Berggren, Akil Thomas,

How the hell are they both still available. It's like Christmas.

You wanted the average Veleno but the 6'4" Noel who can do it all is a hell no?

Do it all? He's a big winger with decent skating who has good hands around the net. Pass.

Kimmelman calls him Blake Wheeler, guy from sporting news says he's a true power forward with a very high ceiling, the hell are you talking about?

All thes players are now a roll of,the dice. Why not roll the dice on the guy who has the most talent - Bode Wilde.

 

A right handed shot to boot.

 

I'd be happy with Noel as well. Brings an element that the Sabres don't have

Hands down - Wilde

So no big trades gonna happen today? After all the talk

All the talk. About a bunch of rumors. That are complete fiction. Drummed up by the media to get clicks. Shocked I am.

Bergevin was silly not to take JBots offer at #3 imo.  Not saying that was bad for us necessarily but he will lose his job before that kid is ready (and he reached).  ROR makes them better today.

This might be the most boring draft of all time. There were only like two trades in total

It’s like GM’s are afraid to trade roster players. It would be nice to see players get moved during the draft. Besides Dahlin which we all knew since the lottery the draft was boring.

I have a feeling that this was due to this draft a) being weaker after the top two and b) the prospects being grouped so closely together.

 

Seems like:

Tier 1 (Dahlin)

Tier 2 (Svechnykov)

Tier 3-10 (Zadina, Quinn, Dobson, et al)

Tier 10-40+ (all those other weirdos)

 

Why trade assets for someone when your guy is falling to you or you think they're all equal?

I'm happy that it was boring.  I didn't want the Sabres to do anything "exciting" other than pick Dahlin.
