Right, which is why his question only makes sense from a liquidity perspective and that doesn't seem relevant anymore (if it even ever was truly relevant) for reasons given upthread.

Save the Power selection, I think this was his draft, not Kevyn’s. And he certainly put his stamp on it. Most clearly calculated and interesting list of picks since 2012 in my view.

nfreeman Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 It should also be noted that he was almost certainly on board with the Reino trade as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams had said that Karmanos & Fortan were going to be running this draft, so expect you are correct. But Adams only had 5 picks last year & only 2 that were at spots that players actually have a chance to make the show, so we don't really know much about his philosophy other than he doesn't give C's additional weight over W's and whoever led this effort agrees w/ that. Edited July 25, 2021 by Taro T 2nd guy making decisions was said to be Fortan, not Ventura. Oooops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohicksie Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Most assessments of the draft by team are showing the Sabres with an A or A- rating, definitely in the top echelon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorner Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 Ya, I'd rather the grades be good than not obviously, but we know we can't rely on them as we've scored near the top of these types of lists and "farm system rankings" many many times in the past and not see a correlation with team performance.
