Can Sam Reinhart produce without Jack Eichel?

Nice find Taco, goes more to the point as to why they didn't put Rhino on the 2nd line to try and help get Skinner going. And probably would have helped with the contract numbers, and who knows maybe a few more wins.

The Goals scored away from Jack in '19-'20 seems to be driving the story...yet Chad admits the sample size is small... when calculated on a per 60 basis it seems to skew the results. Surprised he didn't try to analyze a bit differently.

Paul Hamilton got fired, and now everyone loves him.

Also, very few people knew at first becuase he has 95% of Buffalo blocked.

That would suck, I do not want to drop to 10. As (frank)ed up as it's been, we need some good news.

Would you stay at 7 given the "lottery"

I'd still take my chances at #'s 1-3.

Pretty difficult to have more than 1 team jump up ahead of us.

I would be fine with 7, still gonna get a very good player in this years draft. Going back to 10 that's were it becomes a little more difficult. Maybe Lundell or Quinn are there. But who knows there's always a surprise or 2 that get picked higher then anyone expected.

Lundell would be a quality pick at 7, let alone at 10.

He was well respected in the industry. I thought he was ok, sometimes. Sometimes, way off the mark. Wasn't personal. Always seemed like a genuinely nice man that can't handle a disagreement or a curse word on twitter.

I'm thinking 8th with 1 A-H team in top 3 to create drama as I mentioned yesterday.
Obviously, hoping for a top 3 for the Sabres...2 more specifically so they can take Byfield.

I think Eichel, Cozens and Byfield down the middle would be virtually unstopable... and consider this...if Byfield and Cozens prove to be their projections as a 1C and a 1bC, well I imagine the return for Eichel down the road. Could set us up for a Detroit-level playoff dynasty for 15 years.

I never saw why the hate on him. He did his job just fine.
And I'm ok with the bold...infact, wish their was more of them (recognizing I'm guilty of over using the F word)

Lets Mittelstadt become a winger playmaker like Reinhart, able to set up his power centers. Would be.. pretty (frank)in' neat.

Eichel-Cozens-Lundell/Rossi would also make a formidable trio.

I’m very happy to be here.

Adams needs to make the moves in the short term though to get this team in the playoffs next year while Cozens and whomever we select continue to develop and we are well on our way.

I take the last three years of Sabres hockey over first round playoff losses 10/10

Eh. He was super lazy the last few years.

He also had an annoying habit of answering his own questions in press conferences and then asking the player/coach if they agreed. It drove me nuts

His blocking game was out of control. Hambone had some bad takes, but who doesn't. Not like he's (frank)ing Harrington.

Question for my Buffalo friends:

What are the facilities like at Sahlen Field?

Suitable for MLB?

Jays are probably going to need a home south of the border this year.
