Came here to say this. I would have signed Metsa and dumped Bryson. Metsa is at least a right shot. Honestly Buffalo needs to get rid of Samuelsson, Bryson, Clifton, and either Power or Byram.

Nightingale and Forton probably won't shut up about him being tall.

The draft is not weak at the top. It's more that it's not deep.

Benson Helenius Kulich Östlund That's in 5yrs tbc

What is Sebastian Cossa. Aka, who Buffalo should have taken.

I can't get away from Carbonneau. The only flaw is decision making but I think it's a product of the Q and his team. He's got the NHL game there and he's a chaos creator.

Define prospect for me and I can answer. Benson Kulich Helenius Östlund Would be my top 4 under 22

You want a good NHL piece in return, 9th OA, Rosen, and Samuelsson is actually an attractive offer. Rosen can't make Buffalo because we have better Rosens. You find a team (islanders maybe) that's going to do a little rebuild. You offer them 3 pieces for one and maybe that's enticing. Teams without Buffalo's prospect pool that are aging, will find a spot for Rosen. He's capable of being a 3rd line guy. Or you package 9th, Rosen, Byram, and go after someone bigger. Rosen is just another chip and teams will look at his AHL production and think "maybe he's a middle 6 guy outside of Buffalo"

KA lacks imagination and panics when plan A doesn't work out.

I wonder if Ruff tossed the idea of an advisor to Adams out. Sounds Ruffian to me.

It's so hilarious to me that Pegula is so incapable of leadership, instead of firing the obviously over his head not good enough gm, he's gonna with the "let's hire a GM for our GM" approach. It's cowardice really.

Byram is worth more than Mittelstadt

If we ran the Sabres, they would have made the playoffs at least once.

Terry Pegula is the reason, he took us here.

Good job conservatives, you voted for a guy who will literally be taking bribes from foreign governments but hey! At least he's arresting mayors and college students, so tough. I feel safer already.

I'm mildly convinced teams will see value in Samuelsson. He's big and teams love big defensemen.

I'd rather have his sister Meghan. She seems smart and well versed in the analytics side.

I'd trade up in the 2nd to get him. We pick 39th I think and I'd try to get to 34 if possible. Nestrasil gets a lot of love in some draft circles. He's the poster child of "big and growing into his body" and has physical.

Idk if he'll still be on the board, but yes. Very much yes.

The question is what assets of these teams would help Buffalo. That's the starting place.

There's your list.

Yea... smells like "okay, I'll give my boy until Christmas and then if it's bad, the "advisor" becomes gm"
