The pre draft presser they said it was all about how they rate the players PROJECTION longer term.  Adams and Co. must have really liked some specific projection (also character/compete which is high on their list for building culture).  We won't know for a few years.  I'm giving Adams the benefit of the doubt on this one until he proves me wrong.  Go Sabres!

 

That's why they drafted Quinn because they projected him highly.

Thanks for the reminder. We have to wait and see. It's not the end of the world.

Thank you! Adams robbed the Flyers, then hours later ruined the draft. ***** clown.

Did your dog die?

Rosen played about [edit: 5] minutes/game on a crummy Leksands SHL team. But Scouching has him at 5 chances per game. He'll get better. Is he a reach? Yes, a bit. But he's only low scoring because he was deployed like Rob Ray was deployed.

Tiny minutes this past season. But he goes to the net. He's 2-3 years away, but his instincts and game are in the right place. He's a JJ Peterka light. .... If we didn't have so many other needs, I'd like this more. But if he get to 185#, he could be really, really solid.

Even 185 is still small. This is the NHL. Not every player can be Martin St Louis.

no you don't. This organization needs to hit about 10 singles in a row before they start swinging for the fence.

They swung for the fence with Quinn.

I've decided I like her. She's cute.

Chicks named Emily usually aren’t cute.

Doesn’t make him the right pick there. I still think this was a huge mistake. Isak will likely be a mistake too. These aren’t picks the Sabres should be gambling on, with the state they are in.

Either KA is going to look like a gangster in a few years or we are staring at year 15 of a playoff drought. The safe bet was Rossi last year and one of the goalies or the Russian kid. 

Lucius was the right pick there.  Center depth, skilled, 6'1" can grow into his size.

I'm having deja-vu when it comes to Sabres GMs. Team is gonna suck FOREVER!!! I'm 53 and I might just be young enough to see the Sabres actually make the playoffs one year. Although, the way I've treated my body in the past, I'm not counting on it.

And then there are some who are quite a bit older who yet have a glimmer of hope that we'll be back in the thick of things.

No it's not, I've been a Sabres fan long enough to know how this story ends. It's like I've been branded with a big "L"

Wow.

If that's how you feel, then all the best to you. However, I have a feeling that this conversation may be revisited soon, and you may be forced to eat some humble pie.

My initial reaction is that this a meh draft for Buffalo. I like Power and Rosen but not with the other talent on the board. 

I have to agree with you. I almost think Adams was pressured into taking Power, just because he was the consensus #1 with all the pundits. Oh, and because Terry wanted him. 

As for Rosen.....quite the reach.

C+ so far
