Did he play in the OHL or Q?

One chance that Botts has to stick to his guns and avoid the CHL, he folds like one of your suits.
- Hatboro_Swords

So we spend the past two years busting his balls about not drafting sweet awesome depth players out of the CHL, then all the sudden he does with his first pick, and since he's from the WHL, you need to give him poop because he's not from the O or Q. Get over it, you guys are (frank)ing brutal.

Great players come from many different leagues, the league is trending away from drafting out of the CHL because of rights. If they moved to four years like every other league, that number would rise again, and your pariah would use that league more in the later rounds.

I forgot Rasmus Dahlin, Elias Pettersson, Jack Eichel and Sebastian Aho were poopty. My bad.

Let's take a look at that amazing draft from 2010. Good thing they went with almost all CHL players. Sooooooooo gooooood

If it’s for a 6/7 rd pick, sure.

Take a shot. But that 4mil for multi year could be trouble if he is terrible.

Plus isn’t he mostly a LW?

Sabres have $12 million in cap space

Girgensons, McCabe, Larsson, ERod and Ullmark are to be signed

That's about $9 million there

Move Scandella and or Sobotka and you're have plenty of space.

2 year deal comes off when Dahlin is due a new deal if it doesn't work out.

It's not without a risk, but it's not a huge risk IMO

Would we send Nylander for him?

One we know about the other hasn't stepped foot in NA?

The contract part doesn't bother me.

2 years $4 million per is what his asking price is

If he works out great, if he doesn't he comes off the books when Dahlin is due a new deal

I'm pretty sure we know Nylander isn't that good

Bro. No one has ever once said the CHL didn't produce good players. A majority of the above players were top picks in their respective drafts. Kuch had the Russian factor, and Point was overlooked many, many times.

This has literally nothing to do with development time for mid and late round guys. There's Point.. and.. Marchand.. and..

It's an extremely low chance that mid round players from any league hit big. Having the benefit of an extra two years is highly beneficial. How is that point not connecting.

So we spend the past two years busting his balls about not drafting sweet awesome depth players out of the CHL, then all the sudden he does with his first pick, and since he's from the WHL, you need to give him poop because he's not from the O or Q. Get over it, you guys are (frank)ing brutal.

I'm over it, I've been over it. You keep bringing it up and as long as you and the Supreme Botts Apologist or anyone else try to downplay it like it isn't a thing, we'll be here to remind you.

I've never directly made a point to bring up his lack of CHL drafting. I'm responding that it simply does not matter where he gets his players from, as long as he doesn't ignore the CHL. I'd bet my house that he doesn't.

Don't assume Lazar is going to be a regular forward here.
- TheSabresTaco

Yeah he’s not a good NHLer.


Lights up the AHL though.

Again, top picks don't really apply. This is for development players. Do I have to spam it for you.

Looks like i didn’t miss much

Are we more gooder yet? Asking for a friend...

Let’s make a bet.

If any of the Sabres non CHL draft picks break in to the NHL in the next year or two you have to quit Hockeybuzz for life.

I’ve never heard of a player asking to be sent down.

Is it because he wanted to refine his game or was it because he just didn’t want put in The work to be an NHL player

I still say it was a mistake not drafting Caufield best player in US history before being drafted and broke every USA record

And botts decides oh I’ll draft in the CHL

The one draft that was dominated by United States players

As usual, you're all over the road. CHL! NO! USA! NO! KHL!

You are exhausting.

Doesn’t take CHL players, takes CHL players instead of Other leagues.

Pick a (frank)ing side dude.
