I'm fine with it. Tired of everyone saying he would have been there in the later rounds, because I forgot everyone is an NFL insider and def. knew he would have been there.

they did their homework, and got who they wanted

getting woods made me think barkley was not that good but rather woods made him look better then he is

I am fine with the pick

bills will win a playoff game before the sabres win a playoff series

Bills are Terrible. Not even a charismatic rookie QB will heal what ails that team

Correct me if im wrong but we only get top pick or we stay in 8th. right?
- Beezer33

You are right. With the lottery we stay at 8th unless we win we got to 1st or someone behind us wins and we go to 9th.

Still could have easily traded with SF to get there 1st and got more 2nd rounders and EJ....

But if he turns out it will go down as a brilliant pick.

The Sabres have a 3.6% chance of winning and the 8th ranked team has never moved up to get the #1 pick before?

Man, I love our odds.

you do not know that

what if the eagles liked him a lot and traded up and got him?

he was clearly who they liked and passed on the others in third and 4th round for a backup

sabres will watch a team with less odds get it, flyers, and they will move to 9th

This is new with the CBA... So therefore there isn't any history on people winning it yet.

this is hilarious reading twitter and the sabres facebook. is there a single fan left that supports darcy?

i'm fine with him staying but i'd absolutely rather have him gone, and i'm the only person that would even be in that scenario. absolutely hilarious how disconnect or careless the org. is that they will still keep darcy

Maybe they weren't happy with the QB??? Just like every other team in the NFL....

I can't 100% say he would have been there. But I'm pretty confident he would have been.

"Is Pegula claiming that because more of the fans’ money goes into his pocket under this agreement as opposed to the preceding one, they should pay more?

Is Buffalo ownership suggesting this CBA places the burden on Sabres’ season ticket-holders to keep the league stable?"

I'm really starting to dislike Pegula. When he bought the team he presented himself as if he was campaigning for president and we bought it hook, line, and sinker.
- Tsyolin

I absolutely agree... Peula is starting to sound like Golisano 2.0.....

seriously??? I thought they picked from the lottery pool for every pick???

Nope. 99.9% its just for the #1 pick.

I will make that 100% its either the 1st 8th or 9th pick for us

sunuvab!tch... that makes tonight kind of poopty now.... I thought we could move up to any spot...

SH!T.... Wish we could have added the Wild's first to our chances...

no team has more than one first rounder in the lottery tonight right?

Not CLB and not Calgary?

Do we draft Jones with the #1 if we win the lottery??? Or do we trade it to 3/4th place team and get lots of goodies plus Barkov or Druin "whoever is available".

Yeah that extra 0.5% wouldve helped!

mackinnon no question IMO

If we win the lottery I would trade down to the 3rd. I think we need more than Jones. I would be happy with Drouin or Mac. With the pieces we would get in that trade we could possibly move up again to the top 10. 2 top 10 picks would sound better to me than just #1 overall

Less than you may think. Summary:

*Amerks are gonna to get ousted AGAIN
*Sabres are gonna to fall to 9th in the draft
*Regier gets extended for life
*Ruff gets re-hired
*And Pegula sheds a single tear for the team's piss-poor performance this season which he wipes away using a single million dollar bill.

Yeah that extra 0.5% wouldve helped!
- theblueandgold

Any little bit helps. Everything fell into place except the Avs couldnt do us a solid and beat Minny. It also would have given us more leverage to move up though. 2 top 12 draft picks would have been real nice to work with as trade bait and so forth

mackinnon no question IMO
- robz228

I think Barkov is gonna turn out to be the best player from this draft class in 5-6 years... But honestly I would love Droun, Mack, or Barkov. All three are gonna be superstars IMO.
