msw2112 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 The fact the owner of a professional sports franchise said that he likes the consensus #1 overall pick in the upcoming draft (if he in fact said this) is not newsworthy. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, what if the Sabres drafted Eklund 1st and, say, Beniers 3rd? If Terry were the tyrant you claim, then the Bills would have Patrick Mahomes instead of Josh Allen. I’d be ok with Beniers and Eklund. Both are high end talents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are okay with Terry “meddling” in day to day hockey operations? Why are you saying meddling in the day to day operations? Because reportedly he has opinions about players and prospects? The notion that he should be silent and not ask questions on million dollar plus decisions that he will pay for not only doesn't make sense but it is a weird notion to have. I just don't get it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbert11 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 3 hours ago, PerreaultForever said: In the earlier statement it also says he likes the Michigan guys. Probably just means they showed him some game recordings to see Power play and he probably went who's that guy pointing at one of the others or that guy, that guy looks good. It don't mean a lot, just that he likes the Michigan guys. They probably really want another high pick to get Beniers, as many others here do too, but I doubt they'd take Johnson as a top 3. If they did it's stupid. More likely thinking about him with a pick from Vancouver or LA maybe . At 8 or 9 Johnson would be an okay choice I think. So, is he good on the “power play”? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashsabre Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 It is fascinating that we here that they love all the Michigan guys and then we here that they value Eklund over any other forward. From two different Buffalo reporters. Why did this happen and what does it mean? Is it some sort of smokescreen for some trade negotiations? We’re they angry the Michigan tidbit got out and are trying misdirection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pegula favors drafting Power with the first pick he is joining the other 90% of the draft analysts who are recommending the same selection. What would be more odd is for the owner not to have an opinion on who to draft with the first pick. I don't discount the idea that the owner has an opinion on who to select with the first pick in this draft. And I'm not suggesting that the owner hasn't been instrumentally involved in some player transactions. But worrying about him ordering his hockey staff to do something that it doesn't want to do with the first pick is in my view is wasting energy. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Jaeger Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) I’m always skeptical of leaks. Dreger today.... where would he hear that? I’m sure he didn’t get it from Dubas or Burke. Likely suspect is Bob Murray, trying to drive price down. Why the Power, Michigan player leak by Vogl? Then the Eklund tweet by LL? Sounds like either deliberate misinformation by the Sabres. Or Vogl was accurate and LL was putting out counter information. Or..... both were from the Sabres. Why? Maybe they are shaping teams in the top 5, thinking they’re going to have a second top 5 pick. Lots of misinformation going on..... lying season. Edited July 1, 2021 by Der Jaeger 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stating our opinions about what the Sabres will or should do is wasting energy as well. I'm sure SDS appreciates all the wasted energy. And the insinuation isn't that he has an opinion. It is that he is using his opinion to direct his (presumably much more qualified) staff. Hopefully that's not the case here. Regardless, I don't really have a dog in this fight so I can't say I care to defend the point beyond the energy I've just donated to SDS's little empire.

Marvin Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 3 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: Power is the consensus #1 pick but now that Terry Pegula said he likes him, do we NOT draft him? Obviously. Because it appears to be the only way to make any fans happy, we had better not draft Power. GMKA's own birth pales in comparison to showing his independence from Terry by ensuring that Pegula didn't get what he wanted, no matter what the scouts think. I think this board has broken me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
