You just ignoring the rest of my points (giving up zero assets for him over Cat, drafting three guys in 1st who can fill in roster spots on rookie contracts)

😂😂

I'd argue that the list of free agent forwards this offseason is greater in and more diverse in terms of quality and quantity then next season.

That's why I wouldn't wait until next year to add a quality UFA forward, or even two.

Plus, I'd like to add more veteran support for the young players. Gritty, quality support like Andrew Copp, for example.

So far I’ve read two winner/loser articles about last nights draft and both have the Sabres has big winners.

I want them to draft Casey just so they have a guy named Seamus.

Then, they have to find a Leon.

Adam Sykora as well. Lots of quality options.

Keep 41 and try hard to get another pick in the top 10 of round 2.

Like that idea, they have the assets to do it too.

The #1 prospect pool in the league is now the super #1 prospect pool in the league.

Oh, I'm sure we had a great "draft." We just had a terrible day overall. Two of those picks should not have been made because we added a great NHL player.

But you know, someday is the only day we care about in Hockey Heaven.

Savoie seemed really Happy with being drafted by Buffalo. Krebs and Patrick most have been in his ear.

He might try. I think he should go play ea sports on difficulty “easy” and say how easy it is to make playoffs and win cup and keep team together. The off-season is just getting started and “it’s over”. Team is set in stone. Too bad we couldn’t get the only player to improve this team. No player on the team from last year will improve. Yes we need a goalie, Adams says that in press statements almost daily. Do you think he is still trying to get one or fold up? (Directed at lacaprup)

Let's look at the goalie he thought fixed the problem:
.899
.893
.906
Those are his last three years save %. In those years he played 38, 27, and 20 games respectively. That's as bad a dumpster fire as CA. That's who he's looking for.

Well I will say hopefully what KA is doing is changing the perception of the Sabres Organization. Because we are lower than Sid the Sloth on the Sh!t scale, Murray not waiving should be a eye-opener for people.

Stripes, he's going to complain and cry until KA brings Patrick Kane here, and finds a way to dump Krebs and Cozens

Andersen is his mentor for young goalies on how to act in this league. Not his starter, not the main goalie. I understand why you don’t like this move, but getting another goalie will really help and is needed and he is trying to do that.

No, it isn't. From what I read he told them he wouldn't waive for any team on his no trade list.

and the first call into GR this morning - there are apparently two types of Sabres fans: those that want them to win games and those that only want to win drafts. You have all been warned. To make things simpler, please change your tag line to indicate where your allegiance is.

Sabres interested in bringing back Pilut after his contract in KHL is terminated. Ok, could be ok for us.

Lawrence Pilut’s contract with Traktor Chelyabinsk of the KHL has been terminated, per the team.

I’m told the Sabres are “very interested” in bringing Pilut back to Buffalo. And Pilut is willing to sign a two-way contract to get another NHL opportunity.
