    I hope he can grow a few more inches the next couple of years.

  2. I have an 81% chance of shitting myself tonight

  3. I like it but was really hoping for a trade for an actual NHL player

  4. Straight_Landscape37

    They were praising his two-way game during the breakdown so that’s very encouraging.

    Another waste of a pick. This team is run by 🤡🤡🤡

    What are the odds he helps the Sabres make the playoffs next year?

    Honestly really good value pick. I don’t think his value is going to drop at all, so if we still want to make a trade, we can do it later

    Interestingly, just the fourth player ever to play at the U18, U20 and men’s world championships in the same year.

  9. I love the pick, just would have loved more to see it used as part of a package for an NHL top 6.

    Remember last draft, Kevin said something like “we are going to get shit for picking another undersized forward” immediately before standing up to pick my favorite player ever, zach benson.

    How should I feel about this, I know absolutely nothing in depth about the team. Is it a big problem that this wasn’t traded like everyone wanted?

  12. “Desperately trying to trade the pick but unable to” is not the thing you want to hear before a pick is made. Sounds like if the pick ends up being great it will be a surprise to Adams.

  13. Aight I’ve never heard of this guy before right now but I will shiv anyone who says anything negative about him

    Let’s gooooo! So hyped by this pick. Was the star of our World Juniors team

  15. [Here’s a video](https://youtu.be/fG80mD-ExO0?t=578) of his I saw a few months ago that gave me a fantastic first impression of him. Getting Olli Jokinen and the rest of the bench of pros to crack up about his bleeding face as a 17 year old made me love his attitude.

    (My second impression was that I saw his demeanor more as cockiness as I didn’t think he looked quite as smart and hard working on the ice as people had said but hopefully my first impression was the right one). 🙂

    How long until they have this kid on the phone trying to sell season tickets?

  17. Lmao this is not what we needed. Another year another failure. Fire Adams.

    I want to say that this player got snubbed completely very lucky pick up he’s gonna be great.

  19. Ballbuster716

    So you’re saying there’s a chance (he’s not an NHLer)

  20. Whydothesabressuck

    That’s basically the same size as Crosby

  21. JoeSchmohawk93

    I would’ve been happy with this pick at 11 OA so can’t complain about the value here. Just please don’t draft twice in the second tomorrow

  22. I like the player. Disappointed they couldn’t move the pick to help the team out now though.

    Adams looked absolutely miserable walking up there to make this pick. Could tell he was desperate to trade it

  23. So he’ll be league average height and weight as an adult
