I don't give a s##t about selling tickets, I want to win a Stanley Cup! Nich was a high risk/high reward and the Sabres scouts (whom doubled their scouting department recently) felt Risto was the better pick. Fine by me.

Ya that pisses me off.

This.

Zadorov has some big time potential imo. A big man at nearly 6' 6 who plays a physical game is exactly the type of guy we need back there! He played some big minutes for London in key situations last year. I know we need forwards, I get it but Risto and Zadarov are two big time D prospects!

LOVE THAT PICK. Can't believe he was still there!!

Pick is in. No trade down. Surprised we picked at 8 and 16.

Zadarov still on the board too. I know we went D first but I\d love to get my hands on him.....

Take Lazar here!

Wenneberg or Lazar. Outside shot at it being Erne or Santini.

Why, he's one of the last desirable goalies left. We could have a team who missed out on the other tenders overpay for Miller now (cough Edmonton cough).

I guess I was wrong with Nich. I understand the risk with him. Hopefully Risto grows into a top 2 or 3 Dman and helps Armia transition to North America.

Not to say I called our pick yesterday.....but I called our pick yesterday. Now get Lazar at 16.

Well, is it Risto or Nurse

F$$k! I knew he wouldn't fall. It's Nich, Nurse or Risto.

Keep the updates comming Liger.

I hope if we trade up to 5 it's to take him and Darcy knows he won't drop to 8.

Oh come on. This is the draft thread if and any trade involves a draft pick I think it belongs here. I don't want to have to keep switching between threads.

Atlanta Gerogia - October 18, 1992. We're even.

I've tried cooking more spicy food lately but I think we'll try mexican tonight if anything then for luck.

My complaint is that our son is not born yet! His expected due date is this Saturday so I guess technically he's not late yet. But my poor wife is having a difficult time getting around and it will be better for everyone when he finally enters the world.

Well I can't wait to get home and watch this presser later. I really hope Buffalo is committed to a full re-build. I know we've been waiting forever but some of these signings (john scott, brad boyes etc.) are bandaide solutions. We need a full rebuild and don't worry about doing everything to squeeze into 8th next year. Start planning now and do everything possible to make 2015/2016 and forward your window. Management did everything it could imo to tank down the stretch for a top 5 pick (traded several vetrans, played Enroth a bunch) but the team (unfortunately) won much more than they lost. Do what it takes to get a top 3 or 4 pick!! Trade what we have too.

As I've mentioned before, I had a sign taken away from me at one of the home games. No profanity or anything really offensive. Anyways, I really hope there are some serious changes this offseason because as you have pointed out the fanbase has grown very disinterested with this group of players. As per usual, they go on a late win streak and mess up any chance they had to draft a real difference maker.

I thought Heatley was hurt before he got there. Could be wrong on that though.

Hahahhahaha. Ya, my Generals being knocked out in the second round probably add to my bitterness hahahah.

Ya, and I hate seeing these updates now that we have an unbelievably slim chance (winning draft lottery and taking one of them) of getting one of those two. It's just depressing now :P
