It's a sixth round pick. It would have been nice to take a forward there of course. However, I think we're over analyzing a 6th round pick, which has what a 5% chance of making an impact at the NHL level.

Can you answer me why we need an overrated Faulk? What exactly are you trading them?

All about the defense. The kid in the 7th was ranked as the 92nd overall talent. What a weird draft.

So much D. Well we did need a large crop to influx into our depth, I didn't think all but one pick would be D.

Swede Invasion.

I like the picks so far. I'm fine with this. There were small preferences, but this is in no way a bad pick.

Mascherin at all of interest? Or is he more of a 5th rounder, due to the over age re-entry draft?

Oops, sorry. I was out at that point after mid point.

For the fourth round pick up coming.

Who's the best at the moment, Nils Lunqvist?

He's a good pick, I like McIsaac more than him as he has a little more offensive upside. But, it's a good pick that definitely improves our back end. This is where the Sabres had to invest some of their capital in picks. Now hopefully it's offense going forward.

The Islanders and Wings are killing it. WTH is Montreal doing. Ylonen was a good pick, but Romanov? Who are you kidding?

Wahlstrom is someone I'm so high on, jesus if there were a way to climb up!

Hayton is a solid prospect, but this is a shock. Zadina to #6, I'd be on the phone. Ugh, crazy!

Drombuie flowing, the dogs at my side, AC on in Phoenix AZ.

Thank you so much!

Does anyone have a steam. NBC isn't working for me.

Skinner is a bum, on the other hand Lindholm is a player I'd love to return in a deal for Ryan O'Reilly. If they were willing to send him here with a 2nd and another piece.

DRAFT DAY BAY BAY! Chicken Wings and a cold one to watch The Swedish Invasion continue!

The first news to trend this team upwards. Letting go of past mistakes, owning them and not trying to reap a reward from a sinking asset. Lehner was at times good for Buffalo at others a complete headcase. Good luck Robin!

He reminds of Boeser as well. He's the one guy outside of Kotkaniemi that I'm all about as far as outside the top 2 forwards. So if we had a shot at Wahlstrom, I'd be swinging to bring him in. He's easily as tantalizing a talent as anyone and he's a better skater than Zadina.

This isn't going to happen. Trading for a player who can opt to UFA, is 29 coming off a very average season and conditional second. We'll easily keep O'Reilly over trading him to an in-division rival for a player who's entering the start of his 30th year old season. There is NO WAY this happens.

Remains, sent down for more seasoning (eventually called up) and signs new tender and sent down.

I think that is dependent on pressures to pursue the right fit for a top six center as well as the team's window for a push at the cup and the cap flexibility available. So I do think it's not impossible to get in around the top five area. Bergevin already took a downgrade on Galchenyuk. Berggren is an interesting case of a high riser who makes sense for the teams build going forward. I also like Olofsson a bit. There are a number of interesting prospects that should be in that range. Somewhere I want to snag Jack Drury, the more I watch of this kid, the more I just want him in the system. He seems like a sneaky good play.

This is a joke right? For a team that doesn't have the depth to accommodate adding that kind of cap, trading our best defensive forward for Karlsson who isn't getting younger and has had some injury problems lately and doesn't play defense. This is a terrible idea. Build up the depth of the D. If you want to go for the fences, then why not try to trade for one of the CLB studs in their lower 20's. I understand the attraction to Karlsson, but the Sabres are in their infancy of climbing out of the black hole of hell's despair that Regeir and Murray buried their fans under. Now I WAS a believer at the beginning of Murray. However, look at the totality of the sum of all parts. Scrap this, and focus on getting faster and younger. I know that futures isn't the attractive idea. However, the post earlier in this thread with a St. Louis Blues for 2019 1st, Robert Thomas and Vince Dunn. Which would put the team in the path of adding more and not less. Yes, quality over quantity. However, this team needs to add youth, speed, and skill. Not age, decline and contract purgatory. It's great to quantify possibilities. But until Ullmark or UPL or another goalie comes in, and the depth is cohesive and our coaching structure works, this team is still barely a 10 seed let a lone making it to the 8th. I will continue to be realistic.
