It's been a scorching hot past few days in Buffalo with temps in the high 80s and low 90s.
The long range forecast call for more heat remaining all week with a drafty Lake Erie breeze all week here as the Buffalo Sabres will be hosting the NHL Draft next weekend.
If you are coming to Buffalo to attend the draft and Fan Fest live in person, bring your sunscreen.
Buffalo in the summertime. You can't beat it!
Auston Matthews' coronation will commence at 7pm EDT on Friday night in what promises to be a frenetic and exciting first round of the draft.
Sabres General Manager Tim Murray's future is so bright that he's got to wear shades. Murray and his pro and amateur scouting directors will meet with media on Tuesday morning. Murray will give his pigeon camera view of his strategy as it pertains to such aspects as trading up from #8 to #4. Has Murray found a trade partner in Columbus or Edmonton? Or, will Murray hold the 8th overall pick and select a star left D-man in Jakob Chychrun, Olli Juolevi or Mikhail Sergachev? Murray chatted more with Anaheim boss Bob Murray regarding QB Cam Fowler ? Will Steven Stamkos be a Sabre come July 1?
Murray is never one to act shyly at the NHL Draft.
Murray has a dozen draft picks in the 2016 NHL Draft including four third rounders, two fifth rounders, and two seventh rounders.
Murray can take his murrency with him when he's gone. I expect him to wheel and deal on the draft floor.
