Buffalo Sabres and the NHL: 2025 - 2026

[QCity]

What the heck is up with this draft format? The production looks like something from the Covid years, I had to shut it off.

Sabres use #9 pick to draft defenseman Radim Mrtka. He looked thrilled to join a team that hasn’t made the playoffs for 4/5ths of his life.

 

 

I was just as excited that the Sabres chose him if that matters. We will be fortunate to see him on the ice in 2029.

Well… consolation is that if he does develop into a decent player history shows that the Sabres will trade him for some hot dog water, whereupon he has a relatively high chance to soon win a Stanley Cup.

It's horrid.

I didn't even bother to watch it. I instead watched MasterChef with my wife. Seeing Gordon Ramsay throw raw meat is always entertaining.

I wonder when we get to the point where players frequently refuse to sign with the Sabres. Brendan Lemieux did that and got himself dealt as a 2nd rounder.

He looked pretty happy most of the time. I'm so glad a photographer managed to catch that expression so we can build an entire narrative about what he was feeling. Because it never gets old.

Yeah, the Sabres didn't need a top 4 right shot D-man and a gritty third liner to replace the creampuffs on this team now.
