Unless they surprise, they're going to draft a quality center prospect, and they need that.

we have quality centers . Just need the game plan and team philosophy.

All of those players are all very talented. 3 is the same as 7

Anybody here see Trevor Zegras play at all? He is one of the draft prospects. Looks like he could be a good fit.

He's extremely good and carried Hughes' jock when Hughes was injured.

7+20=Hall?
- SyrSabreFan


We do not own the 20th pick for the love of God, and Hall is a UFA. Please just stop......please

Heres something to cheer everyone up.

Two years ago Philly moved from 13 to 2 and the best they got was that bust Nolan Patrick

- RippedFuel


Thanks Rip . Most of the picks are 2-5 years away unless they are classed up high. Picks sucks . need to keep the talent instead of hoping to land one .

I’m fine keeping and drafting the center at 7. We have no 2nd rd pick so we need a high quality prospect in system. Trade 20ish though to help the team.


I would trade it with okposo just to get rid of his contract. That 6 million free could be an actual player helping us.

Depth can be had with the right trades. Look at the players that took off . minimal trade and flourished for the teams . It can happen .

Chances were better that we were picking 5-7 then top 3. We will get a very good prospect, best guess is Turcotte or Krebs.

Seems like a wasted season now

Of course it was a wasted season. They didn’t make the playoffs.

Botterill's best work in Pittsburgh was the minor 1 for 1s they made the summer before the cup win

Turned Sutter into Bonino

Scuderi into Daley

Perron into Hagelin

Individually not much to look at but all 3 adds were much better/faster than the guys they replaced. And in terms of cap it cost the pens about the same.

Good idea Poso is too spensive for this team .

Nobody is going to take number 20 for Okposo. Maybe number 7 for Okposo?

If he falls to 7 I’ll cheer in the streets. I think we are in Boldy/Zegras/Dach territory now.

As a sabres fan, glass houses and all that.

That said, I encourage everyone to read up on Kaako Kappo. That's who we'll be taking 2oa

Will he drop to 7th?

I think too many people are over estimating the impact Hughes or Kakko would’ve had on next season. Granted I wanted to pick in the top 2 but I’m not throwing in the towel on the whole season because we are picking 7. We are still getting a good player in a deep draft. Many other moves need to be made, both addition & subtraction, to get better results next year. Go Botts!

Is it okay to cheer next year, or should everyone be pulling for 0-82?
