And 6’4” 210 at 18 in the 4th.

Definitely addressing this concern. Dude’s Marcus Foligno-sized.

You mean does he want to continue to live in his mom's basement?

Correction

Does he want to move down the street to KA's basement? 😉

Or maybe it caught his living room window!

That was Zhitnik’s kid

McCarthy lost 8 weeks of last season because of an injury.  This pick could end up being a huge bargain.

"If I draft your kid, will I finally get my hedge clippers back?"

 

Adams likely has seen the parties they throw and wants to make sure he is invited for the next one. 🤣

But does he want to be here?

He's probably had an account on this forum and see's all the negative posters and decided.. no.. not really.

Neighborhood HOA meeting.

Mrs. McCarthy - "So Kevyn, what do think about Gavin?"

KA - "He's developing into a fine player Mrs McCarthy."

Mrs M - "Any thoughts about where he'll go in the draft?"

KA - "Our scouts are building the list as we speak."

Mrs. M - "Where do you think Gavin falls on the Sabres list?"

KA - "Not sure Mrs M at this point, but he is on our radar,"

Mrs. M - You know he'll be devastated as will the whole neighborhood if he isn't drafted by the Sabres."

KA - "I understand, but there are 31 other teams that probably have Gavin on their boards as well."

Mrs. M - "Well that's good to know."  "Just so you know, I'm now on the architectural committee for the HOA and the new paint color your wife wants is a little sketchy"

KA - "Gotcha"  "I'll let my wife know, and Don't worry Mrs M, Gavin will be just fine"

Mrs M. - "That's great!" "I'm sure that we'll get that Blue and Gold color scheme approved sometime on Friday, June 30th."

He was 6 the last time the Sabres were in the playoffs.

6 is a pretty influential age.

His Brother Case is entering his senior year as the  Captain of BU. He was a fourth round pick of NJD and will be an UFA on August 15, 2024 if he doesn’t sign. RHD.

Ive heard Luke isn’t that great tho

Don’t really think we need to go out of the way to add family members, see ROR/KOR

Not really opposed to the moves just see these types talked about a lot more often than they actually play out

I was thinking AHL for both as long as they do not interfere with drafted prospects.

We love to be on the receiving ends of this nonsense for a change. Is his brother any good? Imagine having a McCarthy-squared line.
