Tbh, I think Quinn and Muel playing 70+ games will be a major factor to success this season.

The Leinonen pick is so alarming with what was left on the board. The Byram Joker pairing was so bad, I've never seen a shot chart that horrendous. This team needs to grow up and it starts in a front office that still makes dumb decisions.

if Catton measures under 5'11" and 170lbs at the combine, I think he slides.

He's different than Benson. Catton lacks Benson's tenacity, but most players do.

Catton is the most likely to slide down.

Thxs everyone. Know it's a random question, but was curious

Would an Edmonton v. Florida final be the farthest distance btw final teams ever?

I'm just perplexed by caring about this at all. Idk, maybe?

Yes but he has to agree to an AHL deal. Why would he when he can be a ufa? Lots of good skaters in lower leagues that go no where.

He's a lhd, he's behind at least 2 other prospect lhds. He's behind 4 nhl lhd (3 of which are signed until like 2031). He would be taking up a contract slot which doesn't really matter but still. What's the point? Hagels are rare, really rare. Stop hoping everyone is an exception, most are rules. This is such a non issue.

I don't understand the worthy angst tbh. He's small and fast. That's kinda it.

Can you at least spell his freaking name correctly? It's 5 letters for sake. Byram.

Why? He's not that good.

Joker and a 3rd maybe?

Benson is an outlier, we shouldn't compare or expect others to emulate him. He shouldn't have been drafted 13th overall but more like 4th. I think the only player that could fit that seconded bolded is Savoie. Rosen might be able to handle the 3rd line now I suppose. That said, Adams hoping and wishing on his lucky penny that some 20/21yr old prospect without NHL games shows up and is serviceable is the exact attitude that failed him last year. He should be addressing roster holes by adding bonafide NHL talent, not hoping some kid might if he wishes hard enough be useful.

When the Sabres add Pavelski and Johnston, let me know. Also, I think the OP's point was that the Sabres don't play anywhere near the type of game needed to win the playoffs. The Sabres are like wet tissue paper and the 4 remaining playoff teams are like tempered steel.

I think he is gritty and I don't feel he falls as much as you're saying.

Not to nitpick but you mean at 21 and barely at 22. Not 19 and 20. Quinn will be 23 in September. Unless you're talking about him in Rochester at 20

I all but completely disagree with your take on Quinn here. I look forward to him in 2024.

They like Krebs, they are good give him a good couple months at 3c before doing anything. Adams has basically said it. He's looking for guys to round out the bottom 6.
