made moves in these last couple days 6-8? By your logic, this is going to be the slowest offseason in NHL history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 For the Sabres at this rate it will just be another in a series of good enough off seasons with not enough to make it to the Stanley cup dangling progress. Pegs said he wanted a Stanley cup. So far I am not seeing it out of Darcy. Demand excellence and then not be satisfied with it and certainly don't settle for mediocrity.

North Buffalo Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 This is what Marcy should be doing: Blockbuster: SJS trades Setoguchi, Charlie Coyle and 1st pick (No. 28) to MIN for Brent Burns and a 2nd rd pick. #tsn [via Twitter] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 As for drafting tough hockey players, your first round selection(s) will obviously make the largest impact and here they are: 2008: Myers - big and has begun to become a physical player Ennis - Skilled, little physical upside 2009: Kassian - Physical force 2010: Pysyk - Known for many things but one drawback is that he is soft 2011: Armia - One of his main negatives is his competitivness We only had one second round pick in the past three years (Adam) so I'm not sure how the high end guys are really known for their physical play outside of Kassian.

I've been one of the biggest Darcy advocators on here but I really expected him to be very active this weekend. Ya he tried but we've been hearing that for years. I'll wait until a week into free agency to get on his case but I'm pretty disappointed thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't funny two years ago when you didn't come up with it, and it isn't funny now. I feel like I'm reading a note being passed between 3rd graders.
