Flyers are the wild card in that division! Unless Torts pulls a magician act, I really do not see the Flyers making the playoffs. Will they be better .....perhaps. But worthy of a playoff spot. IMHO ....no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's probably a decent prospect that might become a middle six winger. He's currently a center, but I suspect he won't be if/when he makes the NHL. Who knows? My issue with it was Kemell was still sitting there and, I think, the better player. I'm not familiar with 6 with Buffalo's (deep) talent pool so maybe they decided to take a swing at center depth rather than a goal-scoring winger who many scouts had in or near the top 10. Still a decent pick here, but wouldn't have been my choice. I don't know enough about their third pick to comment. At that point it's a little more of a crap shoot. It didn't seem terrible, though. I think Buffalo fans should probably be happy overall. The sabres seem like a team that's coming. And soon. I hope so. But we need a goalie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the Sabres addressed the need for offense by drafting guys that could potentially offer that at the NHL level, but again, we will see over the course of the next two or three seasons. Other than Savoie, your first rounder, I am not too sure the other picks will make an immediate impact this coming season. No doubt at least two or maybe all three may go to Rochester. That might bake the Americans a better team for sure. If nothing is done in the goalie situation then I have to assume they are going with Luukenen? Still hoping they pull a trade or pick up one of these guys. Maybe even Holtby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To hell with them. I am an O's fan for life I think it's a bad idea for his development and I wouldn't waste an ELC year that way, I don't care if there's an AHL team on every corner. Cole Caufield isn't a great comparison because he was going to college, but similar size concerns. He didn't hit pro for two years after being drafted. Savoie is small (Savoie is 5'9") and only 18. I would keep him in junior at least one more year. Buffalo has young centers so there's no reason to destroy Savoie's career before it even starts by rushing him.

I get what your saying but it all depends. If the kid is ready, do not hold him back either. Powers is going to start this year, I assure you. Its only going to help him, and us. Luukenen had better be ready. He has had ample developement time. Now its time to see him start if we do not pull off a deal or pick up one of these free agents. Its rare for Buffalo to make a big splash in free agency because we are in a small market. Von Miller was a pretty big deal by the Bills, but the Bills are favored in Vegas to win the Super Bowl. And that is a rare thing around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They (the Sabres) did the smart thing and waited. And Powers is 6'6" it's not like he's going to be run over. I think he's coming up a year early, actually, but I think he'll be okay. More pressure to push him because he's a first overall. I highly doubt you see Savoie in New York other than at a development camp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, HJ, the ENTIRE draft is filled with "young punks" Question always is... did teams pick the RIGHT punks for them?? According to most draft experts, the Sabres overall did very well on draft day. Like I said to you in an earlier post, the Sabres looked to address offense, and it looks like they did that throughout the draft. Almost all are at least two to three seasons away (except Savoie if they start him in the NHL right away), but all Buffalo's picks seemingly have one thing in common: They are good offensively. Whether they translate to the North American pro game or not is another question, as per usual with young kids. Oh, and Buffalo did grab another goalie as well in that group. 11 total picks for the draft. Here is the link to Buffalo's own site, where they talk a bit about each guy if you want to have a read yourself:https://www.nhl.com/sabres/news/2022-nhl-draft-tracker-sabres-to-pick-8-times-on-day-2/c-334876098 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Adams is sleep at the wheel. Maybe he has something up his sleeve....these days hard to say. A few options on the market. Kuemper??? Halak?? Holtby?? Yeah not sure...
