More like 2016 NHL troll draft. I couldn't stop thinking this was a Garth blog while reading it.

As if the Sabres are in a position to criticize anyone about bottom 5 finishes. That's like the Oil criticizing bottom 5 teams when they drafted Nurse.

And Gauthier will never be as good a scorer as Vesey? He hasn't played an NHL game yet so some people need to get off his Richard like he is some bona fide 1st liner.

I really bet we take Nylander or Keller.

Not sure how he is being a douchebag calling a spade a spade... But whateves...

I hope not since I would love Keller to fall to 10....highly unlikely but I can dream

you got the steal in last years draft

Isn't Brown projected to be a high end 3C or low end 2C??

I don't see the point in us taking him personally. We have plenty on that 3rd line.

Nylander and Keller at least could be top 6 wingers.

nope...i want more..more more

I've got a feeling that Murray has more than that up his sleeve.
- bobmack13

I kind of do, but I'm saying if this is the team and we add Vesey and a defenseman I think we can get 5-8 more points and attempt to go to the playoffs.

Which is probably best. As much as we need scoring this year anyone we get at 8 won't be able to help that. In 2-3 years when the contracts do start filling up space a cheap defensive prospect could be a big help.

I like this point a lot.

"Windsor defenseman Mikhail Sergachev, No. 10 on Central Scouting's midterm list, said Brown is very tough to slow in practice.

"He's so big he plays like Jaromir Jagr, something like that ability," Sergachev said. "

I say Keller, Juoli and Serg in that order. These kids probably are a year away, but wouldn't we lean to Dmen if we thought we were signing Vesey and Stamkos? Plus the Buffalo News said they learned the 3 were 2 dmen and one forward.

The head scout was on and basically said Juoli and Serg were about even, then, as an afterthought mentioned chychrun, so I hope that means Chuchrun is not in the 3.

I imagine it could be Nylander over Keller, but hope it's not

Comparing anything our guy Pachla writes to Garf should result in a ban, not just name calling.

Was listening to WGR and they replayed a couple of low life Boston swines talking like it was circa 2003 in Buffalo.

I wanted to reach through my computer screen and slap the salami out of the Brady loving douche bag

im an artist unappreciated in my own time

I mean, 2 years of finishing last is bad, yeah. But I remember being in high school talking about how Edmonton keeps getting top 5 picks. It's 5 in 6 years and the other time was 7th. Even just this year we're picking 8th while their best in the past half decade was 7th.

Not saying that we're much better, but c'mon. Pick your battles.

That's kinda what I'm saying. In recent years the Sabres win loss record is nothing to boast about, so why throw stones when you live in a glass house? More importantly, why is your blogger, who gets paid to be a professional writer, channeling his best impression of Garth?

don't take it so seriously, jr.
- Michael Pachla

You have to when the blue jackets brought him in for a private workout all day

And you could easily look at the center death they have none

No franchise center for the future

And they're absolutely loaded on the wings

It was a little joke. Far from Garth's hyperboles and just plain false statements.

same for gmtm

No thanks. Last player in the top 10 this team needs

Ehhh, remember last year when those same fans thought they could trade picks 14 and 15 along with Lucic (before he was moved to LA) for pick 2 so they could get Eichel?
