Wasn't he picked right before Cozens....whoops on that one - turbo044
He was considered the steal of the draft at that time.
It’s an odd situation all around. |

He has skill no doubt about that, but let's hold off anointing him from 3 on 3 games against kids who 80% won't step foot in the NHL.

Maybe he lived on the wrong side of 8 mile in Detroit, a bad real estate agent can ruin your life.
Set him up in Lockport and let him thrive... |

I like the kids game, I have no issue with him being selected by Buffalo.
I would be worried if he wasn't standing out in these games

The “anger” is because those of us that can math recognize the depth of the prospect pool, and the roster spots we have available. Nobody thought we weren’t going to get a promising player at 13. You keep thinking you’re scoring points but what’s really happening is you’re mischaracterizing the arguments being made, and demonstrating an inability to count. And yes..whatever we trade we hurt a little. That’s why we call them good prospects.

Perry would've been a better option as a leader in that locker room - his winning career and edge he bring to the game would be worth over paying for.
I never said the youth doesn't need mentorship but the approval to use roster spots for coaching/support roles is bad when there are voids in the roster that could be filled using those spots.
Culture is important, it doesn't take this long to implement it. The Eichel drama was self-inflicted - no one to blame but ownership. Adams slow and cautious climb out of that dark era is what is the most likely reason you and I, along with many on here are at an impasse on the future direction of the organization.
You said yesterday you trust Adams process, which hasn't worked yet, but more power to you. He has yet to field a balanced roster and the holes each season remain constant.
A football locker room and a hockey locker room are vastly different so while looking into how the Bills turned it around (drafted an elite quarterback and developed him properly) is not my concern on fixing the Sabres. - washedup20
Adams process is working ….. have you been watching the last 2 years?

Should have traded the pick
Glad we made the pick
Benson looks good
He should look good
Any reason to ever be excited?

With all do respect, we are so far away from a cup team it's not even funny, - SABRES 89
We weren't even a playoff team last year. You think we turn into a cup contender in one off-season by signing duchene over Okposo? 😂😂
Love what Adam's is doing. Finally a GM with a plan and not shooting from the hip |

I mean I get it, he's talking in totality.
Also, if anyone had any doubts that they didn't love Mittelstadt by now, welp.. they love Mittelstadt.
And for once, that's ok. Just something to think about when you're setting up trade props. - TheSabresTaco
He literally said he has no clue how to build his roster until 35 year old free agents are available hahaha |

Short answer yes. Long answer isn’t worth it because no matter how an answer is phrased you’ll grab something completely out of context and slam dunk on it convinced you’ve made a point. And then the same three sock puppet accounts will all magically appear and agree with you.

If I could have gotten a impact player with term that helped me now, I still would have traded the pick. |

Everything about the way you behave screams insecurity. From the self-aggrandizing name, to the sock puppet accounts, to the passive aggressive use of emojis like a 13 year old girl. You can’t help yourself.
Although you have been better lately. That’s piqued my curiosity a bit. |

Zach Benson is extremely good and is worthy of a top 10 pick. His height, and Arizona being Arizona, allowed him to fall to us.
People (local media/bloggers) were spazzing out for two months wondering if Benson would fall to us due to size. Getting a kid like that allows you to use a prospect asset like a Rosen to improve your team.
If the Sabres start reaching playoff level hockey, those prospects are going to be worth more than our first round picks.
Something to consider. |
