This is pretty good. I don't think we've gotten a duplicate answer yet

They don't seem tied to a position or handedness when it comes to which side defensemen play.

I fully expect them to take multiple defensemen with post 2nd round picks, but I think they'll just take the best player available with all of their first 4 picks.

1D + 2C gets me to 3 as well. I don't think I'm too far out there. Even less with some of the top wingers possibly projecting as C.

Gerbe said trade up. With all these picks, it seems inevitable at some point.

This! drafting 3 or 4 defenseman this draft would be would be a good amount.

You basically shared it days in advance when you shared that the Sabres really liked Rosen.

Trying to move up from 28 and/or 41 seems inevitable.
