Mr. Allen Posted 6 hours ago Report Posted 6 hours ago 33 minutes ago, Eleven said: Picks in the upper level of the second round have about a 30% chance of playing 100 NHL games. The fact that some of them "hit" does not make the numbers game any different. The Sabres traded a 30% chance for a 100% chance (since Timmins already has played 100 games). So 30% chance? I mean, at that rate, why even take a chance at drafting? I guess hockey shooting percentage is usually around 10%? Why even take a shot? Baseball hitting rate would be great at 30%. But, but you might not as well even swing the bat. You can go out there in free agency and find guys that have played 100 games to play for your team for almost nothing. That’s all Timmons is. There’s players like him on the streets. The guy is garbage. At least not worth a 2nd round pick. Take a shot. At least try to draft the next Peterka. Don’t throw it away for guys like Malenstyn and Timmons. 1 Quote

mjd1001 Posted 6 hours ago Report Posted 6 hours ago I think I was one of the few people on here who liked Clifton's game. However, I always got the impression he regretted signing in Buffalo big time. Quote
LGR4GM Posted 6 hours ago Report Posted 6 hours ago "Kevyn Adams needs to trade picks and get bigger and tougher!" Sabres fans "What!? He traded a 2nd round pick! Why!?!?" Also Sabres fans 5 1 1 Quote
Brawndo Posted 6 hours ago Author Report Posted 6 hours ago There is a few instances later in the season where Dahlin was looking to move the puck and Samuelsson was wide open to receive the pass. Dahlin chose an alternate option in almost every case 1 1 Quote
mjd1001 Posted 6 hours ago Report Posted 6 hours ago So, was Timmins a guy who would 'want to be here', from St. Catherines so he's 'coming home' and maybe grew up a Sabres fan? Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted 6 hours ago Report Posted 6 hours ago Meh, still not enough for this team to get over the hump. I'll keep waiting patiently and hope to not be disappointed. Quote

I won't disagree. I will say this team has an entirely knew rhd core to start 2025 with Docker, Kesselring, and Timmins Quote

He’s the Jerry Jones of hockey who is in way over his head. Hire a proven GM and move Lindy Ruff upstairs! This thread regarding this trade is not really the place for this tantrum. Quote

mjd1001 Posted 6 hours ago Report Posted 6 hours ago Any chance that Timmins is the guy who ends up skating most of the time with Power? Quote
elijah Posted 6 hours ago Report Posted 6 hours ago We’re complaining about this trade too? A big RHD that’s strong analytically, a need on the team, for us to dump Clifton’s cap and attach a 2nd? Adams made a solid trade here but I guess there’s just no winning when you’re staring down year 15 Quote
