I’m becoming convinced there’s not much of a market for picks and non NHL ready prospects.  Vegas and Florida won cups without using draft picks. 

So maybe, since he cannot play all of these prospects  (unless we want a team with an average age of 23 for the next decade), he should adjust to what the market does bring?

The last two drafts have had basically no NHL player trades happen on / near the draft.

 

Bullseye. That's why I've been wondering why there was an expectation things would change. Crying isn't changing things.

Fire Kevyn Adams

 

A chart from RMNB shows every NHL forward from the last decade and how often they started in the defensive zone versus the offensive zone. Malenstyn ranked 7th for most defensive-zone starts (behind this season’s Dowd and 2018’s Jay Beagle). Out of 3046 player-seasons, Malenstyn ranked 3045th in offensive-zone starts (ahead of only this season’s Nicolas Aube-Kubel). That ratio is simply the most extreme defensive deployment for a forward since the NHL started tracking zone starts.

That’s wild.

Adams said the Sabres were looking at deals to acquire NHL talent and didn’t get anyone. But neither did anybody else. Martin Necas is still in Carolina, Nikolaj Ehlers and Eden native Alex Iafallo are still in Winnipeg and so is disgruntled Jets prospect and former Team USA captain Rutger McGroarty. So is anybody else you might have heard on the rumor mill.

Ok? I don’t care about the rumour mill lol

i care about reality - there have been numerous trades. Utah just added Marino
 

another one

For the Sabres to be in any real trade talks, they are going to have to make playoffs on their own with the talent they have for a few years. That will be the only way they will start changing minds in the league. Unfortunately I don’t see that happening. 🤷‍♂️

We keep hearing Kevyn Adams saying there is no trading partners yet a team with no name makes 2 very impressive trades. I really am starting to like the kid from Washington the more i read on him but to think we could have received Sergachev or Marino is really inexcusable to me.

If Sergachev and Marino don't have Buffalo on their lists for their NTCs.

Serg makes 8.5MM. Do you really want to take that on? That would make the Sabres have the highest D payroll in NHL history.  And Marino isn’t good.  
 

I get what you’re saying, but I haven’t seen a top six forward get traded that I’m jealous of (so far).
