Man Markov really hates the Sabres organization

I wonder why we have a general manager that hates Russians

I get it. Just think in this situation where there's smoke there's fire rings true.

If he was not Russian then I would agree

I'm really hoping we can get late round first if we don't move up and get TK

Then we can use the thirds to get back in the second round

Said that he had to stay in a separate locker room because he was the third goalie, Sabres treated him as target practice after practice because he was 3rd goalie even though he was here for three years. Won a game still wouldn't dress etc.

Yes, I get it but maybe Sergachev is a different case. We'll see. Unless some shocking rise of Chychrun I think he'll be the pick anyway. But it's ironic because Segachev is everything the team needs in terms of playing style

Outside of the top 3 maybe 4, I don't really see anyone playing the year in the NHL honestly.

I've seen him listed by quite a few NHL people who say he could have a shot at making a team right away. Not saying he will but every year there's always two to three guys who make the NHL right away who no one expects.

Well to be honest he wasn't that impressive. He's probably exaggerating a bit.

It's kind of hard to ignore the fact that he's never drafted a Russian in his career or signed one that's why am leading to the fact that he's never ever going to be a sabre

I agree with you on Chychrun I do believe he will be our pic and I'm not going to like it because I don't like taking defenseman top ten

I'm hoping we can trade back in the first round and take Keller and he becomes everything Gerbe was supposed to be

I've watched, played, and forgotten more about basketball than you'll ever dream about. I played the game for 20 years and would still be playing it if my hip wasn't shot.

Lebron doesn't even sniff my top 5 of all time greats.

- dadeadhead

it's amazing how basketball went from a team sport, to a 1/2 team in the last 15 years


the little I watch, I root for the spurs as they always play team ball


my top 5, players I have seen so 80's on

1. jordan
2. magic
3. bird
4. duncan
5. willis


thomas, shaq and kobie just outside the list

Let me know when James avgs a triple double over a 5 yr span. Oh and it was his 1st 5 years in the league too.

A lot of great defenseman were taken in the top 10. I'm not moving down unless we're getting a top 4 defenseman or top six winger and you don't get that with just moving down so no thanks. There's a drop off after 10 or so

"News from NHL Combine. While Patrik Laine & Jesse Puljujarvi were medically exempt, Olli Juolevi just "declined to participate"

Not a good look...

Am I the only one who still likes Chychrun? He wasn't slated to go 2nd overall a year ago for no reason.

No I like him as long as he turns out better than that stupid Bogosian comparison TSN made a few months ago that's embedded in my brain

He was on the management team that traded for Kovalev and Filatov. Signed Gonchar.

Just saying.

I don't like the comparison either but those comparisons are all BS anyway. I'd be very happy if Chychrun fell to 8.

Only player in NBA history to have over 25 points a game or for 12 straight years

He has 14 triple doubles in his playoffs Second all time in NBA history behind Magic Johnson

And has 43 regular-season triple doubles I believe that's seventh all time

Still has 7 years left

I believe that's a check and mate

The reason why he's dropping all the scouts thought he was going to improve his game to the next level but he did nothing he just stayed the same and that's why everyone's worried it could be another cam prospect
