dudacek Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Really? I go less likelyBecause they have their franchise guy? Sorta the same reason you don't want Stamkos? For me it's that playing with Matthews is going to be more attractive to Stamkos. Good players want to play with other good players. Guess I gotta start learning more now about Jake Bean and Charlie McAvoy Edited May 1, 2016 by dudacek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgang Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 TM was right to stay away. What a ridiculous process. Half the GMs (or their designates) were trying to figure out how to act. I should have drank more to make it more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Fix!!!!!! Unfortunately Eichel == Matthews. It's been said if Matthews was eligible a year earlier the Sabres would have a tough decision to make. I know plenty of people believe them to be equal, but I'm not buying it yet. He doesn't control the game like Jack does. And as for the bold, McKenzie and the scouts he talks to all believe Matthews would have been the consensus 3rd pick last year. Auston could become better than Jack, but I don't think he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I gotta start learning more now about Jake Bean and Charlie McAvoy isn't this the same argument as last year, that McDavid (and Eichel)would attract good FAs cause good established players would want to play with them? I doubt a player of Stamkos status is going to decide to go somewhere to play next to a rookie with no NHL experience...... So far all drafting those players has done is helped their teams possibly attract other college FAs whom they have played with Absolute shite. At least the Jets didn't get Matthews.why would that be so bad? I actually think it would have been good to see him go there over Toronto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I wonder if Edmonton dropping to 4 means there will be fewer defensemen for us to pick from than if they were taking a forward in the top 3, or if they'll just trade the pick.

SabresBillsFan Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I agree with Hamilton on this but having these top 3 players and 2 going to Canadian markets does nothing for the league to grow the game in the US. I was really hoping Arizona would have won #1. NHL will never learn that's why it's 4th or 5th in the major sports. well, that means that only the Canucks have to pass on Matthew Tkachuk for him to land in our lap sooooo I like that plan. Do that. I would be thrilled with Tkachuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robviously Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 If we don't trade that pick and have to take a forward at 8 I'm going to be pretty sad. If all three defenseman are gone by 8, we're going to have some awesome forwards to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Should have bit the bullet and traded the pick pre lottery when it had higher value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Allow me to vent. I'm sick of literally everything going perfectly for Toronto in their rebuild. We suffer through two full years of the worst hockey imaginable, lose both lotteries, and lose out on the best coach in the league at the 11th hour. They get the best coach, only have to endure one true tank year, win the lottery with their 20% chance, and their other top-5 picks look like studs, all while being praised for the "perfect rebuild" and having the entire hockey media establishment of Canada fawning over them. Then they have the audacity up there to not even talk about Eichel for the Calder, who 100% should be a finalist. And their fans continue to think they're the center of the hockey universe even though even though they haven't won anything since before the Sabres even existed. F the Toronto Maple Leafs. F their fans. F their media lapdogs. F Mike Babcock. F Auston Matthews. I hope he busts. I want Eichel to score a hat trick every single game against them while powering through the finesse prima dona afraid to go to college. If I were rich, I'd buy out the ACC every single time Buffalo played up there and personally bus up 20,000 Sabres fans. I didn't want to pay Stamkos. I really didn't. But now? F it, let's get him just so Toronto doesn't. And if he goes to Toronto? F him and I hope the blood clots end his career. F 'em all. The most insufferable fan base in the universe deserves misery. Let them think they're good, and let's knock their out of the playoffs in the first round every single year. Have fun winning with a bunch of offensive specialists who don't know they have a blue line to play within. F it. F 'em. Bring it. Sounded like Benning wants a defenseman. If Benning wants one of the defensemen, then I don't want whichever one he takes anyway. Because everything he does is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Why is playing with Matthews better? Why are you interested in Jake Bean? Players want to play with good players. Players want to go where they think they can win. Matthews improves Toronto's pitch in both categories. Murray marches to his own drum and I will not be surprised if he picks a player at 8 some people will consider a reach. I just pulled Bean as some one who might fit that profile.
