Right, because they're the only ones in the league that do that.

Both Laine and Wheeler both have ~50% PPP.

ROR has only 14 of his 44 points on the PP and Risto has exactly half.

"The New York Giants think quarterback Eli Manning has multiple years left as a starting quarterback and are open to trading down from the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft."
- homiedclown


Go up and get it!!!
It is proven, with rare exception, that w/o a franchise QB you are on the outside looking in.
They just need to hit on who they select...but 1st time in a very long time I feel comfortable with their front office personnel and there higher likelihood of getting it right.
One word ..MAYFIELD!

My gut says in order to do so, they will need to execute 2 trades ... 1st to move into top 10, then 2nd to get to their target be it 2,3, or 4.
But going to 2 decreases the risk of some other team sliding in ahead of them.
Get er done Beane!

Looking at the metrics from the game last night, if I am reading them correctly, aside from high danger chances, the Sabres outplayed the Lightning and deserved to win.

That is surprising considering their lineup although it matches what it looked like in the 2nd and 3rd period.

What else looked at least somewhat obvious is the Tampa goaltender was shaky in net last night.

Ugh
They better not

Top3 is where the cutoff this year is imo

Idk if Tkachuk will be a scorer in the NHL
And if we go for Boqvist or Hughes on defense, they’re likely a few years away

- jdfitz77


Reality is that so are the Sabres a couple yeRs away at least.
Especially if you factor in the assumed lockout looming.
So, drafting a guy that potentially needs two more years to properly develop...could be great timing.

Fair point
I also feel better about the top3 definitely being studs,
whereas the others aren’t as sure of a thing imo

When the Sabres are +320 and you put $100 on them. Feels good today. Sabres on the road vs Top 3 teams is a lock.

Swaping out our current depth with youth from Rochester next year alone is going to make a positive impact.

Be BOLD and give Nelson the C
