Marvin Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 I hate being near the start of the draft. Quote

LTS Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Only a scant few hours left before Buffalo burns itself down, only this time they can't blame Jim Carrey. Quote

He was pretty decent back in the day for the Caps but I'm not sure, at his age, he'd provide the level of backup goaltending we need. 1 Quote
Thorner Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 See below the exact NHL player you are guaranteed to get with each of these picks: Myself, I am partial to attempting to snag the Double Hedman 1 1 Quote

In going to put on the strap on except inside out so it’s ***** me in the ass. That’s how this is going to go tonight. I’m not sure what has me more dismayed, the fact our 3 picks we’ve had in the top 2 picks are going to amount to nothing, or the fact that the next one has an infinitely greater chance of being the worst of the 4. 57 minutes ago, Thorny said: See below the exact NHL player you are guaranteed to get with each of these picks: Myself, I am partial to attempting to snag the Double Hedman And this is how Rasmus Dahlin ended up where he is.

Eleven Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) I haven't been so not excited about a draft in a long time. I feel like whatever they do, my reaction will be "meh." Edited July 23, 2021 by Eleven 2 Quote

I notice McTavish has just kept steadily moving up and up in rankings and comparisons. I had him as a potential draft steal earlier on and now it looks like he's a top 5 candidate. He's my #3 now.

They may not look like much, but they've got it where it counts. It's draft day... it's the time of dreaming big and not worrying too much about living in Tatooine a championship desert. Someday we'll get off of this rock. 1 Quote

I used to enjoy reading up on prospects and I got excited with the potential, but between Buffalo’s lack of 1sr rd success under Regier and then the team being managed to harvest picks I lost all my joy around it. 3 Quote
Cheektorado Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Today is the day the tide turns for us Sabres fans! It started with KAs Risto trade and will continue to rise. Quote

LGR4GM Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 I have no idea what's gonna happen in this draft. It will have so truly insane picks... this is gonna be awesome. 2 Quote
Huckleberry Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Yeah I'm staying up a bit for this one going to get wild 🙂 I also wouldn't mind if Eichel is not traded - Then teams that want him have to give up 2022-2023 1st rounders. Sounds much better. Quote
