I don't get all the hype about Makar.
He played in the AJHL - Alberta Junior Hockey League,
The level of competition he's played against has me thinking low 1st round not top 10

- 22sabresQ



Boom or bust pick

His skills are exciting,
but he was doing it against inferior talent

With his size, it's tough to know how he'll do as the talent he plays against is bigger, stronger & faster

If duchene falls through for preds...Rhino and a 2nd for Ekholm
- feetontheair22

It would be nice if we could get him, but I doubt the Housley connection overcomes the fact that Poile doesn't want to move D.

This makes sense
If we are trading Sam...
it's gotta be for a top pair guy

Definitely not to move up in the draft
F that

- jdfitz77


I'd use him to move up to top 2 maybe 3 if they are sold on one of the other players or Hanifin straight up.

The 3 Buffalo jersey''s that I own:

Eichel - here
Rhino - going?
EJ Manual - gone

There is a trend here. Maybe I should go out and buy a Molson jersey.

I am in the camp of keep Rhino unless we get a smoking good deal. Same with Kane.

slavin-faulk

hanifin-pesce

Fleury-TVR

Think they'll just roll with that and move their first rounder

- Sabresfan-365


I want Fluery, Bean, Hanifin or Pesce

Are you kidding? At this pace, we got to wait til the end of his next contract from some other team before that happens.

Maybe Botts thinks disco was such an awful coach that he wants to give many of thsoe we have in the dog house a second chance

I wonder if Botts knows Carrier Pigeons are no longer a thing.

If Murray had drafted Sergachev, Chychrun or Mcavoy last year instead of Nylander, we wouldnt even be talking about trading Reinhart right now...He really blew it with that pick

It looks like I missed an interesting day so far. I mean, I'm very excited for the outcome of the draft tonight, but it seems like we're probably going to do a trade tonight

Happy draft day

Sounds like Makar could be going top 3 and Valardi might fall

I think they take Liljegren if this happens and they're stuck with no trade partner. But I totally agree with you. I'm out on guys who had mono in their draft season.

Isn't Necas considered top6 almost everywhere? I agree that moving down at that point would be the best if that was the order, but thought Necas was a sure thing to be gone by 8.
