Let's see who is and isn't moved in the offseason. And the chances they'll get the pick right didn't change with their selection as the #1 picker. Not sure why winning the 1OA would be the source of such angst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I have reservations about Owen Power, who they will almost certainly take. If they take another player, I fully expect a decade of certain posters reminding everyone who they KNEW was going to be a better prospect.

Thorny Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 9 hours ago, Brawndo said: If Eichel is traded Anaheim with the 3rd Pick or LAK with the 8th Pick can bring a defenseman whose drop off from Power will not be significant. Granato had this team playing much better and over a full season they probably finish in the 25-30 range and end up drafting 8th the next two years, missing Kill me now. And yes, LA having the 8th pick practically guarantees the Sabres get it 9 hours ago, dudacek said: I'm of a mind that Adams has long desired Beniers; he's a poster child for Adams hockey. The "Sabres gonna Sabre" eruption on the internet if he takes him at #1 will be hard to take. I am convinced the Beniers will be a very good hockey player, the question is will it be Drury or Bergeron. Not sure if Power will be more Aaron Ekblad/Alex Pietrangelo in stature than Eric Johnson/Eric Gudbranson. Not sure if I trust the Sabres scouts to make that call. The reaction will be much worse online if Power is the selection, at least among Sabres backers. Twitter was not happy last night - this is the first time I've seen fans truly push that boundary of negative reaction - the fans are clearly, finally in "show me something" mode. Except for the ones touting a rebuild I guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless who goes, even in the top 5, are still few years away from NHL ready. wrong Power and Beniers are both proving at the worlds they could play in the NHL this season and contribute. I would want both to go back to Michigan and sign after their NCAA season is over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure how impressed I should be that a highly rated prospect, is better than him. I cannot fathom being as negative as you about everything. I hope in real life you have some joy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to the Sabres, the decade we've been through leads to situations where a lot of people end up mistaking "realism" for "negativity".

Buffalonill Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 1 hour ago, jsb said: Why don't we just have an old fashioned avatar bet with @LGR4GM with Beniers, @Buffalonill takes Guenther and @pi2000 takes Power and see who wins. It will make some of the back and forth from those guys worth the constant rehash of their views. Personally after the Quinn pick last year instead of Rossi it wouldn't surprise me if Adams takes Mason McTavish with the 1st pick this year. What I suspect will happen from the Adams interview yesterday was Jack is all but gone already and whoever we get in return will answer who we pick in the draft. As for getting Beniers with an Anaheim trade, I don't think he'll last to #3. Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAF Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Saw this idea elsewhere: Would you trade 1OA to Seattle in exchange for 2OA and the condition that they select Okposo? I probably would. I don't trust the organization to make the correct choice between Power and Beniers. Not only would this trade rid us of Okposo, but it makes the decision between the two far easier -- just select the remaining player at 2OA.

Okposo also had 10 points in his last 15 games after getting off the eakin black hole line - before matt irwin blasted a slapper off his face.

Trading for Eichel would mean trying to compete much quicker which means you keep your franchise goaltender. something like Eichel, Risto for Zegras, Comtois, #3, small add would be more realistic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
