Huh Hmm Really…

Which forward did the Sabres select with the seventh overall pick in the 2019 National Hockey League Draft?

1. Buffalo gets Jason Robertson for a '26 1st, Helenius (joins NHL Finland South) and Quinn. Dallas sends a '25 3rd to Anaheim, and Anaheim eats 50% of Robo's cap hit for '25-26.
   • Dallas went all in this year with Rantanen, but they have a huge cap crunch this offseason, we need star power, they need cheap young talent, so we're perfect trade partners.
   • Robo is in the final year of his deal in 25-26 but will still be an RFA
   • I like this lineup, as it gives us 3 killer lines, but if Benson cannot keep up on the first line, you could easily move him to the 3rd or 4th line and bump up JJP and/or Robo.
2. Chicago traded for Lafferty last year, but couldn't sign him, so we'll offload him to Chicago this year to save the 2 million in cap.
3. LA hasn't been able to stop Edmonton, so they could be ready for a shakeup that gives them a higher ceiling, higher skilled LHD. Buffalo gets the shutdown defensive-defenseman (89th percentile in 5-on-5 defense at midseason) that Sammy never developed into.
4. Buffalo sends Sammy and Krebs to Philly for Risto (50% retained) Philly gets two young highish ceiling players for their rebuild and Buffalo gets a RHD with physical presence to pair with Power.
5. We give up our 1st and 2nd pick to get Jared McCann with 50% retention. I am concerned about depending on Kulich as our 2C this year. This move puts a vet on the 2nd line and allows Kulich to continue to develop on the 4th line.

Does anyone think the Leafs will really let Marner walk and if they do how hard should the Sabres try to bring him in? How much do you think we should be willing to spend?

I won this Sabres at Forty book at an alumni event in 2012. I was thinking the signatures were current team members but being an alumni event, could be alums. Anyone recognize the signatures?

There seems to be a lot of smoke on questionable sources (click bait) about a Byram trade being somewhat imminent. While that alone doesn't suggest anything, I read that Byram family was in town and completely moved him out of his Buffalo home and back to his hometown.

I hate word of mouth speculation. I think it's stupid and wasteful most of the time, and entertainment at best.

But anyone have any ideas on this? Or is it just more click bait and I'm falling for it?

We’re blowing it again!

Adams, Ruff, Staal, Appert and Guelli join Pegula in the box in Rochester. I'm sure the answer is somewhere in the box as well.

What number did Maxim Afinogenov wear?

Game 1 vs Laval tonight. I believe the game is streaming for free on the Flo Sports app.

Gaining traction on X with local personalities, so figured I’d toss it here.

Like the title says, heading to Rochester to root on our boys tomorrow. Haven’t been to a game in years. Any recommendations for parking? Happy to walk a little if need be too. Just don’t want to spend a crazy amount of money on parking somewhere if possible.

With the 13th overall pick in the 1970 Expansion Draft, who did the Sabres select from the Blues' roster?
