Well, if you read up on the draft properly and thoroughly, there is a huge, HUGE drop off at 155...so much so that it Technically is a 7th roundc pick.

"We certainly had some players still on our board, but we felt comfortable we could get them in the seventh round. We just felt it was a situation to bring in another asset for next year." - Botterill
- Stripes77

all I got from this is we only need 1 guy left on the board

By my calculations, since Toronto traded next year's 6th for Buffalo's 6th this year, they technically moved up 209 spots in the draft, give or take.

Are you going to poop on it tonight?

JB holding firm on getting things of worth for ROR. After this barrage on D at the draft it better be upfront that he addresses.

if I put 30 lottery tickets on a table, told you there was 1 winning ticket


would you rather have the first pick, or the 20th pick
- homiedclown

If they all get scratched off at the same time? I’ll certainly take two lottery tickets the next time.

It sure seems like all this anger is a result of ROR not moving

- homiedclown

Oh God, I get it, but are we really overreacting this much for a pick in the 6th freaking round? 153 picks after Rasmus freaking Dahlin was picked.

Botterill is a long name for a single popo...and pooping on the neighbors lawn is risky business...dont want to have to go back later to finish the "erill" with the second poop...so may I suggest you just go with 155

So next year Buffalo has:
(2) 1st round picks
(1) 2nd and 3rd round picks
(2) 4th round picks
(2) 6th round picks
7th round pick

That's like a treasure trove of assets

(SJ's 4th could become a 3rd in 2020 if they keep it next year)
- adambuffalo

No. SJ's 4th becomes a 3rd in 2019, if the 1st is deferred to 2020. The 1st is automatically deferred to 2020 if SJ does not make the playoffs next season.

hot take. Botts hates Canadians
- TheSabresTaco

Botts is Canadian.

I guess we're not trading ROR for two 2nds

Jason Botterill on pending RFA Sam Reinhart: "Our discussions with Craig Oster have been positive. I don’t view it as a difficult situation at all. Hopefully, we’ll look at some different structures in the upcoming weeks and get something done."

You mean they have talked already????

Oh my

It literally doesn't matter, because you draw the winner at the end, not as it goes.

There's more than 1 table, and the tickets are each individually Schrödinger's cat tickets.

Each could be something or nothing

Nope, it’s a double standard. Botts is a genius.
- Hatboro_Swords

No, if Botts was a genius he’d have traded a 1st for a sh!tty goalie

four of habs seven picks are centers


- Michael Pachla

4 out of 4 will disappoint

it should have been either the 5th next year or the 6th and 7th



not a pick 20 spots worse next year



I am out
- homiedclown

Listened to this on the radio and kept waiting for something else in the trade ... nothing... I'm sorry just a bad trade...especially when i heard another team traded their 6th for a 5th next year... doesn't give you a good feeling about the GM when you hear a trade like this

Botts is Canadian.
- Wetbandit1

Also drafted a lot of blonde europeans.
And wants to change next years goal song to ride of the valkaries.
And the sabres store will sell nothing but arm bands with the team logo on it.
Canadian sabres fans will be sent to internment camps due to their low social status.
Buffalo uber-alles!

Carolina trades one of their best chips for

2 defenseman?

I don’t get it.
- ImThatGuy

Well that’s good news for those who want O’Reilly traded
Carolina still needs a Center
Still has lots of defense to move
