Mustache of God Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 NHL announces #Sabres lottery-winning combination was 1-4-6-14. 14614 will be the number Rip gives him in training camp. Quote
Stoner Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) When it was announced I was pumped and screamed like a 13 year old girl, but watching this video for the first time in about a month reminded me just how incredible this is. HOLY ###### !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't seen one Dahlin highlight, and I don't think I'm going to start now. I want to see it in the NHL. Been burned too many times. Since we're apparently not going to have a spring, maybe we can skip summer and go right to October. Stopping by to say that I'm still excited. Did your doctor ever call back? :lol: I’d rather have Dahlin and Eichel than McDavid and Ekblad. Yeah. I dunno. Someone on GR said that this morning -- well, he said this was the lottery to win over even the McDavid lottery. That's fairly insane, IMHO. Edited April 29, 2018 by PASabreFan Quote
Trettioåtta Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 Still my feeling. Kucherov/ Sergachev is close. I heard he doesn't play in the same weather and has never farmed anything. We'll see you in the Stanley cup finals. ;) And we could have had Sergachev over Nylander... Rasmus - Rasmus Scandella - Sergachev McCabe - Ghule Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 We still have a lot of work to do to put a contender, even just for the playoffs, on the ice. But when you're talking two pieces under 24 to build a franchise with, is there a single team you'd switch Eichel/Dahlin with? Their competition: McDavid/Draisaitl, or McDavid/Klefbom Matthews/Marner, or Matthews/Nylander MacKinnon/Rantanen, or MacKinnon/Makar Laine/Trouba Barkov/Ekblad Jones/Werenski Kucherov/Sergachev Pettersson/Boeser or Horvat/Boeser Gaudreau/Hamilton or Gaudreau/Monahan or Monahan/Hamilton Montreal's 3rd overall pick/Drouin or Montreal's 3rd/Galchenyuk :lol: White/Chabot for Ottawa Barzal/Beaullivier? Keller/Strome or Keller/Chychrun Parayko/Fabbri Aho/Slavin, Svechnikov/Slavin Patrick/Provorov McAvoy/DeBrusk on and on There's not a single under 24 duo that I would trade Eichel/Dahlin for. That's a helluva foundation, Jason. Do something with it. You could probably talk me into McDavid/Draisaitl, but I wouldn't just reflexively take it. Eichel/Dahlin is absolutely the best forward/defense foundation in the league. I really don't even think Kucherov/Sergachev comes close. One thing is for sure: I'll be watching a lot more hockey next season than I did this one. Quote
Robviously Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 I haven't seen one Dahlin highlight, and I don't think I'm going to start now. I want to see it in the NHL. Been burned too many times. Since we're apparently not going to have a spring, maybe we can skip summer and go right to October. Did your doctor ever call back? Yeah. I dunno. Someone on GR said that this morning -- well, he said this was the lottery to win over even the McDavid lottery. That's fairly insane, IMHO. Still waiting. If we can avoid injuries, how much different will it be to watch the Sabres this year? How many speedy players are we adding? Dahlin and Mittelstadt are the big names, but adding Guhle last year completely changed the team's look at times (I'm thinking of the CBJ game with Ullmark). Then you have role players like Bailey and Baptiste. Plus, speed in the minors that could make a cameo appearance (Pu, Asplund, Borgen, Olofsson, etc.). Watching the Sabres could be fun again very soon. Hard to believe, but if we won the lottery, anything's possible. Quote
Mustache of God Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 And we could have had Sergachev over Nylander... Rasmus - Rasmus Scandella - Sergachev McCabe - Ghule If we took sergachev our defense wouldn't have been as bad and we might not have finished last this year.... Quote

Sabre fan Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 I think it is safe to say that Pilut would not be signing if he was not assured a spot on the roster. If he is anywhere near as good as scouts and "experts" at Sportsnet are saying then he is very good and will also improve the defense. Makes me wonder what we do with Bogo??? Does anybody know what it would result in if we bought him out? I find it hard to believe that they really think he can make the team or even stay healthy for that matter... Quote

Sabres Fan in NS Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 NS reporting for duty. I checked early this morning and saw that the Sabres won the lottery. Not going to fake it ... as you guys and gals probably figured I have very mixed feelings about this. I am a fan of the Sabres and have been all my life. I am very happy for the fans. This is a reward for the suffering imposed upon us. My hope is that I will continue to work past what lead to this pick. I am not there yet, but I will continue to support the team. Onward ... GO SABRES!! Quote

R_Dudley Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 Hahaha this is first all positive Sabrespace thread I’ve seen in some time and I hope a turning point for many more to come. Finally last feels like first. Now it begins, welcome back hockey to Buffalo. Quote

StuckinFL Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 It's amazing how delusional Oilers fans are. I think they've officially become worse for me than Leafs fans. I went over to one of their fan forums and it's just comment after comment about how Dahlin will be wasted here and no matter how much talent we acquire that we won't about to anything and that we're a garbage franchise. It's insanely laughable. Not gonna lie, I would kill for a Leafs vs Sabres playoff series in the next decade. That would be bloodthirsty. Quote

StuckinFL Posted April 29, 2018 Report Posted April 29, 2018 If that’s their claim, they should look at a mirror. They are literally the epitome of a garbage franchise for the last few decades. 4 first picks can't turn that dumpster fire around. Quote
