Man, there are going to be 3 or 4 guys at 16 to chose from that I thought might be in play at 9.

It's almost gotta be Lambert here.  If Yurov could get out of Russia, it would probably be him.  Of course, he'd probably already be gone if that were the case.

Two centers

Ugh.  I hope we don't regret this pick 3 years from now.

Sportsnet compares both Sabres draft choices to Brayden Point.  Here's to hoping.

Notice NO Russian players picked yet.

 

 

 

I'm still waiting on the trade for Patrick Kane  !!

It's hard to believe they traded a sixth and Alex Debrincat for a seventh and Seth Jones.  What a mess that franchise is now.

 

I would love to get Kane but I wouldn't give up much to take that contract.  Unfortunately for him, the only teams that can really take his deal are already terrible.

 

 

[Alaska Darin]

Ok, this made me feel better.

On about half of the players the lady on ESPN seems to have decent insight.  On the other half she is clearly reading off a sheet of paper that she has never seen before.

Sounds like a trade we should make... a hockey player for a basketball player.

Lambert still there with one pick before us.  There has to be an underlying issue.

Winner: Buffalo Sabres

The Sabres entered draft day with three first-round picks. General manager Kevyn Adams and his scouting crew clearly had one thing in mind: Skilled forward. 

Buffalo drafted Matt Savoie at No. 9, Noah Ostlund at No. 16 and Jiri Kulich at No. 28, all three being extremely talented offensive forwards that posseses a ton of skill. It's not often you hit on three picks in one round, but the Sabres didn't reach or gamble on any of their picks. They took some of the best players available in their spot in the pecking order, and now a team that already possesses a deep prospect pool just got even stronger.

Damn, the rumor going around is that for the Sabres to take Murray they'd have gotten pick 7 for pick 16.  Now I hate Murray with the heat of 1000 suns.

 

I reflexively hate with a passion anyone named "Murray" associated with the Senators.

Holy crap, we just drafted a huge goalie early in the second round.  Finally.
