Regardless of what Adams and some posters on here believe, even if you fill the roster with speed and talent, some of those players will adjust and fill roles. Only 1 puck, hockey remains a physical sport (fighting is the main driver still for new eyeballs).

The Sabres need to fill the toughness void vs the continued push to build an elite figure skating team.

Yeah sure. You just don't do it with 13OA and a guy that still has a lot of upside. Unless its Tom Wilson.

But he actually produces unlike Keegan Koelsar. not even a ppg in the Echl

and you want to give up a top 15 pick in what people are calling the best draft since 2015. PLUS a player. Ludicrous I tell you. Ludicrous!

Thats what the NHL used to think.

Problem is the people who say they only like fights in hockey arent going to watch hockey if there are more fights because the quality of those fights aren't good.

So the league stopped trying to market to them.

I could find a Keegan Kolesar replica in the bargain bin.

WTF are we even talking about here. Horrible Asset management

Agreed, people will watch Kolesar fight, they might even watch Murray fight.

No one, I mean even the blind are not tuning in to watch Krebs/Okposo/Girgs/Jost fight.

He wanted the extra term and a better team. Sabres offered the same money, one less year. Plus Ralph tax

1 year @ 2.6m. That's how KA felt about him. He practically pushed him to leave.

Reaves is FA. Throw money at him if you want a guy that all he does is HIT.

Dont throw away a top 15 pick PLUS a young player with upside.

I love the ganja but lay off bud

Comps aren’t your strength, it’s ok.

Good to learn how you view player types though, thanks.

You're offering 13OA in what could be the best draft in years. PLUS another young player..... for a 4th line player.

That is an actual joke.

Not addressing a need while drafting 13OA could result in 13 years of no playoffs and another burned year of existing core players for what “could be” in the future.

That will continue the reality of what players think of Buffalo, a joke.

Crouse- Vejmelka would be a fine get!! I have been wanting Crouse for a few years. Maybe I hire one of those Hot Air Balloons. Have him fly over Adams house all day with a sign Crouse-Vejmelka on it.
