I know the answer. So I am not saying

But it’s not shocking

I dont want to spoil it for others to guess but

I can definitely think of one. The other two I think I know. Did one of them leave and then come back?

Jay McKee easily passes that without the injuries.

I mean, so (frank)ing what.

Ryan Miller also played 8.5ish full seasons here which would be over 600 if he weren't a goalie

I'll give credit where it's due, Jeremy drives the Sabres bus.

Schopp avoids the Sabres like the (frank)ing plague.

They'd rather talk about some Mahomes or Burrows statline in the beginning of July than anything about the Sabres.

When Bulldog is alone you'll get more Sabres talk.

Last two times I listened, Schopp initiated the conversation about his kid's moving up day and his trip to get blood work. He is the definition of crap.

Yes, they tried. It didn’t work that happens. Sometimes you can’t be afraid to take the rest though.

If Buffalo were to trade a rumored of that amount for one player, they would probably still have the third or fourth best prospect system in the entire league so I don’t understand what the issue is

Are they top 5 today, once you graduate Power, Quinn, and Peterka?

It really had the potential to be a good night for the NHL to get exposure to new fans. Instead, they swung and missed big time. I thought Dierks was a decent host, but the interviews by his son were painful. Then they cut to commercial mid way thru most of the music performances that I actually wanted to hear. And Biz being a complete ass clown all night was just the cherry on the sh*t sundae. I made it about halfway thru.

Hockey writer's mid season top 100 (non-G) had Kulich as their top prospect at #20. Without a top end guy, I don't think they rank quite that high.

Saw a few lists that still include Power. One had them at 3 the other at 7.

I went out to the concourse and drank until it was over.
I wonder of Dierks kid got paid for that or if he took all the money?
There were a ton of gorgeous women there.

You're looking in the wrong place for Sabres information:

I’m confused then.

All I’ve heard was how amazing all these prospects coming are and how we can’t trade any of them.
Either they aren’t all that good and should be traded before they flame out or this fan base knows more than the collective hockey community.

You can’t sit there and pound the table for how amazing it all is and then say well they really aren’t ranked that high.

A true Sabres fan would look at the women and say picking them up is hard and settle for the late night dishwasher getting off her shift at the end of the night.

If you combine all the forward prospects qualities into one prospect the Sabres rank #1 - the Sabres have the best transformers prospect pool which cannot be argued.

Again, you're making stuff up in order to make a sweeping conclusion. Nobody has said any of this.

I think in Pronman's list of prospects (not actual players, so OP is not in there) we had 7 in the top 100. Considering we have a pretty full roster now, that is exciting to think about (and yes, we should move one/some for help now).

I had to look up the 3rd one. I feel shame. My wrong guesses were Risto (500 some) and Lindy (over 600 but too early)

I completely forgot about Lindy. I think people forget that the one guy was a fairly high draft pick. We forget that guys like Peters were taken high and not just undrafted free agents that fought their way through the minors.
