GDT: Draft Day GDT -- Sabres current picks: 14, 42, 71, 108, 123, 172, 204, 219

I've cooled on him a bit. Yeah, he'd be our 3C.....but he's not that great defensively and he's not all that physical. Yeah, he's better than Krebs......but ideally, I'd like to aim higher.

Are there 80 centers in the league better than Colton? That's roughly what he'd need to be an above average 3C. I still like him compared to the UFA crop.


I've been thinking with all the talk of improving defensively and physically, we're still going to be an offense-centric team with our talent and make-up. We're still going to try/need to outscore teams, but hopefully with a wider variety of goals (tips, rebounds, PP sets).

A few thoughtful additions towards responsibility and toughness will help, but Lindy instituting more structure and discipline should work wonders alone relative to where Donnie had us. As such, I think we're still suited to add speedy skill players as long as they aren't absolute zeros defensively.

Lost in the trade today Duffer & Marty said today to keep and eye on Ehlers. Duffer did call a pick swap earlier in the show before it happened.

I’d be down for that

Ehlers + McGroarty for 14 + i dk probably Savoie

I'd rather do Kulich, Rosén, RyJo, or rights to Joki.

So would I, but Winnipeg, former home of the ice, probably like the local guy, on a blind guess.

I'm no Ehlers fan and I do that quick. My guess is we'd have to add something else to get both.

Won’t he be a UFA after next year?

Got an extra 2nd not to spend it on a solid player?

To quote Jack O’Callahan in Miracle, “He’s not gonna do a damn thing, boys. He’s just messing with our minds.”

 

[enthusiast]

At first blush, reminds me of not getting Neiderreiter in 23

What about Krebs and a second instead of Savoie

Gives Winnipeg an nhler to play next season

I'd much rather part with prospects than guys on the roster right now.

This is not equal value lol

 

[Sabre the Win]

I could see a McGroarty/Kulich swap maybe. It would make me nervous but I could see it and get behind it.

That would be so dumb for Adams to do that.

Big sad.. f*** you Kevyn Adams

 

[Reddawg]

There is talk that the frontrunners for McGroarty are CBJs, Sabres and NYI.

I would be thrilled with a Rutger acquisition

 

[DapperCam]

Adams definitely seems like he is a little bit too precious with his assets, and worried about "losing" a trade on value.

 

[Ehran]

Has to mean there is something in the works, right?

Otherwise Mangiapone for a 2nd seems exactly what KA was talking about wanting to do.

 

[Sabreality]

NTC's are a thing ya know.

 

[Sabre the Win]

NTC's are a thing ya know.

I'm so tired of this being an excuse.

Oh. I missed that part of the equation . Thanks for pointing that out.

I can't wait to hear how he tried.

Cool. So pretend you could've done something about and rage away I guess.
