I thought I saw a recent post where he mentioned Granlund as one of the players. I very well could be wrong though.

There's a little more to it but, you get the idea.

First.... I'm not upset. In fact it is you who most often in your posts that seems to get an attitude. I actually like getting in to conversations with people who are soooo adamant on their opinions and use stats/facts to advance that opinion. Sometimes it can be quite a learning experience and other times it can be outright fun. Edit: sorry, quoted the wrong post because I was going to respond to this one too.

That's the biggest problem. I say the sky is royal blue. You say...so, you're equating the sky to the new uniforms. No, I'm saying the sky is royal blue. But you're on the Sabres board, you must be implying it's the color of the Sabres uniform. I said the sky is royal blue. You say...they'd look better on Winnipeg because Laine.

But you're soooo good at that.

Did you read the bolded part I just edited because it didn't copy the first time?

Here's a snip from Hockey Writers mock draft I just found that might explain my laugh... 8. Buffalo Sabres: Anton Lundell, C, HIFK (Liiga) Scouting Report: Anton Lundell – 2020 NHL Draft Prospect Profile THW Writer: Jordan Deshane The Buffalo Sabres make a pick in Anton Lundell that may feel like a reach for some. While not having explosive offensive stats, Lundell brings the Sabres an element they desperately need. He has arguably the most complete game in this draft class and is sound defensively. He will be an assistant captain for HIFK this upcoming season, something almost unheard of for an 18-year-old. He will add solidity up the middle of the ice and bring leadership to a squad that desperately needs more leaders. Although the pain of the Ryan O’Reilly trade will hurt for some time, adding a future Selke candidate in Lundell can go a long way to erasing those memories and helping to lift the Sabres to relevance once again.Although the pain of the Ryan O’Reilly trade will hurt for some time, adding a future Selke candidate in Lundell can go a long way to erasing those memories and helping to lift the Sabres to relevance once again.

Hahahahaha

I agree...but, but, maybe we can get him to like hotdogs.

While your observation is true that we have a need in the cage, it's not the only need. It's not the only move that gets us in the playoffs. We are weak at C and RW. Adding a RW would not solve the problem, as we would still need a 2C. However, adding a 2C could solve the problem without adding a RW by allowing players to slot into the wing where they fit better. So, 2C is the most important position to fill at this time and then goalie. Almost forgot....welcome to the board.

Maybe not, but I would bet my house on Sheary scoring the 1st goal.

I wouldn't. Who could you get at #5 that you might not get at #8 that also is significantly better?

By comparison he would have a ceiling of...Sam Bennett?

I think this post should be in the Religion Thread, lol.

You aren't responding to what I'm saying, you are making up what I'm saying with totally a**inine Shiite. And don't even pretend to know what I was talking about with the Religion thread.

Hahaha......like I said, you're impossible. I'm done. I used to value your opinion very highly (still do to a point, but that would go in the Religion thread, hahaha). But I'm done trying to actually converse with you because of your nonsense.

Just forget I even said anything and I won't bother again....you are impossible. Oh, and it wasn't a matter of a GM having to use an 8th pick to "fill out" his 4th line. It was a GM having a great roster and only having room on the 4th line for said player. Call it an elite team, you know, something we Sabre fans don't much about. A dynasty so to speak.

CHILL OUT....once in awhile I'd like to have a convo where you actually discuss and not take your usually liberties to get all fired up over nothing. My intentions were not to "equate" anything whatsoever. My argument would be if everyone developed and you had a spine of Jack, Cozens, Mitts and Lundell that you would be a contender (likely even if injuries evolved). That wouldn't be a firing offense.

I notice you said nothing of Couturier. Seems to me Lundell could very well be just what we need. We might make a move for a 2C and have Cozens as our 3C or temporarily on the wing in developing him for that 2C spot down the road. In that sense, Lundell would fit perfectly into the 3C slot. He could help out on PK and be an upgrade to Larry or Lazar. Even if you're looking to go to the 3 scoring lines, then Lundell would be a good 4th liner who could play way up the line-up during injuries. Sounds like a win/ win situation. I sure your point is there is more talent at that pick, but where do they fit in if our guys develop properly? Cozens, Tage, Mitts?

So , we don't want/need another ROR, a Bergeron, or Couturier? Then why all the talk about Cirelli? Or don't you think Lundell will meet those standards in a couple years?

It might work, but you need KO to retire or get traded for pick. His $6M could make it work.

It's an apprenticeship. All you need is a GED.
