I have to go back and listen.

In regards to that what did peek my interest was “if we pick at 9” and “picking as high as possible”
- ImThatGuy

Hmm. That's interesting. He did say he's been in contact with teams ahead of and right behind them, if certain scenerios play out.

Exactly.

Who listened to the PC? Did he mention bringing in another NHL caliber goalie?
- Powerslave

He explicitly said he doesn't want Craig starting, in certain terms.

And he again had no confidence in UPL being the guy. "He needs games".

Craig and UPL will get games behind the starter. Mark it down.

Are we reading this as "Rochester"?

Why is anyone shocked that Anderson is back? Like I said, we are pretty much going to have the same team as last year.
- SABRES 89

Its just Clown

You can pretty much bank on one of Krebs, Peterka or Quinn falling well short of expectations.

You can also pretty much bank on a rookie wall at some point for Power

You can bank on an injury to a 41 yo goalie

Whatever.
- sbroads24

Do you agree with signing a starting goalie, signing/trading for a top 4 D and a top 6 F? Or would you do more than that?

It appears everyone has seen the smoke when it comes to the Sabres and Danila Yurov at pick 16.


Chad
- Powerslave

If they take him over Miro it'll be big mistake

Are we reading this as "Rochester"?
- Powerslave

Yes.

Adams has strong tells that are easy to read without him just coming out and saying it.

He believes in him but he's not handing him an NHL position out of the gate.

They don't give a poop about the new and improved Russian factor. But I don't know how Chad is confirming their interest in Yurov.

Michael Houser, come on DOWWWWWWN!

i think he had the best numbers of all the Sabres goalies last season..

but don't sleep on Toks.. he will be in the mix as well

As UPLs backup.

If they roll out the same goalie poop as last season I will absolutely lose my god damn mind.

The war?

I hope they don't care about a conflict that has nothing to do with hockey.

Miroshnichenko is Russian and if they're both there at 16 Miro better be the pick.

- DirtyDan

Yes the war and all the sanctions against Russia and the ramifications of those sanctions.

Yes I know Miro is Russian.

There was a legitimate concern with Novikov with him committing to North America prior to the draft. I think he goes a few rounds earlier if those concerns were not present.

My question is, how is Chad tying the Sabres to Yurov.

Yes.

- TheSabresTaco

Yet, many believe he's ready to do so with Quinn and Peterka, both of whom have fewer games of NHL experience combined.

What was this concern?

His interest in playing in NA.

- TheSabresTaco

Why was this a concern?

I get upset because they have been the laughing stock of the NHL for the last 11 years

have tons of cap space

and instead of getting better, we are bringing back a 41 year old goalie who was 44th in save percentage last year

probably 30 better options out there and we went the cheap route because he wants to be here

he sucks but he wants to be here
- homiedclown

Yeah, we're all upset. So what? Should Adams hit the gas because it has been so long? No, of course not. I also hate the "wants to be here" line that they sold the fans but at the same time I love the measured approach that they are taking.

And again, we don't know who the other goalies will be. That is the far more interesting question.
