Dallas is firing Peter DeBoer

Marty suggested it would take a first and Kulich to get Robertson

Sounds like someone who would benefit from the NCAA next year

What are your thoughts on Carbonneau

He changed jobs and doesn’t do the physicals anymore.

Remember when the Sabres took Marcus Davidsson two picks before Jason Robertson.

It was made clear to the Sabres he would not sign a long term deal Necas was the Sabres consensus pick in the first round that year then Mitts started to drop-someone needs to write a book about the missteps of the Sabres Drought. It will surpass War and Peace in length

I couldn’t imagine doing another three years! All the power to you

He’s a RFA next summer-the cap is projected to increase to 104 in 2026-27 and 113.5 in 2027-28. Most likely DeBoer is gone first

Way too many. To make it worse I became a partial STH in 2017. Come to think of it I joined SabresSpace in October of 2011. Dammit the drought is all my fault!

It was a blur I maybe saw 10 out of 82 games a year if I was lucky. I was working a 27 hour shift in the NICU at Children’s Hospital when Drury scored against the Rangers. Another resident, who was a Leafs Fan told me about it 3 hours later

I was in med school and residency from 2001 to 2009, the only thing I remember from that time period was getting married and having two kids. And the only reason I remember those is they still hang around me

Reading this thread makes me realize I need to watch Game of Thrones and read/watch Lord of the Rings

Interesting read

Adams has been in the Bills Draft Room the first night of the draft the past few years

This was pretty much it. Adams, Crowe, Nightengale and Forton essentially were the front office

FWIW had Botterill not been fired, Rossi would have been the pick

The people who were responsible for drafting Savoie and more importantly the drafting of Benson, coupled with the Savoie for McLeod were not with the front office at the time of the 2020 Draft

Would you trade 9 for Rossi?

Jarmo has not shied away from smaller players in the past. The hard part is convincing the members of the front office who passed on him in 2020, that’s it’s not a bad thing to trade for him now

I think this is the biggest plus of Jarmo joining the front office. The existing staff is all on one year deals and people in that situation have a tendency to look out for themselves. Another problem with GMKA was letting the various factions in the front office each make a decision. I think JK will help limit that. We also can not discount the fact that JK was willing to make the big trade, he might be what Adams needs to push deals over the finish line

GMKA: He was also the only person who would take a position where they report to me. (Sarcasm)
