It should be a great place for the Sabres to be relative to moving 2-4 of the top 12 or so in deals for actual NHL players. This is needed to augment the younger guys (Power, Benson, Cozens, Quinn, JPP, Krebs, R. Johnson) who appear to be NHL players but don't know the way to sustained excellence yet. Will Adams be willing to part with any of his precious prospects? Aside from Benson, and maybe Levi, these guys are all still more or less lottery tickets as opposed to sure things.

They don’t seem to grasp the concept.

I don’t know what ‘deserved’ means in this context. I love Benson as a player. Glad he’s in the organization. i was just hoping for a playoff team, not a development opportunity for an 18 year old.

WTF is he waiting for ?

Tripping a guy in the offensive zone behind the net is inherently a bad penalty in my book. It was accidental for sure…because he’s not ready to play the NHL level of physical game yet. Which isn’t his fault it’s Adam’s because he was unwilling to sign a vet forward or two.

An example of Benson not being physically developed enough yet to hang in the NHL leading to a bad penalty.

I guess a first step towards more meaningful renovations is better than no steps.

Don’t respond…pretty sure it’s an AI post

At least he didn't wait until the jumbotron fell to replace it!

But on the Southern Tier of NY it’s Horseheads, not Horse Heads.

Satisfying

Whatever happened to just skating in hard and sniping it?

Sweet!

Now I’d run their goalie again. Make it count.

Okposo, Girgs and Robinson get caved in…shocking.

Krebs is a perfect example why the ‘let it ride on prospects’ approach doesn’t work. You need some established players to augment whatever prospects actually make the cut. Krebs is just the next Tyson Jost.

No shortie allowed! staying positive…

Ray ‘you almost want to see Power finish him’. Yeah, no kidding Rob. We’re all waiting.

Went to Tommy Emmanual last night with the wife. He's turning 69 this year and still the most amazing guitar player I have ever seen. Puts on one hell of a show, anyway.

And now he has fewer assists than Clague!

CBJ must have really wanted that 6th rounder to agree to Nylander as well.

Ok, @Pimlach

This is disturbingly similar to those moving portraits on the walls in the Harry Potter movies. Imagine having a life like Granato portrait on your wall at home? Scary.

9 years as Columbus GM. 5 playoff seasons in 9 years but nothing recently. So with zero playoff appearances how long does Adams get?
