So if Beniers could easily be the next Holzinger, can Power easily end up being the next <insert name of dman over 6’5” who ended up being a bust>?

I’d rather it put the fear of god into Adams! 😈

Now that I have thrown my support to Beniers, I consider that to be the kiss of death, and almost a guarantee that the Sabres will draft Austin Power(s) instead.

The uncomfortable part is having to go against the Vegas players...not the idiot with a mic in his hand. 😉

Didn’t I say I’m a big fan of the team?

I love everything about the Vegas team...except for their obnoxious monster truck PA announcer. 👎

I realize there are no guarantees, but for a guy ranked in the top 5(and in a lot of cases, top 2) even in a down draft year, I would hope for more than a 30-35 point player.

You think his floor is lower than that? Where would you set it?

Sing along with me... 🎶Hit the road, Jack And don't you come back No more, no more, no more, no more Hit the road, Jack And don't you come back no more...🎶 😈

I still want Beniers. Worst case he ends up being a good 2-way 2C putting up 50-55 points a year. I’d be thrilled with that result.

The Bruins could not overcome the stank that Hall brings with him everywhere he goes.

So when do we get an update on Jack. Surgery? Further rehab? On the trade market? Did a 180 and loves everything Buffalo? etc...

I have only seen a few highlights of each, and what has been discussed here. My vote is Beniers. Nothing that happens between now and the draft will change my mind....except for a bizarre off-ice incident.

Trading him in-season is unlikely to happen...or will severely limit the number of teams who can fit $10mil cap hit once rosters get finalized as the season draws close.

I’m not referring to what the Sabres will or won’t do, I’m referring to what some posters think Eichel would return in a trade this summer.

I said something similar upthread. Unfortunately, some think they are trading 2019-2020 Jack...not broken Jack.

I’m not sure the Kings would even go for a 1 for 1 swap, Byfield for a broken Eichel. Even if he gets a glowing medical report, would you take a chance on him this off-season without any post-injury game action? What team is going to give up significant assets for him...unless it is conditional picks based on games played

What else were they going to do? Give those minutes to some journeyman scrub instead?

Good for you. I put in almost 35 all in one place before retiring. Welcome to the club!

Congrats Punch. 39 years with one company? If so that is quite the accomplishment.

I know they are different nationalities, but am I the only one who thinks Gronberg could be Risto’s father? Strong resemblance, or am I out to lunch?

I’m having a major brain cramp, and everytime I think about Power, I try and remember who it was... Who was the poster who was convinced that Tyler Myers had Marfan Syndrome?

Beniers is the answer today, tomorrow and everyday thereafter. 😊

If this letter thing is true, that is a red flag. Just another reason to draft Beniers.
