Flashsabre Posted April 10 Report Posted April 10 I always enjoy following prospects and the draft but I could absolutely care less who they draft this year. We have danced this dance way too many times already. Trade the damn pick for someone tangible. Give the fanbase some hope that you are remotely serious about getting serious. 1 Quote
Flashsabre Posted April 13 Report Posted April 13 The pick will have to be Carter Yakemchuk to continue the Sabres long standing with “chuk”s 😁 Quote

Mr. Allen Posted April 14 Report Posted April 14 Lindstrom is becoming more and more just a dream. I would’ve loved him in blue and gold. 1 1 Quote
mjd1001 Posted April 14 Report Posted April 14 I'll follow the draft when it occurs like always, and read about who the Sabres picked, but this year, I have really zero else for it other than just waching it because that is what a fan of a team does. I know unless they are picking first or 2nd overall, most guys don't make the team, or don't have a game changing impact for years....but in the past that never stopped me from following it, caring about the draft. This year...is like I don' care for some reason. They could trade away their top 3 picks and I'd be like 'oh well'. I'm not quite sure why. Quote

Crusader1969 Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 @LGR4GM what are your thoughts on Adam Jiricek? Quote
LGR4GM Posted April 15 Report Posted April 15 15 minutes ago, Crusader1969 said: @LGR4GM what are your thoughts on Adam Jiricek? His injury really screws the projection. He's been out almost all year and when he did play, looked meh. That said he was a 17yr old in the top Czech league so why would he look great? I think if I'm Buffalo, I'd consider trading up either in round 2 or into round 1. I don't think he'll slide much into round 2 but maybe. His 16yr old year in Czech Jr was really solid and I really liked him. Like his brother he's offensively gifted while having a physical element. With a June bday and a full year of development lost, there could be a top 10 talent there. Still, it's risky. He's a 6'2" rhd who can skate with good offensive instincts. He's 100% worth our second round pick. 1 Quote
