I'm really hoping for a top 10 pick. Have not read any hype for anyone ranked past 10. Buffalo currently sits in draft slot 9 prior to the lottery with 79 points and 2 games to go. Teams that we can still pass: Ottawa 81 points 2 games to play NJ 82 points 2 games to play Colorado 82 points 2 games to play If we win out and those three lose out we could still end 12th pre-lottery. I know I didn't want to cheer for losses but even one more loss (even in OT) and the worst draft spot we can be is 10th pre-lottery. I think the drop off is right at about 10 this season and the difference between picking 12th vs 10th is far greater than picking 10th vs 6th or 7th.

Bailey?

:lol:

We made an offseason avatar bet. If the Sabres draft in the top 5 then he picks my avatar. Outside of the top 5 and I pick his. This is true, but I just don't like our odds. I like the breakdown. Didn't realize we would have such a high percentage chance moving down. Ugh.

Hey Pi, I'm planning a nice avatar for you :devil:

Nice thanks for that. Is it October yet?

This is amazing

'Stuck' in Florida with no feed of the game. Anyone with a gif of the goal?

I really like this point. So true.

It's going to be such an interesting draft. After the top 3 there is no consensus between picks 5-8 or 9. I see Juolevi anywhere from 4 to 12. Your boy Dubois also keeps creeping up the standings to a point where it's going to be tough for us to draft him. A top 10 pick should bring in a pretty good player.

Yes, yes I was. My bad.

Mhm.

I thought I remember that they did but he wouldn't even give them a meeting. That was the year we 'settled' on Leino wasn't it :wallbash:

Yep agreed with all of this. As others have mentioned this injury may have been a nice blessing in disguise (especially if the injury isn't long lasting which it appears it isn't). I love this new core. Actually fun watching them and it's crazy/scary to think what they are doing at such a young age.

Sabres go 4-5-2 with ROR out of the lineup. Wasn't an overly difficult schedule but that's probably a better record than I expected by a point or two.

Going for the repeat!!

Oh ya. Just started booking some spots and holy the park admissions are expensive. We're gonna do 3 days at Disney World and one day at Universal, SeaWorld and Lego Land. Almost $2,000 for ticket admissions. Ouch. Hahhahaha, man I'd love meeting up with another Sabrespacer. We leave 3/18 but won't be in Orlando until the evening of 3/19. I'll be coming off 24 straight hours of driving with two young kids......If you're around the next weekend I could be up for it if the kids haven't driven me crazy. Actually, that's a good excuse to get out for a couple of hours. Very nice!

Going to Disney Land!! Long story short my wife just got a new job and gets zero vacation for a year (paid and unpaid). She doesn't start until April 18th. We had a trip booked to Myrtle Beach in May that I cancelled (and only lost around $10 on deposit which is great). So we decided it, let's take the kids to Disney before she starts while we have the chance. I'm trying to book everything last minute as we leave next Friday for 2 weeks. So F'N excited! Only downside is I'll be missing some Sabres games.....

:w00t:

5 pointer

yep

That's a pretty big assumption he will still be there at 8-12.

Based on proximity and the good young pieces on both sides, I could see this being one of the best rivalries in the NHL over the next few years.

Good to hear he's back.
