Lots of players have gotten better in Buffalo

?

What is the point of this? 

Tuch and McLeod were already good before they got here. They've just been given more prominent roles on weaker rosters. The rest? Yay, not every pick busts woo-hoo. 

Again, if you believe we develop players well good for you. We disagree.

Ok then Reinhart and Eichel were already good before they left. The point is you said something that's objectively not true. The Sabres main issue isn't development.

Bleacher Report just put out an updated mock draft.  I don’t know how to copy and paste it but some of the picks surprised me as they aren’t like other mocks I’ve seen. 
 

1. Sharks - Martone

2. Blackhawks - Schaefer

3. Sabres - Jackson Smith

4. Predators - Hagens

5. Kraken - Misa

6. Penguins - Frondell

7. Flyers - McQueen 

8. Ducks - Ecklund

9. Islanders - Mrkta

10. Bruins - Carbonneau

11. Wings - Schmidt 

12. Rangers - Hensler

13. Utah - Desnoyers. 
 

I don’t know much about Jackson Smith, but if we pass on an offensive talent like Hagens, Misa or McQueen for a defenseman not named Schaefer, I’ll be pissed.

This is an absolutely terrible mock draft.  Thanks for sharing it.

"Main issue" are words you added to distort the point for your own argument. I never said that. 

What I said was the Sabres do not develop players well. This is a long standing issue and it's part of their problems. 

The "main issue" as I have said repeatedly all over this forum is bad management/ownership.
