[pastajoe]

I hope it’s not Yurov, unless he’s already boarding a flight with Don Luce.

[GoPuckYourself]

I hope it’s not Nazar.

Nazar Sovie or kasper?

I just texted the same thing to a couple Sabre fan friends.

Kasper would seem to fit Adams’ type stylistically but also add to the group of Cs with, while maybe not necessarily the highest ceilings, reasonably strong top-6 likelihood’s (Cozens, Krebs, Mittelstadt), whereby acquiring another in Kasper yet again increasing our odds of the group as a whole producing a first line quality C

Yes....I'd be shocked if Detroit does not take him right before us.

I'm thinking Nazar is our pick if he makes it to us.

at 16, not at 9.  Savoie, Kemell or even Geekie at 9.  I don't want Lekerrimaki at 9, I think he's too much of a perimeter player for me, a clone of Oloffson and we have oloffson.

[GoPuckYourself]

Come on Chicago take Nazar.

I have no faith in Mitts

[CTJoe]

No D for us in this range and the only ones to consider here are LHD.

Korchinkski bomb

I know he has his moments, but I have my doubts.

[CTJoe]

yes - Korchinski gone opens up a stud forward to fall to us

[#freejame]

That's good for us.

I haven’t paid attention to the mocks, but I don’t even remember this guy being talked about at all.

Reach, but an okay pick.  I just do not want anything to do with Connor Geekie.  Please god, no!

Huzzah! Korchinski jumps up and all the many options remain open to the Sabres.

[sabresparaavida]

Love korchinski going at 7, come on Savoie fall.

[Thorner]

One of Kasper or Savoie is ours IF we want them

I like Mitts offensive potential more than Cozens. 

[LGR4GM]

Alright so what does Detroit do... decisions decisions.

He was mentioned once here I remember as a possible Sabres target, in the eyes of some writer or some such 

[Norcal]

Wow. Wide open 

[GoPuckYourself]

Don’t Eichel this up Buffalo!

[#freejame]

I almost hope Savoie is picked here just so I don't have to deal with the frustration of us passing on him
