LGR4GM Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 Karmanos did have another team and opportunity but decided to come to Buffalo. Karmanos says he was very involved with Pittsburgh's drafting the last few years. Their 2018 and 2019 drafts I find very interesting. 2 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 UPL may play this weekend for Buffalo if healthy. Jack Quinn at center, thought he might have the ability to do it when drafted after looking at how he drove his line in the OHL last year. 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 Karmanos implied there would be scouting changes but not yet as he will take time to understand how the Sabres currently work Kevyn and Terry drove down and went to the Amerks game last night when Quinn played center. 4 Quote

Expand I think Karmanos has stronger opinions about the way a scouting department should be constructed than he let on. But he's careful enough to do his due diligence and savvy enough to not want to make the crew he will be managing unduly uncomfortable. Comes across as a very measured dude.

nfreeman Posted April 15, 2021 Report Posted April 15, 2021 I liked him. He seems pretty sharp, and not like the type of guy who would join a BS organization that isn't committed to winning. We'll see. 3 Quote

Very interesting. Expand Maybe it wasn’t necessarily BECAUSE Quinn was playing Center. Perhaps it was something else completely different. Are the nachos good at that arena?How about the parking? Is the In house DJ guy any good? I mean that dude from 97 rock did get fired. It could be a plethora of reasons. 1 Quote
