No. Your free to hate it all you want. Im just sick and tired of reading the same posts from the same people that offer zero substance.

If you dont like the picks, go read a scouting report and tell me why you dont like it. Thats what Im looking for.

I said I wasnt thrilled with the Hurley pick, and Ill offer my reasoning. Hes the youngest player in the draft and is going to a college (Notre Dame) that plays a very defensive first system. Hes going to have to work extremely hard to be creative on a team known for playing defense first.

Thats what Im looking for. Criticism with substance. "I dont like it" isnt going to cut it. It just shows a lack of intelligence on the subject and, as usual from you, a trend of general negativity

The same people who female dog the same have no size or toughness spent today female doging we didn't grab any scoring. I know we wanted to get into the top 4 and move Vanek and Miller. But, all in all Darcy had a good day at the office today.

Talent Analysis

Baptiste is a solid, two-way right-winger who rocketed up Central Scouting’s ranking of North American skaters. He jumped 44 spots to 61st overall in the final rankings, based upon his commitment to focusing on the defensive zone. Last year, Baptiste was all offense all the day, but this year he improved in all facets of his game and the scouts have taken note.

I don't have to explain myself to you and if you were here earlier you would have seen what i posted, you want to act like you know it all that's fine but don't tell me what I can or cannot post. If you don't like what I post that's to bad.

I'm uneducated because I don't like who we drafted? but yet you want to post on here acting like a big shot.

so reasonable to say that the draft picks have created a bit of a chasm between supporters of the Sabres, I won't say I hate the picks because I don't know they may turn out to be genius picks, however I would say I am disappointed is maybe the best term but I am not surprised, I am very surprised he was able to move Sekera, I just so badly want to see Stafford gone, I really do, words can't describe how badly I want to see him gone, the only way he redeems himself in Buffalo is by having a season that simply astounds even the harshest critics 40+ goals and an awesome +/-

I wouldn't mind them resigning Vanek even at around the same amount...

I'm only disappointed that Miller is still a Sabre. Plus I would have liked to have seen Myers moved for a top 6 forward and maybe 2nd round pick.

Once again, tell me why you dont like it.

We can have a friendly debate here, but you just keep dancing around it.

No, you sound uneducated when you say "this sucks" without providing a reason. And no "my opinion is my opinion" doesn't count as substance. In fact, it insults my intelligence.

I agree given the picks they have just taken, I was expecting something big to happen with Myers but maybe the "market" wasn't there.

What I am hoping for going forward...

Any combination of the following:

Either Tyler Ennis OR Tyler Myers to Anaheim for Bobby Ryan.

Thomas Vanek, Drew Stafford and Luke Adam to Jets for Evander Kane, Dustin Byfuglien, and Alex Burmistrov.

Ryan Miller and 2nd round pick (2014) for Paul Stastny and 1st round pick (2014).
