If we do get Stamkos, we will be banned from the Leafs blog but if they get him, it will be free reign on the Sabres blog. nothing against Stash or NF but it will happen and they won't be able to control it but I know they will try.

Stamkos isn't going to the Leafs so don't worry.

I would be so excited for the Sabres to win something, even a dopey draft lottery.

Nada...wrote to them last year and got a response. Wrote last week and nothing.

My father's girlfriend apparently called the box office yesterday, they have no information whatsoever.

Same, website says information will be released closer to the draft and box office danced around it. How long are they going to wait? They know tickets will be gone within the first 30 minutes so im sure they are not worried.

The hosts aside, Match Game beats Gong Show in the pseudo game show draft lottery simulator 4 times out of 7....I take those odds.

2 out of 8 is damn good luck, considering the actual chance they have of winning it

3rd times a charm?

I have no delusions that they'll win (just like the last 2 years) - getting worked up thinking they'll win isn't worth the letdown.

Same boat on Stamkos/Vesey/whoever else. It's just awesome if it happens, but in no way expecting it to

I ran it 10 times and not 1 winner for us, I agree if we get Stamkos or Vesey great if not life goes on.

Any chance we flip one of girgs/larsson + to get shaw? They get someone who can play that role for less $ and we get someone in his prime(ish) who is better right now?

I would imagine Chicago finds some way to finagle the money, they seem to be pretty crafty at that. I do think they might be interested in some of our draft picks though, they've given up a lot over the years, I bet they'd want to restock the farm a bit.

usually are but the consensus seems to be that there's no way out of this one. That's why i brought it up. similar move to the saad one (albeit smaller) but they get a roster replacement at a reduced price even if that player is not as good right now.

It's playoff time and you want to worry about how to market the draft lottery? Yawn. Lord Stanley would puke!
