LGR4GM Posted March 29, 2018 Report Posted March 29, 2018 We unfortunately do not have a third round pick this year, the third was sent to Minny in exchange for a fourth in the Scandella DealWell then were not getting Drury hahaha Quote
rakish Posted March 29, 2018 Report Posted March 29, 2018 I will be compiling a top 60 ranking. It will not be done until sometime in May because I don't have the reports I need to do it yet. My goal is not to predict where players will be drafted but to give my draft board. Excellent news Quote
sweetlou Posted March 29, 2018 Report Posted March 29, 2018 Sabres pick depending on which selection they have... If pick is... #1- Rasmus Dahlin #2- Filip Zadina #3- Brady Tkachuk Quote
Huckleberry Posted March 29, 2018 Report Posted March 29, 2018 Sabres pick depending on which selection they have... If pick is... #1- Rasmus Dahlin #2- Filip Zadina #3- Brady Tkachuk change that to #8 Quote
Crusader1969 Posted March 29, 2018 Author Report Posted March 29, 2018 Sabres pick depending on which selection they have... If pick is... #1- Rasmus Dahlin #2- Filip Zadina #3- Brady Tkachuk I will be very surprised if Svechnikov isn't #2 on almost every teams draft boards. Quote
Randall Flagg Posted March 29, 2018 Report Posted March 29, 2018 I will be very surprised if Svechnikov isn't #2 on almost every teams draft boards. He scares the crap out of me. From what I read, the next time he doesn't glide through the neutral zone completely disinterested will be the first. Quote
Brawndo Posted March 29, 2018 Report Posted March 29, 2018 He scares the crap out of me. From what I read, the next time he doesn't glide through the neutral zone completely disinterested will be the first. What scares you more, Svechnikov or the rumor the Sabres have Tkachuk 2nd on their board? Quote
Randall Flagg Posted March 29, 2018 Report Posted March 29, 2018 What scares you more, Svechnikov or the rumor the Sabres have Tkachuk 2nd on their board? I honestly don't know a thing about Tkachuk. Really, I want Dahlin, and I have no opinion after that because this is the least I've followed prospects in a long time Quote
dudacek Posted March 29, 2018 Report Posted March 29, 2018 Why are people concerned about Tkachuk? Is it the lack of goals this year (three less than Casey)? Or just the fact that he’s a winger and the other two wingers have more skill? He’s a bit bigger and faster than his brother, and just as much of a dick. Looked good at the WJCs and fills a need for this team. Mostly a case of people seeing him as a good pick from 5-8, but not 1-4? Quote

I see the same concern around here you do, but I won’t count myself in that group. Quote

Crusader1969 Posted March 30, 2018 Author Report Posted March 30, 2018 Losses to the Leafs and Preds and 1 more win by the Coyotes / Sens and 1 more point for Canucks and last place is clinched. Could be over by Monday night. Sad but true Quote
LGR4GM Posted March 30, 2018 Report Posted March 30, 2018 1) Dahlin 2) Zadina 3) ... Unsure right now. Svechnikov's lack of desire to play defense worries me on a team already with that problem. I want someone who works hard not someone who coasts by on their talent. Quote

Svechnikov's lack of desire to play defense worries me on a team already with that problem. I want someone who works hard not someone who coasts by on their talent. Don't worry, he'll be gone when the Sabres draft 4th. At 4, I'm drafting Tkachuk, Wahlstrom, or Bouchard. I want to be miles away from Boqvist and Hughes. Quote

I want to be miles away from Boqvist and Hughes. I need to see a few draft reports first but I am basically there. Hughes is currently over Boqvist. Boqvist is a lot of potential but we can't afford to gamble on potential. Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted March 30, 2018 Report Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) I need to see a few draft reports first but I am basically there. Hughes is currently over Boqvist. Boqvist is a lot of potential but we can't afford to gamble on potential. Jbot needs to draft a guy at 4 who he "knows" will be an NHL player by 2019-20. it could take Hughes and Boqvist 2-3 years before they make the NHL. Oh by the Wahlstrom has 44 pts to Jack Hughes 53 for the USNTP. Where did you come up with the 82 pts you mentioned earlier? Edited March 30, 2018 by GASabresIUFAN Quote

I feel confident that Evan Bouchard will be an NHL player in 2019. At the very least he will jump to the AHL for a few months. He's so solid in every aspect of this game. What might keep Boqvist ahead of Hughes in my final is that he is so young. Hughes is almost a full year older. They are exactly 10 months apart. Edited March 30, 2018 by Skurk Liger Quote

DarthEbriate Posted March 30, 2018 Report Posted March 30, 2018 Don't worry, he'll be gone when the Sabres draft 4th. ++We've analyzed their attack, sir, and there is a danger they win out. Should we set our draft board for as low as the seventh pick? --Seventh pick? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances. Quote
LGR4GM Posted March 30, 2018 Report Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) 1-3 is very likely to be Dahlin, Svech, Zadina. Tkachuk is likely to be 4 with Boqvist at 5. that leaves 6 and 7. Your options are Bouchard, Hughes, or Wahlstrom. Note this is not my rankings. This is projection for how the draft could actually happen. My draft will look different.

Should we set our draft board for as low as the seventh pick? --Seventh pick? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances. You are talking Carrion League right? No way they beat Nashville... 2 more losses pretty much seals the deal... just saying. 3 losses guarantees at least 4th pick. Quote
Brawndo Posted March 30, 2018 Report Posted March 30, 2018 One more thing about Hughes, his offensive production is similar to Tkachuk’s this season. 36 Games 5G 24A compared to 40 Games 8G and 23A for Tkachuk. Quote
