2022 NHL Entry Draft Part 4 (#9, #16, #28)

[jc17]

I’m not that worried about it. Adams talked up the qualities he’s looking for in a Sabre pick and compete was prominently in it.

If they draft him, would you be more likely to think Adams isn't sticking to his word, or that Geekie's compete might be higher than he's been given credit for

It's hard to drink chicken blood through a straw. They move too much.

My curses never seem to work either. I always mess something up...that's why Eichel was able to play again.

 

[Irie]

I have a feeling the draft tomorrow is gonna be a roller coaster

Hopefully it is the exciting kind of roller coaster that once you get off, you immediately want to ride again, and not the kind of roller coaster with unexpected twists and turns where everyone tends to puke...

I’ll have no choice to assume he’s lying and tall is what he really meant

I think one of our curses has worked just fine - Tim Murray is not working in the NHL.

 

[Snippit]

Inject Savoie into my veins.

It will only require a short needle.

 

[EichHart]

I feel like we have enough sandpaper and grit in our lineup already. We are missing that highly skilled player. Give me Savoie.

Really?


Heh.


It seems like they don't have enough of either.

I think quite the opposite.

 

[EichHart]

Heh.

Do we have anyone that's going to finish as top 10-20 player in the league in pts? We're missing that star prospect. Rather swing for the fences as this might be the highest we draft for awhile.

Ummmmm what now? We've got skill and more skill coming. It's the sandpaper we're sorely lacking.

On the blueline, our sandpaper is Samuelsson and that's it. Among forwards? Asplund and Girgensons are a PITA to play against. Cozens might develop into more of a PITA. Tuch is hit and miss.

We need more high-end sandpaper.

We have very little high end skill. It's Quinn and that's it.

 

[markpenske]

haven't read about any players in this draft that play with grit or toughness.

Potentially Quinn?

That said, it seems unlikely given where the Sabres are drafting and the general player base overall that anyone in this draft is going to finish in the top 10-20 players in the league in scoring. Even Savoie if he were the pick - at 5'9" and 180ish lbs, the kid has an uphill battle to be that sort of impact player at the NHL level. Is it worth going in on yet another small offensive player to go along with the collection of 6' or less guys they already have, or is it an opportunity to gamble on taking something else?

I get Mark Janikowski vibes from Geekie.

Kasper.

Gauthier, Ohgren, Lutz, and Snuggerud go into dirty areas and aren't sub 6'ers.

 

[Reddawg]

I don't think he'll be quite that good

 

[truthbluth]

I don't think he'll be quite that good

Damn

 

[Zman5778]

haven't read about any players in this draft that play with grit or toughness.

Then you're not reading the right stuff.

Higher-end forwards in our range: Gauthier, McGroarty, Snuggerrud. Kasper and Yurov are gritty.

Among defensemen in our range: Bichsel, Warren, Lamoreaux are pretty damned tough.

nice.
All good grit players I guess I was thinking more along "fighters" tough

Don’t we want Toronto to hire him?

 

[Sabrefan99]

If Wright falls to four…what would it cost to move up from 9?

I could see that. I don't mind Geekie as much as others, but I get it

 

[Reddawg]

Seattle would never deal that pick under any conceivable circumstances. They'd be giving away 10 years worth of Wright and Beniers as their top 2 centers.
