Crusader1969 Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Is it mildly interesting that Adams was at the Sabres game last night and not with other GMs at the prospect game ?? Kinda weird, in that Kitchener isn’t too far from Buffalo I’ll have to guess Buffalo had a bunch of scouts their in his place and other upper mgmt people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 JBOT didn’t care about the CHL but KA cares so I don’t know. They may end up with 3 guys from that game in the first round. Maybe he doesn’t put much weight on an all star game. Maybe he just wants the spreadsheet from the analytics staff. Maybe it was his wedding anniversary. I got nothing.

It might be as simple as they had booked Adams to be an on air interview during a national TV game. I mean I’m sure he can youtube it.😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Speaking of size mattering, 6'3" Jiricek is gonna play in the world's hopefully This is good because we'll see Jiricek again before the draft. Love his game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 Sorry for the consecutive posts. I'm narrowing a little on Nazar because I think players like Cooley, Nemec, and Savoie will be gone by #7 Jiricek would also be an option at 7 and I love that guy. He plays mean but is a little raw. He's a bit risky but he's playing pretty well against men and with a bit of refinement could be a beast on the right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas23 Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 I hate the concept, but we should go with BPA except for LHD. We the player the scout think will turn into an elite player, don’t care if it’s RHD or forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 So different watching men's league highlights compared to juniors. The speed and power in the men's league is such a higher level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly because I feel their value will fall due to the actions of one person. Considering the Sabres are in a better position than most teams in this region and many teams just won’t want to take the risk, I would hope one would drop to our 2nd or 3rd 1st rounder. Swing for the fences with one of those and play safer with our top 10 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great draft for some teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres draft 8th and the board falls that Savoie, Jiricek And Nazar are all available. Who are you stepping to the podium to select? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savoie right now is probably the biggest chaos creator of the 3 so him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 Shane Wright with 3 assists in a win last night. Cementing his status plus leading his team to success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted March 26, 2022 Report Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Brad Lambert is going to be our pick in the 8th slot. (Note the Sabres currently lie 7th, but only a win away from overtaking Chicago for 8th) Current standings (that matter) Det (9) 64 gp 26 W - 31 L - 7 OT/SOL for 59 pts 23 ROW; 2-7-1 in the last 10 Chi (8) 65 gp 24 - 32 - 9 = 57 20 ROW; 4-5-1 in the last 10 Buf (7) 65 gp 23 -33 - 9 = 55 20 ROW; 6-3-1 in the last 10 Phi (6) 65 gp 21 - 33 - 11 = 53 21 ROW; 4-5-1 in the last 10 Ott (5) 64 gp 23 - 36 - 5 = 51 22 ROW; 4-6-0 in the last 10 NY (4) 64 gp 23 - 36 - 5 = 51 21 ROW; 4-6-0 in the last 10 The Sabres are 4 points from 9th (worst record) and 4 pts from 4th (worst record). Depending on how teams play down the stretch we could easily slip down the standings. However, I think the odds favor us moving up the standings as we seem the only bottom echelon team moving in a winning direction although none of "competition" is playing badly other then Det. SJ at 10 has a 9 point cushion on us with 64 pts. We aren't making up 9 points in the 17 games remaining. If things ended today, Fla's pick would be 31 and LV's 16.

How do you square his potential character/personality issues with Adams’ apparent ultra focus on good people and team harmony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "character" issues I've seen mentioned, but I have yet to see anything specific other then he has changed team a few times. Which prospect from outside NA hasn't. His 5 points in 2 World Jr games clearly illustrated that the potential is there. The article I read about him changing teams is that the first team expected a 17 year old kid to lead a men's league team. Not exactly a way to help a young player develop into his potential. It's like giving a C to a 19 year old in the NHL. My guess is you put a kid like this on a team with strong leadership like Tuch, KO, etc.. he'll become a real asset.
