Hell, John Scott scored sometimes
- jcragcrumple

I have not played since High school , but I am pretty sure I can plant my A$$ in front of the net and score a GOAL in 58 games if given the opportunity...And hell I'll do it for a uniform and a 30 pack... You dont need to pay me millions....

Mika Noronen only played 35 games in '03 as a GOALIE and he scored

This is a good point, but there usually is elite talent at the top of the draft, except a year here and there like Reinhart, Turris, but there is rarely generational talent at the top of the draft when people talk about the expected 1st pick a couple years before. I think the lottery was so new that team's thought that 20% would be good enough to give them a good shot at getting the #1 pick but have now found out since that it's not.

The most talented players drafted since 2015

McDavid
Eichel/Mathews


I would say those 3 were better than elite talent. Those 3 players obviously McDavid is the top guy but the other 2 are franchise players

There was a lot of other players drafted with talent like Laine but he isn't IMO a franchise changing type player. He has a really really good team around him

He’s just upset I took his seat in the players lounge, and Hasek texts me more than him.

He's never been in players lounge he probably has no clue where it is

Ville leino is the Percy Harvin of Hockey. Biggest thief out there....

Big scouting/exec presence in Barrie last night: Botterill (BUF), Dorion (OTT), Wright (DET), Mellanby (MTL) and Bill Armstrong (STL) all at the game. And Andrei Svechnikov ended up giving them a nice show

Ryan Kennedy

I never said Sam was a bust .. he's a Drew Stafford
- gerbe75pts



Stafford scored 20 or more goal in a season 4 times in he's 9 seasons in Buffalo..

First 5 year's

13
16
20
14
31

If sam continues at his current pace he will have 2 in 3 seasons...


23
17
17 (2018)

And Stafford played with MUCH better players
- gordong

I'm talking about how Stafford screwed us

don't think there's a fan in Sabreland who doesn't think the Sabres were due for some puckluck
- Michael Pachla

That would be winning the lottery not screwing us out of a top pick

That’s because he was really good. Not because of luck

Full time family man now
- washedup20

Agreed he needs to retire for sure

I would have to think that another concussion for Okposo would leave him with a big decision on whether or not to continue playing.

I cant imagine the issues he had last season plus concussion issues isnt doing some horrible things to his brain/mental health.

That being said what do we do with his spot if he is gone indefinitely.
- Shadman306

Sucks that he has to go out that way..

But it helps us in the long run

Ville leino is the Percy Harvin of Hockey. Biggest thief out there....
- hehateme

Harvin has 22 career TD's so 132 points in 75 games .29 tds/game 1.76 points per game
Leino had 119 career points (40 goals) in 286 games .14 goals/game .42 points per game

Percy Harvin is the better value

- Stripes77

Laine has 39 goals already. Might hit 45-50. I think 80-85 goals in the first two years is close to franchise changing.

I mean, Reinhart scores 20 and people think he’s getting big $$

Where is OV jr ?? ???????

Agreed he needs to retire for sure
- gerbe75pts

Most of his issues were related to the medicine he was taking for his concussion for what it's worth not the actual concussion

He's a sniper and he's a stud for sure but you don't build around a winger...ask Washington

That’s because he was really good. Not because of luck
