2025 NHL Entry Draft, Rounds 2-7

[Rasmus_]

Gastrin gone, oh well.

[DarthEbriate]

I do like Timmins....

... edit... (researched to confirm something)...   but it's another push out of salary for a RFA. Clifton's 3M too much, Timmins cheaper. It's the standard Adams approach.

Sabres trade 39 & Connor Clifton!

WTF was that.

Is this the same scrub that was scratched repeatedly for Toronto.

Any thoughts on Jakob Ihs-Wozniak?

Many but I don't think he'll be there later

I'll answer it for you, get ready to be underwhelmed.

One and the same! 

But, they're picking him up as 6/7/8 on the right side.

The key is --- spend the money! that they saved from Clifton. If not, then it's the EEE garbage continued. That's how I'll judge the primary piece in the trade.

Adams is a fraud, and this just adds another round in the chamber for me.  He's a cheap piece of ***** too.

It certainly does nothing to dispel the fears of EEE (until they trade for Robertson and extend him, or land a real UFA stud forward).

[DarthEbriate]

Ryabkin goes to the Canes. Immature, but talented.

You know, these moves that some are positioning as being cheap could very well be a means to clear space to offer a big contract. Let's keep in mind the entire Palm Trees narrative - the Sabres have dug themselves such a performance hole that they need to offer above top dollar to draw people in. 

I know that the popular sentiment right now is that Buffalo is cheap, and I hate to be one of those people who say "let's wait and see" but, as Camus advocated, we must rebel against life's absurdities and purposely adopt a tone of optimism.

Clearing space, but will they use it?  all the teams they're fighting for for the last playoffs spots have gotten better. As of right now, the Sabres have gotten worse

[Rasmus_]

Completely lost track of where I was, who are we looking at now?

We're looking to trade 71 for another EHL player

[DarthEbriate]

Nice video and all -- but your pre-recorded Tuch message as for the 2nd round pick. Manzi doesn't get to announce the 2nd round pick, and instead the 3rd.

 

Wait. Bedkowski shoots right? C'mon! Adams is just toying with us now.

[steveoath]

Moar RHD. And biiig. 

Honestly thought they were going to announce Vanek Jr.

^ This and Pegula needs to stop being a fanboy. The team has become an embarrassment since he took over.

Big RHD and nasty. Nothing wrong with it, less offense than sammy which is hard to do, but we alwys need more nastiness

We've done nothing but draft or trade for RHD.   There's addressing a need, and then there's KA, who will overdraft and trade because he's narrowminded to the point of this.

To be fair, there’s no competition to be had on the left side, nor will there be for a decade to come. 
 

Maybe this all comes back to Dahlin saying if we ask him to play on the right side one more time he’s going to demand a trade out. This is insurance 

[steveoath]

I like that Maceo Phillips kid that Calgary drafted. Was hoping he’d land with us.
