We still lack top line or even top 6 potential forwards in our system. Would have liked them to take a swing on one of those guys with the first pick in the second. Seemed like one of those "safe" picks. Doesnt excite me

No.

There is a reason they are falling and right now you are hoping a guy drafted can become McCabe.

No the reason why The forwards are dropping because teams are drafting defenseman

You’re going to get a good forward in the second or third round now that would’ve been in the first or second

I said wings restock the organization ? “And people said The Islanders are killing “ the wings are getting steals “ yes I’m Being negative towards my team

Ok then

We have no idea.

That is all.

Sure it looks good but how many times have Buffalo Fans been high in their own prospects to have them not turn out to what they thought.

It happens every where. Relax

who would fit that bill?

no...not at all...they're prospects and there's no guarantee lower first-rounders/second rounders will even make it to the nhl

Perception.

That's what is perceived, not necessarily reality. We just see you complaining a lot about something not being good enough for you.

Kind of like picking the one flaw on a beautiful woman you're with and then comparing yours to someone else's on a consistent basis.

Says you. I’ll trust the experts.

I mean all the players picked are basically first overall picks anyways.

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.

Remember how pissed most of us were that the Sabres passed on Nichuskin(sp?) he was going to be a star for years.

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

mention everyone but the devils, but ok

How many goalies have gone so far?

I'd like to see them take one EVERY year.

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

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

That’s why I suggested we should trade one of the players on the team for a 3rd

Sean Day...?

Watching NHL.com feed, these two announcers remind me of the guys from Dodgeball.

Axel in Sweedish means shoulder in English.
