What’s more valuable (rank in order):

1) 24’ 1st
2) Levi
3) 25’ 1st
4) Benson
5) Savoie
6) R Johnson
7) Kulich
8) Ostlund
9) Rosen
10) Whalberg

What do the Sabres need?

- washedup20


This is actually quite accurate. Those picks and Ostlund Rosen should ideally be our trade bait, but I would trade any Sabre not named UPL or Dahlin in the right package. UPL might still become expendable, but I think we need to see his growth next year.

Stars are planets, they are huge, you want measurements in feet? That’s inefficient

So weird! This coach must not want to win. Okposo is stapled to the bench with less than 4 minutes left?
- Da_Cashman

He could’ve (at least had a chance to) tied the game, but yakked on the puck that popped out to him all alone w/the goalie.

Those are much better talking points than where his birthday falls.

Getting more PP time and a better opportunity are not givens. If he earns it and produces, that would be great. He should have more competition this year.

You've been begging them to be more open to all the prospects and their potential by having a new member of the top line.

Now you're not...?

He's starting to get a mean side to him to, very impressive in his development so far

Why does that logic not apply to small skilled guys, that can't throw the weight around when needed?
- washedup20


No idea the degree or frequency you watch Sabres games, but Benson was embracing his inner Marchand the 2nd half of the season, being a rodent like pest many, many times.

That is an excellent, underrated bit of his progress that will help going forward.

Feels like they have 5 guys slated as 3LW. Benson is one of them. Still a big question of how this fits together under Lindy and what they do this summer. The plan was not Skinner sliding down to 3LW this year. That was clearly planned for these kids.
- Lunaion


But that is what you were hoping for -- a young player taking a top line roster spot, was it not?

No idea what you're attempting to say here.

same thing was said 12 months ago

I will believe it when I see it at this point

- homiedclown


If you will believe it when you see it, then what the (frank) makes you think any of those prospects you mentioned are going to take the roster spot of Benson, who already has one NHL season under his belt?

some update as they get older vs when they were 18 year old


- homiedclown


Would love to know where CapFriendly gets their height and weight info from.

I can guarantee you that Pavelski didn't weigh nearly 200 pounds when he was drafted, so that isn't the reason.

Marchand’s only cup was when he was on a roster filled with giants, if Benson becomes Marchard (he won’t) that would be nice.

I'll gleefully be happy with one cup and perennially being a top team who lives in the playoffs.

Used to go with this gal from Colorado.

I called her team the Assalanche.

She called my team the Butthole Sabres.

That's it. That's the post.

Your biggest needs are spot on.
That said, I don't see Kevy acquiring a Top 4 Dman unless they trade Sammy. With him and Johnson (fully ready for Top 4 in another season) in the fold, I think they believe they have that covered... And I don't necessarily disagree.

Washed missed Joker and/or Bryson in his list as well as Krebs, all as potential throw-ins to bigger deals
