From various Mocks, it would seem that 3 of those would be there at 9
Wright, Slafv, Cooley, Nemec, Jiricek, Gauthier, Kemmel, Savoie seem to be in the top 7 in some form or fashion.
Anyone's guess, generally speaking those seem to be the top guys...Nazar, Lekkerimaki, Kasper, Korchinski, Yurov, Minty usually come next in some way.

Who knows though, I'm sure we'll see somebody surprise us.

It would be surprising if at least 1 of them didn't fall to 9. Seems to happen every year.

I would consider using the second round pick to get tyler brennan, best NA goalie in draft and then use the third rd pick to get topias leinonen, best euro goalie in draft

both goalies have size

Ah, My wording was a little confusing. I’m hoping one of those guys is there at 16.

Yurov?
Miro? (Imo probably not)

Detroit is the wildcard, solely based on Seider pick.
Teams who may be interested in C's
Philly (although Jiricek seems perfect for them) with Gauthier
CBus
Ottawa
Detroit

Savoie, Nazar, Kasper might be all gone.
Hope Kemmel and/or Lekkerimakki is attractive to one or two of them.

I think there’s a decent chance Miro is there. Maybe even both of these guys. Wouldn’t mind Kasper there either. It’s a fun draft to speculate on, especially with three 1st round swings to take.

philly will probably trade away that pick for some player they think can get them in the playoffs.. who is the epitome of a torts player they should trade for

Many of you guys follow this more closely than I do, but if it started veering off the rails at 3 again, would you really be surprised? Even when guys do fall to us, Sabres are still known to go off-board.

Curious if picking 16 stops them from reaching for their favorite prospect at 9. Thinking of McGroarty.

I think the Sabres have "their type", placing certain characteristics higher than some public scouts/Prospect Evaluators do...so going off-public boards. McGroaty seems like their type...same for Savoie and Nazar.

Should be interesting.

Is it bad that 3 first round picks this year just doesn’t excite me at all?

No, but it means you're going to have a long off-season.

It would be nice to add 4 top 41 picks to the pool, it would be more fun to add two of those to the pool and a top half/third NHL player instead.

No, it is a sign that we have a lot of assets. If this were right after Darcy's "pain is coming" presser then we would all be way more invested than we collectively seem to be.

While this is true. This years nhl draft is considered a really good draft just not Mcdavid type elite talent at the top

So the Sabres potentially could draft 3 good players

Would love if Cutter fell to 9, and then Nazar at 16, if that happened what ever happened with 28 would be a bonus to me.

Did the Sabres even try with Kuzmenko or did he have teams that he had already picked to talk to and Buffalo wasn't one.
