The bills did their damage through the draft.

Used free agency and trades to give them the final pieces.

Is that not what the Sabres are doing ? They just don’t have the luxury of having 5 rookies play for them year one like in the NFL

The league's best safety tandem would like a word

As someone who spent years 9 through 27 of his life watching the Bills screw around in purgatory, I was screaming "just get in"

So the Sabres haven’t done that?

#1 overall Dahlin
#1 overall Power

8th Quinn
7th Cozens
8th Mittelstadt

9th Savoie

Etc etc etc

They’ve done their drafting

Now make moves

You don’t have to sacrifice the future to do it either

It took a miracle Andy Dalton pass and the Bills benched their starting QB for Nate Petermann

Of course they tore it down the following season...

Can you imagine Beane not buying out Bjork?

#1 overall Dahlin - Just started to become a complete player
#1 overall Power - rookie

8th Quinn - rookie
7th Cozens - rookie contract
8th Mittelstadt - HA

9th Savoie - Drafted 3 days ago


You make the moves when you have figured out if these guys are long term or not.

So we need next years draft too?

So what, we’re pushing until 2028 to be a contending team?

Trade the 2023 first

Tre white, Matt Milano, tremaine edmunds, Ed Oliver, Greg Rousseau

Josh Allen, Gabe Davis, Dion Dawkins, Dawson Knox, Singletary/Moss/Cook.

The Bills had to go bargain hunting first a WR (Bease and Brown) and had to overpay on both before making a trade for Diggs.

They added Miller when they're knocking on the doorstep of a Championship, they also have one of the best QBs if not the best in the league.

The Sabres are finally starting to right the ship, but unlike the NFL you can't get out of bad contracts in the NHL so they have to be careful

Apples and oranges

Well and all the trades to get in position to get certain players at the draft. Bill's didn't just sit there and wait for the players, they went and got the ones they wanted.

You stated we have drafted now trade.... Yet half those picks are rookies..... Wat are we trading for?

Cozens could be our #2 center or he could be the #2 left wing... How you gunna make a smart trade without knowing if they're even going to be here long term or even the best place to put these guys...

Trading a 2023 first in the best draft since 2015 in a year where you are a fringe playoff team at best if everything falls your way ?

We have a million prospects now.

Doesn’t matter if they’re rookies.

The drafting in bulk should be done and over with

I pulled up in my '64 Impala
They greet me with an Anderson and I started drinkin'
And from the Murray my breath start stinkin'
Left to get my Gibson, to rock that body
Before I left I hit the Tokarski

Good attempt, but didn't quite make the cut.

When KA talked about how the passion of a scout on a prospect factored into their picks, I cried a little.

Bills don't break the drought without Poyer and Hyde.

Sabres need to add something to give these kids some hope. Can't win unless you're in.

So 3yrs
- Buff36

We've heard next year could be the year.

Im not ready to rush this thing. We've STOCKED the forward and goalie cupboard.

Lets play it out a bit.

Ya'll ina rush now for no reason.

We have multiple angles to cover before trading for a 9million dollar player.

Ya. A damn Goalie.

I'd be fine with just that.

Jack Quinn 1.35 ppg in the AHL.

Lets grab Denton Heinin to push us to the playoffs though.

My lawd. Have a great night fellers

How many playoff games did the Bengals win prior to going to the SB this year ?

Breaking the drought didn’t really do as much as you think it did.

Building one of the best, if not the best, 53 man rosters in the league did

Ya. A damn Goalie.

I'd be fine with just that.
