I wonder where to buy one of these crystal ball thingies.

I wonder what round Schenn was picked in?
- sbroads24

probably early forth so that's just like a late 2nd, which could sometimes be regarded as a quasi- first.

So guaranteed we get a Schenn in next years draft?

I'm not for the above, but moving one, yea i am all for that.
- ImThatGuy

Nope, not guaranteed at all.

But I guarantee you we’d have Schenn now for a lot less time than a Schenn we get to draft and develop.

But hey, let’s keep that window with an 18 year old Dahlin and 22 year old Eichel short and load up on late-twenties big contracts

Sabres plan- trade for all the castoff penguins.
Bills plan- get all the castoff panthers.

Fans plan- keep buying tickets and hoping for next year.
- Khmylev

Sabres fans plan: Lets pick guys with picks between 20-27 and think theyre going to be all stars. oh...theyre not...rinse and repeat...another 5 years of no playoffs..

If Okposo has no trade value. It's time to cut our loses now and move on already.

It's like bringing seabiscuit out every night and thinking he's gonna turn it around.

Over it!!

So you want to waive him put him in the minors and pay him while he is not on the roster?

Makes sense.

Cliff Pu is a hell of a prospect. I hear he's the next Braydon Point

St Louis and San Jose picks aren't gonna be in the top 5, bro.

Im sure Ill get butchered for this..but who cares...

Im done with "prospects". In my 40 years of being a sabres fan, Ive seen too many Novotnys, Paul Cyrs, David Coopers, Eric Rasmussens, and Wayne Primeaus, to worry about "prospects". Hell, they even took Brad May over Keith Tkachuk because he was a better "prospect".

Id love nothing more than JB to trade all three of those 1sts for some TRUE NHL depth. 2nd and 3rd line guys that can help this weekend. Everyone thinks youre getting 3 Pasterniks with those picks. That one year Boston had 3 1sts in a row. ONE is an NHL player..one.

Go cherry pick some cap stressed/ tanking tems for some NHL players...Flyers, Leafs, whoever...get Eichel some damn help already
- RippedFuel

I will not butcher you, I applaud you. I feel the same exact way. Picks are a crap shoot really. I would give up to all three away of I could get a true scoring #2 center.

Yep. Make a statement.

Bring someone up like a CJ Smith

Let's see if he can play or not.

hindsight..... it's a wonderful thing...

Heres the draft history when we haven't been in the lottery...

Mittelstadt, Nylander, Risto, Zadorov, Grigerenko, Girgensons, Armia, Pysyk, Kassian, Myers, Ennis.

oh yes please....hang on to all of them....PLEASE...what a team we'd have

11 picks....Mittelstadt - incomplete...other than that....Risto, Zadorov, and Myers are the only ones Id redraft.

We could...he plays in Ottawa

No offense, but that is absurd.

Thank god the same GM and scouting staff picked all of them

How would hindsight tell you that 3 1st round picks won't equate to the 2C you acquire?

Looking at past drafts, that would not be the case unless we were extremely unlucky.

I don't mean to be a jerk. Ive just had it.

Does anyone honestly think theyre going to finish 7th....rather than 11th??

No, I just think your ideas of how to fix the team are radical and won't work. It's different.

No offense, but that is absurd.
- RhinoFan

I don't think that's absurd at all....to get a true scoring center... 24-28 years old. A REAL #2 center...id make that trade too.

Id trade all three for a resigned Matt Duschene

Right...so draft 3 guys that "may" be NHL players in 4 years...

Great way to maximize Eichels prime

They definitely won’t work out and if they do they definitely won’t be NHL’ers until they are 22.

I’m sold
