He certainly won't make-or-break the Sabres and his contract is a tad high...but if they are going with a super-young roster this year, I think he can be an important piece. Not to mention, he is like 4th or 5th on the team in even strength goals when he plays, and does it with less minutes than most other players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly won't carry 9+ into the season. This is why I'm thinking they may not take one of our defenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And he'd get them to the minimum pick floor.) But I doubt Buffalo would give them any sweeteners to take him; his cap hit is no longer all that constricting.

Radar Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 This is exciting and we get to watch tonight to see how many the "insiders" missed on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Does Seattle taking all of these D-men mean they don't think they'll get Power, or maybe they don't like him even if he's there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd1001 Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Actually, I kinda prefer this process of 'leaks' to the ESPN show tonight. I think i'm having more fun following the leaks and seeing the reaction and discussion now than I would be tonight. I'm pretty sure ESPN will drag out the broadcast and turn a lot of it into something most of us would roll our eyes at.

DarthEbriate Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Listening to Seattle sports radio... which I don't normally do, is fun today. They're trying. But they're not hockey people and even though they've had a couple years to get ready. But they don't know any names, they don't know any pronunciations, etc. It's a bit silly. But they seem genuinely excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd1001 Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) While this is interesting, I hope we don't have to wait long for any Sabres trades. Trades are what will REALLY get some good discussion going on this board....especially if they get another first round pick before the draft. That would add so much to Friday nights draft.

But they seem genuinely excited. I would have thought a lot of people in Seattle would be a lot more knowledgeable by now. They are SO close to Vancouver. Just as we can get games out of Canada here (hockey night in canada) I would think they can also. I mean, Seattle and Vancouver aren't that much farther apart than Buffalo and Rochester are (a little, but the northern suburbs of Seattle are just over an hour away from the suburbs of Vancouver.)

LGR4GM Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 there's only about 4 teams that haven't had their picks leaked and Buffalo is one... because of course we are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
