freester Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just something to get excited about, a big physical skilled LHD to replace McCabe. I think Bettman feels sorry for what the Sabres have become so he wills us the 1st pick in the lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob_sauve28 Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Looks more likely than not we get a shinny new defenseman to fuss over with the 1st pick, whether it first overall or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) I don’t think I would even take him 1st overall. And I don’t think I would want him in the NHL next season. He has a high upside but he is pretty raw. Also, he is really big, but not actually very physical. No mean streak there. Also, this should just be in the 2021 Draft thread.

He might not be the best draft eligible player on his college team if I'm being honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 I think we'll pick before Power gets picked. Unless we trade down. Or do something absolutely bonkers like trade our 1st unprotected to get Skinner off the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Beniers and Eklund go before Power, and possibly 2-3 others, too. So I'm spitballing ways we'd take him. I can see us taking him at 4 or 5 if we fall in the lottery. But without Eichel or Ullmark for a some more weeks, I think we're going to sink below some of the other teams at the bottom of the standings.

Pimlach Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 We all need to be writing Adams about dumping Hall at the deadline. Please do not re-sign him and add to the collection of huge mistakes we are still carrying - Okposo and Skinner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
