Nice post man. It's almost like we're going to some all-nation prospects game, with the amount of talent there. And it's all ours.

I totally got that feeling, I heard on WGR that the average weight was 200 pounds at camp. Pretty much everyone could skate really well for the exception of a few, and everyone was so good with the puck. We see with the Kings is that's what it takes to win. Sabres have a lot of potential

One more draft, man..one more draft. Get those elite scorers and keep assessing the goalie situation. I'd love to draft a defenseman with that third first rounder. Keep the high end talent flowing through the system. Gaps are bad, mkay.

One of McDavid/Eichel/Barzal and were set for a long time. We only have to rout for them to be bad for one more season, then we never have to do it again

I'm sure a couple of these higher profile kids we have won't pan out (the odds are, anyway), but if the majority of our potential top-9 kids meet expectations, and we're able to add one (or two... C'mon NYI!) of those 2015 guys, we are going to have an embarrassment of riches.

Very exciting.

Yeah of course, good thing is we have like 15 really good prospects, so if only half of them pan out, that's still doing a lot better then any other team in the league. It's going to be fun cheering for the Sabres to beat the Islanders next year

I am looking forward to the trades that some of these prospects will make available. 2 years from now we will have an even deeper prospect pool and a decent NHL team. it will be time to spin some draft picks and prospects into more top end NHL talent. We could pull off a deal like the Segin trade without being worried about not having depth.

Thats the thing. Once all these college kids start graduating/signing pro contracts Tim Murray is going to have to start trading assets. The Sabres have 'too many' prospects in their system that have the potential to pan out. Which is a great problem to have, but I am sure he is figuring out a game plan to start shedding some of them.

Maybe wishful thinking, but I'm hoping someone big will be in the stands. I need to add to my collection of RJ, Neal, Pegs, Ruff and Duff

Lets say the Sabres don't end up with the 1st or 2nd pick in next years draft for McDavid or Eichel.
This is what I hope.
I hope Myers has a monster year that makes him the most sought after dman in the league.
If I am Tim Murray at next years draft I offer , Tyler Myers and 2 of the Sabres highest 1st round picks to whom it may concern.
McDavid and or Eichel could be ours.
Me? I would do that deal 100 times out of 100!
So says ye?

I am under the impression that any player in the top 7-10 would be a game changer, so I don't think it's necessary.

What would make that worse, is if it's the Leafs or Sens.

So Myers and two relatively early 1st rounders (maybe one middle one early, but not 1 or 2)? I don't do that deal 100 out of 100 times

So Myers becomes great and then we trade him . Want to see other prospects develop before we show him the door. What if some of them fizzle . No guarantees.

I would do this as well, but McDavid is generational talent. Even when the draft is weak, 1st overall commands a fortune in return.

McDavid is being touted as the best prospect since crosby, I'm not sure there's an offer we could make that would peak that teams interest.

I'm curious to hear the response about what you all think of the scrimmage tonight. I feel like the consensus will be realistic and not farfetched like something Garth would post.
