I'm not interested in waiting 5yrs for Bear or Martin when I can have Robertson. Robertson for Peterka, Martin, and Östlund wouldn't even give me pause. None I can see. https://puckpedia.com/team/dallas-stars

We don't agree. I think you're arguing a completely different point entirely.

It isn't rushed. You're confusing "this guy isn't ready but screw it! nhl now" with "this guy is ready and so is this other guy, too the nhl then" Rush versus Volume The Sabres aren't rushing players. Kulich wasn't rushed. Quinn, Peterka, Power, Benson were not rushed. Is it too many young guys? Maybe yea but those guys weren't rushed to the NHL.

Buffalo has more young players than other teams. They aren't rushed it's most teams don't add 2 22yr olds. So you're 1st part is literally what I am saying in the 2nd part. That's not rushing prospects, that's lacking older players. Not the same thing.

I'm sure it does happen but the majority get pp and good linemates. Buffalo isn't rushing prospects, it's simply we only have prospects until basically this season.

Don't agree at all. Teams top prospects aren't being put on 3rd and 4th lines.

I don't think Peterka, 9, and Östlund is too much. Adding Byrum is.

I'd trade Peterka and #9 and Östlund for him tomorrow without a 2nd thought. I'd throw in Byram too if needed.

Yea and Paul Hamilton was on there today lamenting how Buffalo rushes all their prospects to the NHL... like Power who went back to college or Kulich who spent 2yrs in the AHL just like Peterka and Quinn. They love stating ideas as facts. Usually the morning show is a bit better. Note: I understand it's talk radio so I get it's all this.

Terry is Denethor

Adams will run back UPL and Levi because he doesn't have his own ideas.

Fine but that's the reason they are good. The Bills could have won a superbowl (13 seconds) if McBean had been smarter. I don't really care about what Pegula did with the Bills. It's 10000000000000% irrelevant to the Sabres.

Almost guaranteed what Pegula will do regardless of outcomes. No accountability at the top of Sabrehood

Adams panic sold. No concept of what Reinhart was worth.

I'll always remember seeing the Reinhart trade and just thinking how stupid it was.

The Bills are good because Josh Allen.

Look his MBA isn't important. The fact Pegula decided to promote him with no support and Adams proceeded to build nothing for 5yrs is. It's just an easily avoidable self own because Terry thinks he's the smartest in the room and 14yrs of being wrong hasn't changed his mind.

That's true. Any degree doesn't mean you're good at the thing you got a degree in. Lots of dumb PhDs and MBAs in the world.

The Sabres fanbase is borderline feral at this point.

The mofo is in NY and doesn't use Empire State, nope University of Phoenix. https://sunyempire.edu/graduate-studies/business-programs/mba-business-management/

Trading 2nd round picks for nhl players is smart. Now Malenstyn might have been a bit stupid but Appert was all hot to trot but a 2nd for Greenway was good work. 2nd round picks have a 20ish% chance at being a 100 game nhl player.

“Any self-respecting GM who takes that job is going to say, ‘I have to be able to run this for you,’” said one former NHL executive. “I know it’s your team and I have to talk to you about things, but I have to be able to build a team and make decisions. If I have to run a simple (Henri) Jokiharju for a fourth by you, what are we doing here?”

"After having misguided Stanley Cup hopes the previous fall, Adams embarked on Buffalo’s latest rebuild. One source described the situation in 2021 by saying, “There was no plan.”"
