GDT Buffalo at Tampa Bay 4/6/18 7:30 PM MSG WGR

[Randall Flagg]

Context is pretty important, no? Put those guys on the Sabres.

They're better at hockey than Drew Schreilstal

[LGR4GM]

And even in 2014 we got Oloffson. 2015 Guhle and borgen. 2016, Asplund, Pu, Fitzgerald, Glotov.

[dudacek]

He's that zany comedian who smashes pumpkins on stage.

I thought he was the Greek soft hits piano dude.

Plays a lot of Harvest Festivals.

Curtis Brown and Wayne Primeau were the last pair of Sabres to score their first NHL Goals in the same game

[LGR4GM]

My biggest hope is that te new regime doesn’t shy away from highly productive smaller players

Linus Weissbach

Linus Weissbach

Perfect example

[DarthEbriate]

Holy moly. Had to look at the TBL drafts...  in 2011 they took: Namestnikov, Kucherov, Nesterov, Wilcox (our backup tonight), Peca (steady AHLer), and with their final pick Palat. Wowsers.

 

By comparison in 2011 we took: Armia, Catenacci, Jacobs, Lepkowski, Lieuwen (too many concussions), and Navin. Armia could still pan out, Catenacci is still in the AHL. And that's it.

[Randall Flagg]

Holy crap ROR. 

Our best players have definitely been our worst.

[WildCard]

Most of it yes

Least that's some good news. 

[DarthEbriate]

Curtis Brown and Wayne Primeau were the last pair of Sabres to score their first NHL Goals in the same game

Nice!

[dudacek]

Jesus, OReillys turn to cough it up.

Our two best passers playing for Tampa tonight.

[WildCard]

Perfect example

10-16-26 in 34gp in his freshman year in the NCAA. Very impressive 

[Randall Flagg]

Jack making Hedman look silly

[GASabresIUFAN]

We have no ###### clue what Murray's late picks look like. 2014 wasn't his scouting staff. 2015 and 2016 still to early to tell.

Ok smart guy, which late rd pick from 2015 or 2016 has shown any potential. Glotov? Budik? No one from 2015 after Borgen will ever play a minute in Buffalo.

[WildCard]

Drafting means everything in this league. Just like the NFL, if you don't draft well, you are screwed.

[LGR4GM]

There's a guy in this draft, Aiden Dudas who will slide to the 4th because of size. He should go in the 2nd.

[Sabel79]

Cory Conacher sighting!

[Randall Flagg]

Pominville, you're f*cking garbage.

[DarthEbriate]

Ok smart guy, which late rd pick from 2015 or 2016 has shown any potential. Glotov? Budik? No one from 2015 after Borgen will ever play a minute in Buffalo.

Whoa, whoa. Wait until 2020-21 before looking at those drafts.

[LGR4GM]

they took 3 players after borgen and none of them. 2016, Hagel and Glotov outside the 3rd round. Cliff Pu in the 3rd.

[Sabel79]

Larson with the stylish giveaway at the blue line....

[DarthEbriate]

Cory Conacher sighting!

He of the very big helmet! Like mine, but less of a novelty than the Spaceballs version.

[LGR4GM]

3rd round and beyond is a crap shoot. You need to hit every other year on 1 of those picks. So basically 1 out of 8.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Whoa, whoa. Wait until 2020-21 before looking at those drafts.

Lol. Of the 2015 late rounders, Stephens can’t get out of the ECHL, Estephan wasn’t given a contract and Chukarov likely won’t get a contract either when he finishes college.

[thewookie1]

I get the feeling Eichel wants other players to do stuff on the powerplay but they seem determined for him to do everything.
