I don’t like that Vancouver trade at all. Taking on the Meyers contract should be good enough to move down 2 measly spots. We shouldn’t have to additionally throw in Olofsson plus retain half his salary. If they insist on Olofsson, then they take his whole salary and give us Meyers while retaining half his salary.

From Matthew Fairburn 

 

4. Adams and his staff were busy this week interviewing draft prospects during the NHL Scouting Combine. It’s always best to not draw too many conclusions from the specific player meets, but the Sabres did draft a few players they met with this time last year. So here’s an incomplete list of players the Sabres met with this week and their rankings on Scott Wheeler’s latest board.

10. Matthew Wood, RW
12. David Reinbacher, RHD
14. Eduard Sale, LW
16. Axel Sandin Pellikka, LHD
17. Colby Barlow, LW
18. Quentin Musty, LW
32. Etienne Morin, LHD
41. Oliver Bonk, RHD
77. Gavin McCarthy, RHD
85. Jakub Dvorak, RHD
Unranked: Sawyer Mynio, LHD

7 of these 11 are Dmen, safe to say the pipeline will get a few this year.

Wood giving the “vibes” Adams ears must have perked up😁

My only concern with Wood is how he scored in college and his skating. Wood needs to really increase his agility to be like Tage. Tage has excellent edges and Wood simply does not.

Why does how he scored in college concern you?

Wood scored quite a few PP goals in college because he has a cannon of a shot. That's fine and all but getting fed one timers at the circle is not something that impresses me overall. My other issue is his skating which needs to improve quite a bit. His short area burst and his edges are below average IMPO. At 13 I would rather get Musty I think over Wood. Wood has the better shot but Musty has the better everything else and both still have some size.
