PerreaultForever Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Owen Power is a good hockey player, and in time he may turn out to be the best (maybe) but at the moment it is looking like we blew the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really really like Beniers. I wanted the Sabres to draft him. I think he will cool down a bit though. He is shooting an unsustainable 23%, and the Kraken actually get outshot when he is on the ice. He is just on a heater right now, with 12 pts in the past 6 games. Before that he went 6 games without recording a point. Great player, but so is Power. Jury is still out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 A 19 year old defenseman who is eating up minutes and looks like he’ll be a guy who can be out there 30 minutes when needed and they blew the draft? Teenagers and the verdict is already in. 🙄 3 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) The age old grass is greener effect. I call shenanigans. There is a phenomenon as crazy as it might sound… Where both teams got good players. And no one “won the draft“. I just find that kind of conversation (at times) intellectually dishonest when someone tries to claim another team won/blew the draft.

Not a chance... the whole board is looking for Buffalo to have improved defense and you are on here saying the Sabres blew the draft. It's just trying to get a rise out of people. Do you really think Beniers would have been the better draft pick? Like drafting Power is "blowing" the draft. Even if Beniers was slightly better, which he's not, it would not be "blowing" the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Beniers was slightly better, which he's not, it would not be "blowing" the draft. Personally would've preferred Beniers, but they didn't go wrong at all w/ Power. They're shaping up to be able to consistently have a #1 D-man on the ice for 50 minutes/ game in a couple of years. Except for a 1/2 season of Tallinder elevating his game, they never HAD a #1 D-man. They've been able to get #1 C's, they'd never had a #1 D prior to Dahlin. Now there's a great chance they'll have 2. That's not a "blown" draft at all.

Even if Beniers was slightly better, which he's not, it would not be "blowing" the draft. "blew" was too strong a word, that's fair. My point is simply that despite having the #1 pick, we may have not drafted the #1 player. Power may still be that guy, but right now Beniers is way ahead. We have a history of doing that. Not getting the best guy at the time and sometimes really missing badly like Nylander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite comfortable that Power has a much better NHL career in the end. Put Beniers on the Sabres and what is he doing right now? No way he's having the same output as he's having in Seattle. It's a very different setting. There are a lot of teams who never get the best guy and a lot of teams who miss badly. The Sabres are not the exception there. But not a chance do I think Beniers is the best player in that draft... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 Myers waived by Tampa. Not spectacular but I think also an upgrade over some of what we have but whatever, KA will do nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I don't really think he was an upgrade; there's a reason he's been bounced around and was considered a pure cap circumvent asset based on his buyout.

Given the state of the Sabres I would not trade Power for Beniers straight up. Much more difficult to acquire defensemen than forwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kas23 Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 How about each team got what they needed and it’s going to work out for both of them. Is that allowed? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
