GDT: Sabres at Wild, 2:00 p.m. EDT; March 22, 2025

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server

We were all on Rossi here.

Also would have avoided the Nylander debacle before he got here if Murray had listened. He’d have gotten a solid D.

Any moron could have picked Benson at 13. Hell, this one did.

Several pounding the table for Caulfield in 19 too

Not entirely true. I was about Lundell from the beginning of that draft as a 200 foot responsible middle 6 center.

I wanted Zegras in 2019.

You were pounding this board in 2016 to draft a winger for Eichel, if I remember correctly.

I as good with either. They didn’t play together. Now I am wondering if the O’Reilly factor has set in with Quinn.

Looking back at the draft thread, to find out why I had that thought about the board. There was a lot of love for Rossi, Raymond, Askarov, Lundell overall, with a lot of people happy most with Rossi if he was there especially before the draft.

Came away, as mentioned earlier, the Quinn love seemed to be about the justification to like the pick and that’s probably what clouded that memory.

Quinn is a premier triggerman, that was an allure. Problem is, Quinn doesn't seem to be taking his career seriously and that is a massive problem.

He even played some other sport at the same time and chose hockey quite late, maybe he just doesn’t care or doesn’t want to play in Buffalo.

Between this thought about Quinn and the comments on Cozens, almost feels like the two guys should’ve been in a better environment to develop and learn the professional aspect of the game than being up with the big club that was struggling to learn to win, and also trying to become better professionals.

We’re now experiencing the consequences of poor decisions at the management level years later.

Correct.

And if you could read what was being responded to it was about taking a fan consensus not doing the bidding of one person’s opinion.

Which is why each one of my responses was about the GENERAL CONSENSUS not my personal opinion.

But then…I actually read the posts I reply to.

I love draft revisionist history.

So interesting.

I asked CoPilot what the take was on the Sabres picking Quinn. This was the answer.

"The Buffalo Sabres' decision to select Jack Quinn with the 8th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft sparked mixed reactions. Quinn was recognized as a talented goal scorer, having netted 52 goals in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) during the 2019-2020 season. However, some analysts and fans questioned whether the Sabres should have chosen his Ottawa 67's teammate, Marco Rossi, who was considered a more well-rounded prospect.

Supporters of the pick highlighted Quinn's potential as a sniper and his rapid development in junior hockey, which made him an intriguing choice. Critics, on the other hand, felt that the Sabres might have reached for Quinn, as he was initially projected to be a mid-to-late first-round pick. The debate largely centered on whether Quinn's goal-scoring ability would translate effectively to the NHL level."

It would be interesting to export our draft thread and get AI to summarize the board's view.

I don't know how it could be considered a reach... I mean McKenzie had him at 10

So I fed a tiny portion of the 2016 posting into ChatGPT. It thinks Logan Brown was a popular choice, and that many people appreciated Laine's skill and personality.

Someone could export all of the posts (I think there's like 1500 or so) into a text and try it; but GPT can't access the posts directly.
 
Unrelated ChatGPT thinks the worst trades of the 2000s to be:

1. Iginla
2. Hall for Larsson
3. Kessel
4. Byfuglien to Chicago
5. Hamilton to Carolina
6. Myers for Kane
7. Pronger to Pittsburg

So you take what you will
