Trust me it was them that didnt have me travel to see them

Yep, it is total and utter crap, just insane, however, as other teams have proven, I really want them to concentrate on the later picks, so many good players come out of those other rounds, that is where Buffalo is failing as do other teams, we should not be relying on high draft picks, they should be the Crown jewel not the basis.

Later picks mean nothing. Good luck finding Daytsuk.

Buffalo finishes 2nd worst Islanders finish 3rd worst.. Team X finishes last and team XX wins lotto and jumps to number 1 overall leaving the Sabres without any of the top two guys..

Islanders need solid goaltending or they are going nowhere. I'm hoping the leafs can package Reimer and someone for a solid top six guy or top 4 d man. I think leafs will make a trade at the draft with Reimer.

Before the draft lottery earlier today TSN's Dave Hodge and Dave Taylor talk to Murray but Bill Daley is on for the 1st half hour.

Bassically.. its not a slam dunk like it is for the first overall pick to play right away in the NHL if you pick 2nd… Out of the 10 forwards 5 played their first year in the NHL… Out of those 5 2 were from Europe 3 from Juniors..
