Thanks for the info. Just a question: are those names you heard directly or just speculation based on the type of player they are looking for? I think any of those guys would be great adds but Erickson EK would be a big ticket. I would love that.

Seattle just seems like a good trading partner. They have several pieces that seem to fit what Buffalo should be looking at: Gourde, Tanev, Larsson, Borgen. Tanev, Larsson and Borgen are all on expiring contracts. Dahlin-Larsson would be a nice balanced top pairing.

Apparently Leone was on Seth Appert's staff. 2019-2020 USNTDP JUNIORS so there seems to be the connection.

You guys know nothing about him. Why are you 💩 on the idea? Appert did a great job developing the kids.

To me Eiserman and Yakemchuk are the two riskiest top 12 picks. Both bring very unique skill sets but there overall games are questionable for a pick that high. I would actually put Lindstrom in there too. The back injury is hopefully just a one time thing he is past but those can be very tricky.

http://www.mynhldraft.com/NHL-Mock-Draft/ I couldn’t pass up Dickinson if he was on the board at 11.

No thanks. No desire to move Power

IF the Sens were actually going to trade Brady and IF they were willing to move him to Buffalo I think they would want Levi and Peterka. They are desperate to find their goalie. JJ they could team with good buddy Stuzle as a dynamic 1-2 punch.

Sabres are Cooking people. Fans about to eat😜

I’ll be surprised if Iginla gets to Calgary’s pick. But he would be the slam dunk PR pick for the Flames

Bigger Jack Quinn😀 Iginla and Senneke are the two that are going to go higher than initially ranked. I’d be surprised if both aren’t top 10 picks.

Eiserman could be an elite goal scorer but the issue is if his scoring doesn’t transfer you are basically left with VO. I really haven’t watched his game enough to see his compete and what not. He seems like the type of pick that someone will look like a genius or a fool selecting him top 10 or so.

Yep you always take the best player because when it’s time to trade other teams like better players rather than worse players. If Catton is there you take him and then you can move a Savoie for a great piece now and still have a similar piece in the system.

And it will be amazing watching the usual suspects blow a gasket because the Sabres steal him at 11. “But but but he’s not 6’4. He won’t punch someone in the face every shift”

Run to the podium to draft Catton at #11.

6-1 now. It’s over

He’s basing it off of Vatrano’s outlier season this year. He’s not a centre either. Brutal proposal

Bills are signing Olympic gold medalist wrestler Gable Steveson. He has never played football. Report says he will play on DL. I guess put him on the practice squad and hope for a miracle.

I chose them at their NHL peaks (why I chose Crozier over Miller)

Just for fun. Build you ultimate Sabres team. Only rule is that it has to be made of players who have played for the team. Here’s mine: EDIT: Pick players based on their NHL peak R Martin Perrault Gare Mogilny Lafontaine Hawerchuk Vanek Eichel Reinhart C Ramsay Peca Drury Extras: Briere, Rene Robert Dahlin Schonfeld Housley Zhitnik M Ramsey McKee Extra: Power Hasek Crozier Extra: Edwards Coach: Scotty Bowman, Associate Coach: Ruff

The fact that the Sabres had Suchanek in camp and didn’t sign him but drafted Leinonen is very frustrating

Move out Joker and Bryson. Find a #4RD to play with Power (Tanev, Cernak, Demelo, Roy, Myers) type.
