LGR4GM Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 The Sabres have 4 guys in what they think is the middle tier that could be available for their pick according to this video. Sounds like they had a list of 15 players they were looking at and had the scouts break them into the tiers. (This is in regards to #8 overall) "Fit a criteria of what is a Sabre and fit the analytics" - Kevyn Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 What I like about Adams thus far as he has said repeatedly or asked repeatedly for tape on guys. He wants to watch the picks we might take at 8. He watched tape on Staal. I am sure other GMs do all of this but I am very encouraged how much that is a focal point.

I'm sure it works pretty much this way in every organization, but it did come across nicely in the video. Proper delegation and trust in your staff, but not over-delegation.

bunomatic Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Has Adams said what the prototypical Buffalo Sabre is going to be under his watch ? What exactly are they looking for ? What type of team are they looking to build ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Dokken Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Still from the last minute of the Embedded video. Some of it is too blurred for me to make out, so here’s my Mad Libs version: “A Buffalo Sabre is an athlete that is (something) on and off the ice, driven to grow and (something) in whatever challenges and adversity are presented. Through grit and mental toughness, a Buffalo Sabre will be unselfish, resilient and (something), with the goal of winning a Stanley Cup Championship.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said something to the effect that every Sabre prospect has to be competitive on the ice and focused on self-improvement. Beyond that, their skillset can manifest itself in many different ways and that's fine, although they do pay attention to projecting the kid into "an NHL body" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Buffalo needs a certain “type” of player, but they need players who work hard on and off the ice, and play with intensity.

PASabreFan Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Wow, that is some drivel. There aren't enough eye rolls/eggplant emojis/animated turd gifs for any pro athlete under the age of 27-ish. Poorly written, cliché-filled, useless rubbish. A friend of mine sent me that and I refused to believe it emanated from the Sabres front office. I should have known better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
