Go sign some bums for the ECHL. Don't waste a top 60 pick on goalies who aren't going to be taken in the top 60
- DirtyDan

Really think it depends on how the draft falls. Sabres have only drafted 5 goalie's in the last 10yrs, only 1 is in the Organization right now. They shouldn't have to go and sign a scrub.

Our prospect center depth is beyond poor. At least two of those four first picks need to be primary center and RHD.
- TheSabresTaco


Been thinking this for awhile myself...C and RhD positions.
Two of the hardest positions to acquire.

Unfortunately, to acquire a top-flight one of either in this draft, they likely would need to move into the 5 spot and select one of Gauthier, Nemec or Jiricek...

You could trade back, you could trade up,

Reaching 20 spots for a goalie is rookie mistake

So were reaching 20 spots to take a goalie. Great idea.

Reaching 3 spots for Quinn tho was an abomination.

Thats some logic right there

just get a guy, don't get your guy

you got 4 picks in the top 41


needs for center depth, goalie prospects and rd


leaving the draft with a top 3 RD prospect in this class, 2 top center prospects and the best goalie prospect is a bad idea

If Jiricek fell to 7, I think I might get the itch to go get him.

good post


we are loaded with goalie prospects under contract


the best is ranked either mid 50's or early 60's but we dont need him

I mean who goes out and gets their man when you work for hockey heaven

- homiedclown


Maybe trade back...we need more 7th's...then, draft 3 in the 7th

The first 2 will be gone in the top 5. The next 2 might be gone before our 28th pick.

Reaching 20 spots to grab "your guy" is like day 1 stuff man. They teach you not to do that. Get an extra pick and trade back

Any RHD in the first and probably 2nd round is better than the rest we have.

This is Brandon Beane mentality, the get versatile, smart players. Projection matters too, but to get a guy who can play multiple lines, multiple positions, that poop gets their pants tight.
- TheSabresTaco


I kinda think it's a good thing, drafting versatile players.

Especially when your projecting these kids 3 or 4 years out.

Hard to criticize what the Bill's are doing. I heard the Sabres/ KA are really trying to "catch" the process.

I also heard the structures were set up similar, with the coaches having more say in players compared to traditional roles.

KA is managing generally , which is why he was hired.
Smart guy that puts others in positive positions to make the right choices.
KA has been groomed for years....

Goaltender success in the NHL and draft position might have the least correlation of any position in sports.
