Did they give anyone the C? Or an extra A?

nice location sir

- Smittyx36

Ott got an A

why?

we probably wont have pick no.1 and would most likely rather have an offensive playmaking stud than D.....IMO

then mackinnon and drouin are both on the board and we can pull a sedin trade



uh.....one can dream, cant he?
- Sabres2012CUP

the eastern conference scout mock has us taking drouin at 3.....

it says its updated as of today, but it doesn't have us with the Wild pick


the western conference one has us taking valeri nichuskin

nice location sir

They finally did what I and the majority had been asking for! So I felt the change from "blow it up" to now was needed.

Western Scout mock draft:

everyone is talking about the first pick....who do you think we can get with the second, think we can get lucky and have Curtis Lazar fall to us?
- Mentalorgasm5

A lot of rankings have him middle of the first round, about 14-20. The Hockey Guys: 18, Hockey Prospect: 25, ISS: 11, Craig Button TSN: 24. So he's all over. Possibly with Minnesota's pick unless we use that to trade up.

Flyers play the Leafs tonight, Carolina and Tampa play, and Minny v LA. The games play out the right way and Tampa will jump us and move us to 27th

looking at our schedule, we should lose our next 4.....we have a chance to win our next two (PHI and Tampa).....then we should lose out our last 5


we better not mess this up....

tampa could win more games than us IMO

I dont see Calgary winning another game this year with their remaining schedule

florida is about the same as us...

colorado could win maybe 3

I guess its a win-win as long as we keep losing.

Drouin: Could be a patrick kane clone?

Id like Domi Hagg Gauthier to fall ( knowing shinkaruk wont fall_)

I guess its a win-win as long as we keep losing.
- Buffalo--Sabres

for sure....there should be no losing in this scenario....

(well technically there should be....)

get MacKinnon and Drouin please!!!!!!

I would target Andre Burakovsky then

I dont see it
- MCGUIZZY

Thats just what the scouts said. I have seen his highlights and didnt see it. But again I'm not a pro scout

I actually simmed ahead until the 2014 season in NHL12.. and play with all of my prospects and have literally traded off all of the people on the sabres that you see now...

the only guys on the team that is still there that isn't a prospect now is Kaleta and Myers..
- JVince11

In NHL 13 GM I'm in year 5 - lines are:

Shinkaruk (88 ov.) - Hodgson (87 ov.) - Ennis (86 ov.)
Andrei Anisimov (84 ov.) - Grigo (80 ov.) - Sam Reinhart (81 ov.)
Heatley (84 ov.) - Girgensons (84 ov.) - Gerbe (83 ov.)
Ott (81 ov.) - Stoll (80 ov.) - Tropp (83 ov.)

Myers (89 ov.) - Letang (91 ov.)
Ehrhoff (85 ov.) - Kulikov (85 ov.)
Leo (82 ov.) - Sekera (82 ov.)

Chris Tai (92 ov.)
Enroth (82 ov.)

Dynasty!

interesting about the draft

it says that NHL scouts agree, Jones will be pick no. 1
- Sabres2012CUP

Ideally we'd pick 1st and get him, then trade up and get Drouin or even Barkov...
I'd def risk our 2nd rounder on Nichuskin if he falls that far...
And he might bc of the KHL deal he just signed
He'll be a steal if someone gets him to come over

I would target Andre Burakovsky then

like it like his wing versitility

Yea I know. Kane was a clear cut #1 better skater too. Maybe down the road those comparisons could be correct
