Too bad the Sabres don’t pick again till the 4th.

But it's the first pick of round 4, so it's actually a 3rd - ha!!

Which is basically a second which is basically first overall.


BOOM!

With how many misses we've had on potentially flashy picks (see: Grigorenko, Mikhail) I love a good safe pick.

We have, what 0 picks from 2009 - 2011 draft anywhere in the organization now? I'm all about safe for a bit to build a foundation and then draft for pop.

We need an organizational foundation first.

I can respect that thought. I guess my philosophy after round one, is to grab the highest ceiling/boom potential players. But maybe some would prefer that practice for rounds 3 and on.

He was Supposed to be the Jack Eichel of this draft two years ago he was projected to go first overall injuries and consistency issues caused him to drop and other players to pass him

was told he had some issues

mention everyone but the devils, but ok

Based on the draft last year, that seems to be the JB mentality, which is fine.

I'd be solidly on board with that, if we actually had a history of developing players. The Sabres just don't, so I want safe.

But, the current mgmt SEEMS to be doing better.

Also, it looks like the players Murray drafted were actually decent (some of them). It won't take many of them to make the team to make him stand out against his predecessor.

I guess Pitt really liked Hallander

He was pretty good and he's coming back...
- buffalofan19

We talking bout the same guy?

Career high 30 points and got sent down for not really caring and then bolted to the KHL.

I’d not really call that pretty good.

Yes.

I guess Pitt really liked Hallander
- PrinceChill

only needed to add a fifth rounder to get their guy

U.S. teammate Bode Wilde on Samuelsson: "They’re getting a guy who will complement Dahlin pretty well. I could just imagine those two playing together. Mattias will definitely lock it up defensively and shut down and allow a guy like Dahlin to have a bit of freedom."


Anyone still feel like crying?

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

Rhetorical question, correct?

Sean Day...?
- kingcong39

Little similar but day did not put the work in to reach the next level he just assumed he was the best and others passed him

But the rangers kicked him in the ass so he should be good when he comes in


Jake is undersized the problem is he never Got bigger maybe he will Hit 3 more inches Could be a late bloomer

Just read that myself, hope he develops as such.

Understandable. I just dont want to let mistakes in the past define the way we draft today.

What number will Dahlin wear

Go

here comes the pick buffalo gave up to min in the Scandella trade

What number will Dahlin wear

Go

Yes we didn’t draft (insert player name here). He is going to be the next Wayner McGreztky

It won't and it isn't. Remember the pick last year which had everyone scurrying to find out who the hell it was?

I am curious to see if JB and team go with any CHL guys. Its pretty clear their strategy is drafting Euro and College bound players.
