I'm giving Adams the benefit of the doubt on this one until he proves me wrong. Go Sabres! Expand That's why they drafted Quinn because they projected him highly. Quote

But Scouching has him at 5 chances per game. He'll get better. Is he a reach? Yes, a bit. But he's only low scoring because he was deployed like Rob Ray was deployed.

He's 2-3 years away, but his instincts and game are in the right place. He's a JJ Peterka light. .... If we didn't have so many other needs, I'd like this more. But if he get to 185#, he could be really, really solid. Expand Even 185 is still small. This is the NHL. Not every player can be Martin St Louis.

Gatorman0519 Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 Either KA is going to look like a gangster in a few years or we are staring at year 15 of a playoff drought. The safe bet was Rossi last year and one of the goalies or the Russian kid. 1 Quote

LGR4GM Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 My initial reaction is that this a meh draft for Buffalo. I like Power and Rosen but not with the other talent on the board. 3 1 Quote

I almost think Adams was pressured into taking Power, just because he was the consensus #1 with all the pundits. Oh, and because Terry wanted him. As for Rosen.....quite the reach. C+ so far 1 Quote
LGR4GM Posted July 24, 2021 Report Posted July 24, 2021 I'd give the draft a B- or a B. I think they left value on the board. before anyone freaks out, this is a right now opinion. Quote
