Not worth the read - he mentions that everybody loves our prospect pool then says he doesn't. Pure contrarian, click bait play. He doesn't even mention some of our more interesting prospects, like the two big russian Dmen, one of which was voted best defenseman in Juniors two straight years.

Because if they didn't, they'd never get to have any.

Lol

I do find it funny despite knowing it shows what level they are operating on

Need to start the game to get onto a level. I think we're still on the loading screen.

It's been 4 years since the Sabres brought in a top6 forward that had the right to choose (Hall). Tuch was the only other since Adams came aboard and he had no choice in the matter.

Couldn't help myself.

Today is a good day to trade for Ehlers.

Why cause someone has a different opinion on our prospects. Interesting with what just happened

Farabee or someone out of left field. Like a Rakell or Granlund

It's a shame with all the high picks and we still don't know if any can take a Top 6 spot

Who wrote this, a twelve year old? There is nothing of substance in this article. It doesn't deep dive into WHY this person thinks they're overrated. At least give reasons why. "So and so projects to be 'this'" aren't reasons. Maxim Strbak is a better prospect than Ryan Johnson, who is isn't even mentioned? 😂 Laughable.

I actually wouldn't mind Granlund, guy can dish the puck, might be able to drop JJ down with Cozens then. Granlund feeding Tage and Tuch could be intriguing.

Yes, Ok seems to mention a lot of our prospects in the Article, didn't delve into our B prospects much. How long do you want it to be. It's his opinion, just like any other hockey writer. Funny how anyone that disagrees with what the Sabres do or have done. Right away, oh they don't know what there Talking about, with what just happened with Savoie and I am not taking anything away from McLeod. Maybe our prospect pool isn't as good as We think.

Never mind a contrarian view. What I don't like is an incomplete view. Where's Wahlberg mentioned, where are the two Russian D with huge upside, not to mention all the Russian Forwards? Where is Brodie (drafted in rd 3). He seems to want to come across as an expert, yet, to the educated Sabres fan, comes across as someone who really hasn't studied our prospects. That all....everybody has the right to write whatever they want.

Not sure I'd be too upset about that. He just can't play defense at all. Kind of the identity we're trying to get rid of.

I don't hate it and despite what the Sharks say (they want a big return) he simply isn't worth that. Maybe we can swoop in later this year and get a decent price.

Granlund would be a really good get - prob wouldn't cost too much, with the expiring contract. Prob more realistic than the others too, cuz:

FARABEE - just had the same exact surgery we didn't let Eichel get
ZEGRAS - Pricey and might rub the Sabres the wrong way
KONECTNY - Expiring contratc and wants 8+million per year
EHLERS - Expiring contract and WIN weant too much for him

Grier and Adams seem to have a line of communication, and I can't see a huge return for him maybe a 2nd and B prospect. But who knows
