12-Buffalo Sabres- Radek Faksa, C, Kitchener

Buffalo needs some size up front and Faska gives them that. Faksa is another player that projects to be a safe bet to be a 2/3 line centre.

21-Buffalo Sabres (from Nash)- Colton Sissons, C/RW, Kelowna

The Sabre continue to look for size up front and add one of the most competitive players in the draft. While he may never be an all star, Sissons is the type of player that you win with.

Ian Esplen Mock Draft
Vancouver Blogger....

Someone needs to keep track of all these blogger mock drafts to see who was the closest.

Ok with those picks if we keep them
I wouldn't be surprised to see those picks traded though

Resign Goose for $3M.

Per.

first mock ive seen with both sabres picks going to forwards, which is the right play this year.

most mocks ive seen have the sabres selecting one, if not two dmen in the first round, apparently these guys dont do their research. sabres d cupboard is stocked right now

I think they are just trying to pick the best guy on the board. Knowing that anyone we pick is probably 2 years away, if not more, you draft the most talented guy period.

I agree with you though. Lets grab a center or two and get the development going ASAP

CSNPHILLY.COM’s John Boruk claimed via Twitter ”Two NHL insiders had told me last year a Bobby Ryan/Jonas Hiller deal for Ryan Miller was all but done and then the Lucic incident happened.” That prompted the following response from TH BUFFALO NEWS’ Mike Harrington via Twitter: “The Ryan Miller deal-was-done tweet from Philly is silly. He was never asked for a list of teams to be dealt to. Confirmed that multiple x”. Harrington added, “Did the Ducks and Sabres TALK about Miller? Absolutely. But it was never close enough for the Sabres to even take it to Miller.”
SPECTOR’S NOTE: I don’t believe the Sabres seriously considered moving Miller, nor do I believe Miller is available now. As for Ryan, the Ducks will listen to offers, but it would take a substantial one to pry him away from the Ducks. Parros will attract attention from teams seeking toughness this summer.

Resign Goose for $3M.

Crazy stocked
We were so deep at defense last year, that schiestel (who was an AHL all-star the year before) was moved down to the ECHL to get some playing time when he struggled last year
Plus, we now have top defensive prospects in Pysyk & Leduc joining Rochester this year
Morrisonn gone opens a slot,
But we still have a big logjam down there...
I look for at least one of our "NHL" defensemen to be moved to make room here for McNabb... And one of our prospects (maybe Brennan) to be moved in a deal

Resign Goose for $3M.

Meh. Ryan has had a better supporting cast. Vanek has produced in a world of trash for centers

But he's a great 'pivot' on 'the dot'.

LOL! That's gold, Jerry! But was it the pic, or the number of repetitions of pics that done did it?

I think that was when I first started coming to HB and didn't really get the joke... care to enlighten us?

Vanek and Miller for Ryan and Perry. Then, sign Gaustad for Ehrhoff's deal, 10 years $40 million.

Put them all together and you have the Duck, Duck, Goose line. All that's left to do is count the cup wins.

A team at the deadline that's looking at a making a decent playoff run will pay an arm and a leg, and will also be a team that will fully intend to sign him themselves. I think he's one of those players that is an exception to the general rule of the expiring contract because of what he brings to the ice, especially in the playoffs. Unless the Pens feel like they are shaping up for a cup run (which is not impossible, anyway) I think they'd be foolish to let him walk, and I can't see how the Pens would be able to keep him long term.
- BuffaJoe

Sounds like the Penguins

The Penguins have the resources and the will to keep him long term, this comes down to Staal wanting to be a Penguin long term. The Pens will pay him. Letang is the one I think that will move on in 3 years when his 3.5M cap hit becomes north of 7M. Despres Morrow Harrington will help fill Letang's void. Long way to go before any of that needs to be worried about.

Sigh. Must be nice having "problems" like these. Also, very convenient of Staal to plan a wedding on draft day.

Goose gets a from loaded 12 year deal with 10 up front declining to the league minimum to keep it cap friendly.
