He's done nothing to deserve one. Hated that pick from the day we made it.

But, but, but...he's the youngest player in the draft! If he were a week younger her be top 5 next year....blah, blah bull sh!t! Just another wasted draft pick.

The correct pick would have been Laurent Dauphin. 

 

As to the rest of your post, really? It was a 2nd round pick. A majority of 2nd round picks do not make the NHL. That doesn't make it a wasted draft pick. Our other 2nd round picks that year, JT Compher who looks to at the least be a very good AHL player and Justin Bailey.

You're right, wasted wasn't a good word. Should have gone with sh!t. Another sh!t pick.

 

Sabres best 2nd rounders from the turn of the century. Roy, Pominville, Enroth, Mike Weber, Luke Adam and Jake McCabe.

 

Justin Bailey is still better know for his Metroid leotard.

! Missed him! I quit looking after the draft in Minnesota. I beg your forgiveness.

 

But I'm still not counting that chicken before it hatches.

I'm gonna have to list all the 2nds we've taken since 2005 aren't I?

I don't think I missed any, but if you want to you can. I didn't hold out intentionally if I did happen to miss any.

 

I did leave off the TJ Brennan's and Drew Sheistel's(however the hell you spell it) of the world.

Hahaha me neither.

Seriously, it was annoying enough going through every draft from 2000 on Wikipedia searching for our picks. Then finding out we traded them for Brad Boyes.

You know there is a Sabres wiki page with just our picks...

Did you really not know that? I can't tell if you are kidding.

No I didn't know that. Well, maybe I did but it was lost somewhere in my memory bank.

Waiver claim.  He didn't make the opening roster.

Yeah, but I thought they needed to waive him because they were so close to the cap. They couldn't afford to keep him on the roster. Maybe not? I also remember that Ruff was very frustrated by the move.

Oh, I thought you were making a joke that we had to cut him because he was so good that we couldn't afford to pay him.

 

That's how I'm going to choose to remember it.
