For some odd reason, BT feels like a forced fit at 4, and I’m not certain I want another “brother” of a current player to be on the Sabres...seen that picture too many times and it rarely goes well.

If they pick 4th, I’d like to see if JBotts can either:
A) pull a Beaner-move...maybe slide into 2 to get Svechnikov
B) trade back a pick or two and grab Boqvist

At 4, I’d prefer to grab a D...my own self

It would be nice, but the cost would be exorbitant.

What do you mean? That’s my point. He wouldn’t produce more overall points with a lesser role, but he would be a more efficient player
- sbroads24

My whole point is that it’s how he’s used that makes him less efficient
It’s not that he isn’t a good player

So, if we had a 3rd & 4th line we could play more...
Then we could lighten his load,
which would improve his efficiency which bothers u so much

And if we can get more talent here,
so that he has some linemates like the guys you’re comparing him against,
then it’s also likely that his his points will go up a bit

And that’s what the Sabres are building towards (hopefully, anyways)

I'm basing it on team need. We need D-Men more than we need a hard working, but not super skilled forward.

We need a strong power forward who doesn't take sh!t as much as any player at any position.

Backbone has been lacking for years

These defenseman after dahlin are 3 years out?
Brady would start here next year

Schiefele is a Center.

Stastny is basically the same player as O’Reilly and is producing slightly more since he got there, which isn’t unusual for a deadline add. They usually see a spike in production
- sbroads24

My bad...

Winnipeg’s wingers on the top2 lines are:
Connor & Wheeler (between Schieffle)
and
Stastny has Ehlers & Laine

Are u really gonna try & tell me that ROR wouldn’t have more points if u put him in Stastny’s spot instead of in between
Wilson & Reinhart/Okposo?

Come on dude

Even if u kept ROR on the Sabres...
same minutes, same zone starts, etc
O’Reilly would be more productive if he had wingers like that

Great movie

Yeah I might give it a chance Someday just like I might give Walking Dead a chance

My DC Shows have been absolute garbage it’s like I’m (frank)ing watching Power Rangers
- gerbe75pts

I just started watching Fear the Walking Dead
So far, it’s WAY more interesting than the Walking Dead
TWD has been super overrated since day1
And i love the Horror genre
It’s way too often a freaking soap opera though

It never ends

T-23 days til I'm in sunny San Diego

I lived in Pacific Beach for the summer after i graduated high school
It was awesome


Unrelated...
Kuznetsov is redonkulous
Just cruised right around Ekholm & then roofed a backhand shot at a tough angle for a super sweet goal

I’m taking at least 1 Russian winger a year later in the draft, just to see what they can develop into

Well we had one who’s tearing it up for SJ now

Maybe Bailey can become that guy
Although his scoring ability probably has him closer to Foligno than Kane
Bailey does have some skill though

Still hoping Bailey can put it together?

Something's missing in his game, still

I have a feeling that jbotts pulls a Beane .

Anyone tmgm or Doug whatley brought it goes.

Ror
Okposo
Bogo
Moulson
Gorges (ufa)
Lehner

Keeping
Erod
Nelson

Are they? I don't think so.

I'm only going by what I've read. Top 4 guys supposedly NHL ready. Drop off after.

Look at guhle, this is year 3.
I realize some guys can step right in

Are they? I don't think so.
- Wetbandit1

Agreed, They are probably closer then bt

Are they? I don't think so.

Not on this team theyre not.

If we dont win the lottery, take a winger and a lot of dmen after that.

My boy dustin brown with a hat trick tonight. Hes the kind of guy you want on your team. A man playing a mans sport.
