One of the best and greatest values is that when you have a player drafted first overall they provide such a value to their pair you can expend assets elsewhere. What we did however is trade our best left winger and most valuable trade asset to supplement that pick’s pair

A lot of people loved the deal at the time, too, there’s also that We had been begging for a prospect for player trade It’s funny - the deals the fans like are good, who knew

Benson - Kulich - Thompson Quinn - Norris - Tuch Zucker - McLeod - Doan Greenway - Krebs - Malenstyn the forward unit as of today. Byram - Dahlin Power - Kesselring Samuelsson - Clifton UPL Levi

You know what I meant

I saw it mentioned just as a theory by a good sabres twitter source that Bolduc would be the guy we get from STL for Byram and I honestly can’t unsee it now. It’s the exact Adams F add My money is on that shoot first, quick, ratio of 19 goals to 17 assists..this is going to be our guy

Well now I DO have a problem with it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention

You only like Peterka more than average around here since yesterday at around 11 pm you’re good

Wait what’s my issue with Gordie Howe hat trick

He definitely has a type.

I literally haven’t heard of him till today but the sabres acquired him so, would I be right in assuming he’s a shoot first player?

Bump

Well the good thing about less talented and good players is we don’t have to pay them as much (I’m sure that’s coincidental) That they are inexpensive is neither a reflection of their value nor the reasons we traded for them. PURELY coincidental

I wonder if the priority was getting the best return possible We’ll never know

Heck of an oxymoron well done

It’s a good place to start re: prediction for a Byram deal. Think player with good metrics in more limited minutes we think we can bump up to a larger role Remember: we aren’t looking for a guy with proven results, here: we are looking for someone unproven in an impact role but theoretically potentially able to play one

Banking on limited usage and hoping it extrapolates is what the Sabres do. So lazy. Just horrendous mechanics leading to this deal you know what, I’m starting to think there’s a at least a *chance* Kevyn Adams might not be a great general manager

Gross malpractice lol

McLeod is pretty well rounded but so is Rossi I believe. McLeod had 23 points the same age Rossi just had 60 So I’d imagine Rossi’s ceiling is quite a bit higher considering he’s already passed mcleods career outlier I don’t really think centres or passers are something Adams is interested in

He’s a centre, he’s 23, and his career points trajectory so far is 1-40-60

Friedman on the Fan 590 is adamant ADAMANT that Kesselring was a guy Adams was specifically targeting, and one league person told him earlier this summer “if one guy moves it’s Kesselring to Buffalo” so Adams focused on him as the guy we needed and traded what we needed to get him

So would you redo this trade given a chance given you said you wouldn’t do it for less than Robertson?

How do the players we got compare to Robertson in your estimation? total value
