Here's Dobber's list. Contradicts itself, including guys that it doesn't rank as prospects.

Owen Power
Jack Quinn
Devon Levi
J.J. Peterka
Jiri Kulich (54)
Matt Savoie (50)
Noah Ostlund (77)
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen
Isak Rosen (113)
Ryan Johnson
Prokhtor Poltapov
Viktor Neuchev
Viljami Marjala
Oliver Nadeau
Ryan Davis

Was just curious on their ranking. No secret I'd move guys. This team is ready to compete now and the system doesn't do much to address their weaknesses.

Everyone after Savoie is tradable in my opinion.

Leaf fans on Twitter are concerned that the first move of the Brad T era was to sign a 4th liner to a 2.5 mil contract

We should let them know how common it is

Still waiting for you to answer the question. What are you afraid of? I think we both know the answer.

So what you are telling me is that the same kinds of people exist on other boards? It doesn't make me feel any better.

Except it’s a few actually smart accounts. One is Dom who writes for the Athletic and runs his own analytics model.

They’ve won a round recently too and haven’t missed the postseason in 6 years

But you can keep pretending that the lot of us who are tired of the same thing are the unreasonable ones

Come on princess, this isn't that hard. After all, you're good at coming up with theoretical situations. If we do nothing other than 4D and vet goalie, why is that a failure? Where else are we realistically looking to upgrade? Its a legit question.

Are they closer than us to winning a cup? I must have missed it - their window was wide open and they crapped the bed. It was a failure for them, because of where they are at. But hey, now you're interested in moral victories. They have a ton of work to do.

Better yet, there are probably 20+ teams that haven't made a single move yet. Did they also lose some kind of race? In those 20 teams I dare say that most of them need to make major roster changes. What are they waiting for? We need to go tell them that they are doing it wrong.

1 year deals and 4 year deals aren’t the same.

Two minutes in making sure we all know his job is hard and he’s trying.

You probably dont care, but you come off as a crazy crybaby.

Demanding moves in June, you watch this team as much as anyone.

Why get your Hope's up? The Sabres preach patience.

You're hurting yourself for no reason

It represents the lack of urgency that this team and Adams specifically has shown since last offseason.

Of course he has a ton of time to make moves.

As the hours, days and radio appearances come and go, it gets less likely they make more than maybe 1 sizable move

I think crybaby is a better look than a bootlicker but to each their own.

I’d be a pig in poop and would be praising Adams up and down if he were to land Pesce today.

That is absurd. As we get to the draft and the first week of free agency, that is when 95% of the moves are made for ANY team.

Again, you pointed out how good Jersey's GM is. And he is obviously very good. What did he do last offseason? Palat, Haula, and Vanacek. All acquired after the first week of July. The former had 8 and 14 goals, respectively. Vanacek was very very good, until he was terrible. Was he too busy doing radio spots before then?

What did he do the offseason before that? Sign Dougie Hamilton, the best UFA D man. What did Adams do? Sign Eric Comrie, the 85th best goalie this past season.

Those two are in different leagues

Do you really think that Adams would have been allowed to sign Doug Hamilton to that contract? Really? And why would we want a guy at his age when it didn't fit our timeline?

We took 2 huge jumps in points last year while many of the kids syrocketed - why isn't that a win? The bigger point is that New Jersey did the same. Their core is also almost completely guys that they drafted.

Guys,

I have been a little AWOL the last couple of months, life got in the way, kids medical issues, family stuff, etc. But I am back.

I made the biggest mistake this morning and that was doing some back reading. I should know better. That is on me.

But since the draft is tonight and I am finally able to breathe, can we please cut the crap? The personal attacks, the politics, the unoriginal blatant trolling, it's all BS. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone, what happened to being able to have a conversation without it turning into a full blown out attack? It's not even original anymore.

We are all adults (at least age wise) this isn't a "can we all just get along" plea, it is a final warning. Stop the political posts, stop the personal attacks. There will be no warnings anymore, just stop. This page is one of, if not the most active page on this site. That is a good thing, it means we care about this team. We all want the same thing, to celebrate a Championship, it is okay to disagree how we get there. Just stop the name calling, and the personal attacks. It is not that hard to do. As mentioned, the flag function doesn't work anymore. I will be doing my best to monitor, but it shouldn't be needed. Let's grow up please.

Lastly, you can have Gerbe (twice)

That would be a franking huge win in my book. Only other thing on my wish list would be a power forward with Talent. Tyler Bertuzzi Like...
