Description

The team i'm most confused about. What is Kevyn Adams' plan Sabres fans? Here are all the Sabres prospects taken with 1st & 2nd round draft picks.

A lot of people seems to love the way the Sabres Draft. Small and skilled is the Sabres way to go, but how many small "offense first" players can you have in the same lineup at the same time? Playoff teams are built with two-way players and toughness. Sabres have none of that.

Is this a recipe for success?
And why don't the Sabres Draft right shot d-man?

I'm kinda hopeful for the Sabres. The plan....draft well, which may not be helpful for a couple of years. The guys on the roster just gotta play better. The Sabres do have cap to get a useful UFA or two.

Why would you waste picks drafting for need, which historically never works, when you are the one team who has two first overall picks on the blue line? And that's before factoring in that Dahlin does his best work on the right side.
