Mrtka is fine.  He'd better trade Byram for a forward.

Nobody we drafted at 9 was going to dictate trading or Keeping Byram. These kids are 3+ years away from being Sabres

I don’t have faith in Adams getting an equal player back

KA isn’t exactly a guy I’d trust to judge a good offer or anything really.

Okay. I'm going to watch The Bear. You all carry on.

[MISabresFan]

Maybe he will be the next Zdeno Chara!

Its going to happen regardless.

[Thorny]

Jack Quinn is the highest drafted forward (8th) on the Sabres roster. No other top 10 pick forwards.

[Turbo44]

He reminds me of the guy we just traded for just 4 years behind

Pick was immediately criticized as a reach and not making sense by the ESPN coverage.  That did not happen with any of the other picks that were made.

Well then espn is full of ***** because their big board was 1. McQueen 2. Mrtka

6 years behind

[Flashsabre]

Kesserling, Mrtka, Strabek, Kleber, Komarov.

The big RHD box is checked for Buffalo

Kid is massive and can skate. Sportsnet said he really has never been coached up so he has a lot of untapped potential

Mrtka will make the Sabres just in time for Dahlin to request a trade. 😂 

[ASlugAbove]

I can’t believe watching this we drafted a player 2nd overall who had 300 pts in 6 years on a ***** team and we said “no thank you” to a second contract LOL

Now we need a right gloved goalie to help levi out..

Love the pick!

Kid is a stud has grown man strength already.

Probably needs only one more year of junior... or maybe starts the season in Rochester since he's a Euro like Helenius last season.

[thewookie1]

Well he's a fine prospect I guess; just more of the usual disappointment in Sabreland though

He didn’t look overly excited. I don’t think this puck helps this team in any way for the foreseeable future.

Even my wife noticed that. She said he doesn't seem as happy as the previous picks. I said to her, "why would he be?" I think he was surprised that the Sabres chose him. I think he gave the Sabres "The Tim Murray" when they called his name. By that, I mean the same look Murray had on his face when McDavid was taken by Edmonton and Murray had to take Eichel instead.

[Thorny]

He’s a long way away, very unfinished. The one thing we do best- coach our young players

Play to yer strengths 

[Mr. MVP]

I’m gonna hate that McQueen lasted to Pitt.

He's like Josh.

I think it’s more his English isn’t good.
