LGR4GM Posted October 15, 2017 Report Posted October 15, 2017 So basically, the lottery winners get rookie nhlers next season, likely the rest get prospects?Yes the top 3 should jump. The rest? Still to early to tell. The 2018 Draft is loaded though. Quote
North Buffalo Posted October 15, 2017 Report Posted October 15, 2017 So if the Sabres finish near bottom do they go offense or D? Say Tkacuck or one of the top D... How many picks in top 3 rounds do Sabres have? Being lazy, Any trades make a D more likey, and find skilled scorers later on? Depressing I am even posting this :( Quote

Depressing I am even posting this :( You go for Dahlin all the time if you get to pick first. this kid bumps Ristolainen to 2nd pairing. Quote

Though if you have a forward and Dmen ranked equally - I'd go D To have a chance at Tkachuk, I think you are going to have to get lucky with the lottery balls.

Huckleberry Posted October 15, 2017 Report Posted October 15, 2017 We should change topic to Stallin' for dhalin. :unsure: 5 more games like this and I'm going in full tank mode. Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 15, 2017 Report Posted October 15, 2017 We should change topic to Stallin' for dhalin. :unsure: This is awesome. :w00t: That said, I will never, ever support a 'tank'. Quote

Crusader1969 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Report Posted October 16, 2017 no, i think its Dahlin followed by Svechnikov at this time. I've Seen Tkachuk as low as 7th on some lists but usually he is 3rd. Quote
Crusader1969 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) Farabee and wahlstrom highlites from this past weekend. Both could go in top 10 Wahlstrom completes natural hat trick in the 3rd period and (today) is named USHL player of the week https://mobile.twitter.com/ushl/status/919360318806966274 Edited October 17, 2017 by Crusader1969 Quote
Crusader1969 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Posted October 17, 2017 If Sabres want to corner the market on all players named Rasmus - Rasmus Sandin (potential 2nd rounder) transfers to OHL from SHL https://twitter.com/eliteprospects/status/920337797243920384 Quote
Pokey Jones Posted October 17, 2017 Report Posted October 17, 2017 I'm not really farmiliar with the prospects, but would Dahlin be ready year one? Probably. You'd want to protect him a little, but this guy will dominate. Think Karlsson in Ottawa as the closest comparison. Quote
3putt Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Probably. You'd want to protect him a little, but this guy will dominate. Think Karlsson in Ottawa as the closest comparison. Actually all scouting reports say he is less Karlson and more Hedman or Lidstrom in style. Either way all say he will be a star. Edited October 18, 2017 by 3putt Quote
Pokey Jones Posted October 18, 2017 Report Posted October 18, 2017 I meant more in the way he can control/dominate a hockey game, not exactly skating/playing style. Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 19, 2017 Report Posted October 19, 2017 Found this at USA Today. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2017/09/22/nhl-draft-2018-potential-first-round-american-crop-loaded-sons-former-players/694491001/ We actually need Tkachuk. We need the physical PF who can skate, especially if we let Kane walk. Quote
LGR4GM Posted October 19, 2017 Report Posted October 19, 2017 Did Brady Tkachuk miss the draft cutoff by 1 day? Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 I don’t think Jbot likes CHL players. Quote
Thorner Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 I don’t think Jbot likes CHL players. Yup. It'll mostly be NCAA bound players and some from overseas now. Quote
Crusader1969 Posted October 21, 2017 Author Report Posted October 21, 2017 Here is a guy from overseas - Dahlin with another goal today https://mobile.twitter.com/tsnbobmckenzie/status/921747324711223296 Quote
