Settling for Singles and Stand Up Doubles, when triples or swinging for the fences is needed, has done wonders for them so far They shouldn't no. You draft Power in the teens routinely. 2 minutes ago, Brawndo said: Or this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamboni Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I’m so glad I’m not that ultra sensitive about what players and coaches and owners and GM’s say to the media. I think all of his comments are just heat of the moment snapshots. Nothing to “read between the lines” about or have a strong reaction to albeit positive or negative. In totality … yawn. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Just wondering: if we trade Eichel to Anaheim, do we try to get #3 this year or a 1st next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is probably #1 for 6 out of 10, that's not consensus just because tsn says so. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/nhl-top-15-mock-draft-sabres-position-take-owen-power-first-overall/ Yes he is. Sportsnet, TSN who talk to NHL scouts and NHL Central Scouting all have him number 1. Where StartUpOnlineScouting.com has him is irrelevant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with next year is that you have to make sure their is no conditions on it and I don’t see that happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely try to get the pick this year because teams can flip a switch pretty quickly in this league. It’s a later team you might target next year ... or both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've picked for position before recently and that pick was shortly moved out. Bills take the BPA. Worked for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power could play in the NHL but I see him, Johnson and Benier each playing one more year at Michigan. Hughes is the one that worries me - he could be the best of the draft but has a broken foot Power will still be 18 come training camp. Nothing wrong with 1 more season at Michigan. 43 minutes ago, Buffalonill said: Please draft dylan guenther i will never cheat on my diet again.

He's not that, he's on average 1st yes but consensus implies it's this settled conclusion and every person agrees. For the record, I like Power.
