Ya I mean if this is the do or die year for Adams, playoffs or canning, might as well let him have the coach he wants the most and that’s Lindy. We should get to see his full intended plan That Lindy is the coach it turns out I also really wanted is a nice plus

Things change fast when you lead your team in scoring an are your team’s best centre demonstrably, which he hadn’t been before. The biggest thing is the piece we dealt him for. It looks odd at first and the early returns were very poor. It’s worryingly looks like another potential “hindsight need not apply” blunder. We didn’t really need another second pair left shot D. I understand Adams doesn’t care about handedness and probably doesn’t think he’s a second pair D, but those aren’t my evaluations, personally

C. Mittelstadt up top there seems like a guy in the mold of the centre we should be targeting this offseason imo

There’s definitely a mental transition from earlier years where we were conditioned to think we needed to flood the system with prospects to emerge victorious by quantity. Once the system is more established the mindset necessarily shifts to utilizing said pool as currency The better you are at drafting the easier it gets over time. We don’t really need any more prospects yet we get a free 7 every year. With less holes to fill, that puts us in a much better spot than a few years ago once/IF we get the main club up to par and it’s getting closer

Good post. I think I agree with the conclusion of your “weird thing” at the end, too -
John-Jason Peterka, the Sabres current #1 LW, a season review
Thorner replied to LGR4GM's topic in The Aud Club
Is this just a goals thing though? It’s impressive regardless, and im not going to check them all, but we seem to be cherry picking a bit as im not sure I’d call, say, Point’s season similar. He only had 4 more goals, sure, but he also had 55% more assists Aho had 83 points. JJ had 50. There’s a sizeable gap there Tho, I’d imagine JJ probably played on an inferior squad -

Hopefully without the egregious diving McDavid and Draisaitl were sort of PP fiends eh -

And I feel like Benson is primarily a playmaker Edit - I see this has been covered But he is Ben Affleck I stand by that part -

Sorry, quote from Role Models. doesn’t mean anything -
This is the most I can ever remember the board being so nearly unanimously in favour of moving picks and prospects even the good ones. Definitely saying something.
-
So some good players there and Ristolainen.. not bad
-
I said it’s possible and we should do it, not that we will. Teams definitely treat firsts like gold

They both white, they both Ben Affleck -
Because 1st round picks are drastically overvalued Have you seen the movie Draft Day with Kevin Costner? It’s really good. If you watch that you’ll see what I mean not in terms of my post it has nothing to do with that, it’s just a really good movie, you’ll see
-
I’m calling shenanigans on that. Not for JUST a 1st, but considering where our first falls I think it’s easily the most expensive piece in a trade for a legit top 6 f

Did you say, “yes sir?” or was that “ya, sure.”? (We will ruin this thread lol)

No I usually read a lot into their media and have posted my theories on this a lot tbh I just am convinced it’ll be Dahlin here, I laid out my reasons upthread. if I’m wrong so be it. I just hope I’m not …go on?!

What do you think our first round pick is worth?

They can’t hurt us anymore than they already have, we’ll get through it together as an online family
