Even with all the f-ups that GMTM did, the Sabres would be a much better team in 18/19 if he had drafted Sergachev or McAvoy in 2016 vs A Nylander. It's easy to second guess after the fact but the Sabres #1 weakness in 2016 was defence. And it remains that today. Imagine a core of Jack, Sergachev/McAvoy, Mitts and our 2018 pick moving forward (whoever it turns out to be)? Throw in Risto and that would be a really good core for the next 10-years.

Back to the lottery.......

I was screaming my head off for a defenseman at the time
I know that generally u should go bpa,
but when u have such a severe need at a particular spot it’s ok to choose for position if the prospects are close
And it’s not like Nylander was in the tier above Sergachev &/or Chychrun
Hopefully Nylander can still work out & be a good player for us

Ricky is who ?

He played for the Panthers a long time ago. He was also on Rivera's staff the same time as McDermott.

That’s about a dump pass a game to the RB. If he becomes wentz I’ll be so happy.

And apparently his coach said they never did any passes to RB the O line was so bad that most of the time he was throwing across his body

Yeah I got ya...there comes a time in a rebuild where a few years ahead in development can go a long ways.
- Larsson_fan


With as many draft picks who look amazing at the time, but still don’t work out,
I’d just prefer someone further along in his development
That way we have a better idea

Probably because the liked him, but it was the 7th round they could've traded up to get him if they liked him that much.

I watched a ton of Clemson, I think Ray-Ray could be a decent return man/utility player.

the NHL forced the Sabres to surrender their first overall pick to Pittsburgh for signing JBotts as a GM....and then we won first overall.

Top 3. Turn on the Vegas/SJ game. At the second intermission they complete the draw

The second period is taking forever. Or at least it feels like it.

Tyrod Taylor had a 15....so Bills are back?

Allen’s was quite higher then any of the other QBs. Jackson was only a 13!

I took the test today and got a 46 😜.
