Do they still do 'cash considerations' like they use to in the past. Could a deal get done today with the agreement Buffalo would pay the bonus on July 1?

Coverage on TSN begins at 7.

Obviously Casey. He was on a 68 point pace with Sabres last year :flirt:

This past year has been the most trying season on Sabres fans in probably the franchise history. Another down year, one which expected the team would start to take the next step. Fan support really waivered. Then the excitement of atleast winning the draft lottery. The process sure sucked but let's enjoy today with the big selection of Dahlin and start moving this thing in the right direction. Let's go Dahlin, Let's go Buffalo!!!! :beer:

Could we see Reinhart AND ROR traded before the end of today? Should be an exciting seeing what happens. When you consider the addition of Dahlin, today really could be a franchise altering day.

Plus this.

He's doing exactly what I thought he would. Perimeter player who disappeared in key moments in juniors.

And now women jumping on trampolines lol

Yes, and if I remember correctly, all 3 picks almost seemed 'off the board'. Debrusk had a nice rookie season though.

Nice. If ROR is traded to the Flyers, what kind of package are we looking at? I think Provorov is untouchable so no point including him in any scenario.

I'm taking Zadina all day long.

But is that because he isn't the 3rd best talent or because Montreal is so devoid in centremen that their specific team will take the C? Around the draft lottery I thought it was pretty consensus who was going 1, 2 and 3.

I thought Zadina was basically the consensus no? I thought the only reason it may not be is because Bergevin.

Does anyone do ROR for 3rd overall pick straight up? What about ROR for 3OA and Mete (young D prospect)?

This.

Nobody better quote that.....

Fixed.

Wait wait wait.....isn't there an-anti Garth filter?

I think they will be streaming it.

I'm not getting into who's pre-draft season is better than whom. But I think the demand and hype for Dahlin is equal to Jack. I guess we will find out soon enough. When speaking with the Sabres rep he sort of chuckled and said he didn't think the event would sell out based on the distribution to STH. I'll be surprised if it's not. I don't even think their pre-draft seasons play into what demand will go into this development camp. Your just trying to bring the same argument over to multiple boards :P

This is very true.

I doubt they sell KBC out completely (they didn't for Eichel IIRC) but I think the excitement and demand to see him is there.....just different this time if that makes any sense. This explains it better I guess.

I don't think I agree with this.

This. All of the above. I've said my points in the other thread but what an absolute decision. Very Russ Brandon type move.

Wow that's tough to read, as I'm sure it was to write. My boy is five, my parents recently moved out to the country and bought a 4 wheeler. This story resonates. Life ain't fair sometimes is it?
