The opportunity to draft x player is worth the asset. Should x player develop, it’s indicative of our poor drafting and not our poor deadline management. Lol he’s trash why would anyone trade for him?

Prediction for our second round pick—multiple posters will get really excited about a “legit” prospect that somehow has fallen all the way to the Bruins pick. The Sabres will pick someone else. Board will erupt about how bad we are at drafting before our 25% chance ever laces up but won’t acknowledge that the second round pick for Hall was worthwhile.

For the record this FA class couldn’t get any deeper in respects to LW. We will have plenty of opportunities to overpay for one again.

and Lazar has been a 13th forward or an AHL player throughout his entire career before Buffalo, where he was still often the 13th forward. Also, so young players like Mitts, Tage, and Asplund can climb our depth chart but a young player like Bjork can’t?

Hutton isn’t under contract. There are plenty of good goaltenders who are free agents.

He’s a 13th forward. Even on next years Sabres roster, if he’s anything more than a 13th forward we are cellar dwellers again.

I had no idea so many posters had eyes on Bjork for so long to already write him off.

Just imagine how great our third line will be when we put out Tage, R2, Mitts, Asplund, Olofsson, and Bjork at the same time. Nobody is going to be able to stop that.

Curtis Lazar is a 13th forward on a playoff team. Bjork has been a bottom six forward on a playoff team. Hall takes his roster spot and Lazar is scratched for the rest of the season until someone goes down. Yeah, I would have liked a first for Hall. But people value our players way more than they should.

There is no reason to not claim him. I’m not holding my breath on it though.

You really believe we are one player away? In the absolute best-case, everything pans out scenario we have: Skinner (maybe)-Eichel-Reinhart gaping hole-Cozens (maybe)-gaping hole Asplund-Mitts-Tage Girgs-small hole-small hole Lazar I’d much sooner bump a third line winger down to the forth so Olofsson can play on the third line than move any of that third line or Victor up to the second. Like I said, it’s great we look better but we have a ways to go. We have one win against a team slated to make the playoffs and that was back in January.

The optimism lately reminds me a great deal of the optimism from the beginning of the season with a more or less unchanged roster. We are still not a playoff team. If the ATM line is our solution to a third line and Cozens can play 2C next season competently, we are still missing 33% of a top-6 and bottom-6, and 100% of a goalie tandem, with work still to be done on the defense. It’s great we are looking better, but we have a long way to go.

So easily bypassable?

Is Nolan Patrick ever going to be Nolan Patrick or have his migraines pretty much ended him?

@LGR4GM wasn’t Bellows your boy? What’s he up to these days?

But I’ve been told for two years now that Victor Olofsson can’t play RW even though he’s all shot and there’s more space to shoot on your opposite wing. What is Granato doing?! Does he even read the board?

The only way drafting isn’t our biggest issue is if the bigger issue is development.

Their #1 is one of the most injury prone goalies in hockey.

Man, some people on here are very clearly not baseball fans with their befuddlement about team control.

Not only that but he was front page news in Buffalo multiple times for being arrested for child support for his children in the area.

Aka the ass to magnificent line?

Pfizer. I’m feeling perfectly fine this morning though, just a 24 hour bug.

Got my second shot yesterday at 8am. Felt fine until around midnight when I woke up with vomiting, nausea, cold sweats and a fever. Starting to feel better now but still not doing great. The vaccines side-effects have been significantly worse than when I had Covid.

They aren’t they are both AHLers

I also wanted Chychrun, I really didn’t know much about Sergachev and was really disappointed after how Chychrun started. Didn’t know he was playing well but glad he’s found it. I got to see him quite a few times in the OHL and it was always a treat.
