The tank was ardently defended, by me, and others, partially because of that "guaranteed" aspect - we couldn't fail, if we fell far enough. Quote
Marvin Posted July 26, 2021 Report Posted July 26, 2021 Can't we just get better each year and not hope for a franchise saviour? He isn't coming because there is no such thing. You need to build the team up piece by piece. 1 Quote

Don't sell yourself short. After experiencing the last 7 years, the folly of losing to guarantee a successful franchise on the backs of a superstar should be self evident. 1 Quote

Happy Days Posted August 1, 2021 Report Posted August 1, 2021 I’m thinking Kevin Adams is planning on getting his next franchise center in the 2022 draft. 1 Quote

Yeah, that’s really looking like the plan to me. He has 2 prospects/players with good 2 C potential. He’s loaded up on wings the last 2 drafts, and has a high potential defense with Dahlin, Power, and Jokiharju making 3 of a top 4 and Bryson, Samuellson, and Johnson competing for spots. We have 3 potential NHL goalies, though 2 of them seem like still a ways off, and one that still should have a year or two. I think the plan is to get that 1C next year in the draft. What makes this interesting to me, is the Eichel trade if we’re assuming that. It wouldn’t surprise me for Kevyn Adams to target W, RHD, or G prospects in an Eichel deal. Adding a high end wing prospect along with a decent RHD would do a lot for our future if we can get a 1C next draft. 2 Quote
LGR4GM Posted August 4, 2021 Report Posted August 4, 2021 It's gonna be hard to stay away from this thread... the talent in this draft is going to be absurd. Quote
WildCard Posted August 4, 2021 Report Posted August 4, 2021 I'm sure the Sabres looked at that and thought the same when evaluating our current roster. Quote
Mr. Allen Posted August 4, 2021 Report Posted August 4, 2021 How good is Wright? Where would he rank among previous first overall picks? He’s no McDavid, right? Quote

Yeah, not McDavid/Crosby, I don’t think. I’d say he is a definite above average #1 pick though. Like Matthews/MacKinion/Tavares/Stamkos level. Probably never going to be the best player in the league, but a near lock to be a top-10 C and perennial all-star. I think he would have #1 no doubt in every draft since 2016. However, he has barely played in a year, so we’ll see how he looks next season. Edited August 4, 2021 by Curt Quote
French Collection Posted August 4, 2021 Report Posted August 4, 2021 1 hour ago, Mr. Allen said: How good is Wright? Where would he rank among previous first overall picks? He’s no McDavid, right? Wright compares his game to Patrice Bergeron. Quote
LGR4GM Posted August 4, 2021 Report Posted August 4, 2021 Wright dropped 14 points in 5 U18 games this summer. Michkov outscored him but played 2 more games. Gotta wait to see what he looks like once the season starts. He's got average size at 6'1" and is likely if not guaranteed to be the 1st overall pick... although there's 2 talented Russians who might challenge that. Quote
