Kevin Freiheit: How did Darcy do?

Duck Farcy!!! Twice.

Love zadorov though.

Buffalo will have one of the best top six in the league. (starting in a few years)

You guys got 2 nasty good Dmen. The Mcbain deal was a pretty solid trade for you guys as well. I think you could have really used some elite level offense but the quality of the picks was good for the team overall.

How do you feel your 2 1st round selections spells out for Myers?

the sabres are gonna be big and nasty 2-4 years.

Folnigo
Ott
Kaleta
Girgenson
McNabb
Zadorov

I'm probly forgeting some players

Sabres will be the most hated team in the NHL.

Now that we realize Darcy rejected Sekera and 8 for McBain and 5, he absolutely failed.

Amazing draft for you guys. Jealous.

they must not have been too high on lindholm, and obviously wanted Risto over Nurse. We'll see how it pans out in 2-3 years

He still swapped the 2 for a 2nd. I'd say the 2nd is more valuable that moving up 3 slots.

With the price that cheap, it's idiotic to reject that. I'd even argue McBain is just as good as Sekera, while being cheaper. It'd be like moving up 3 free spots...

Even so, getting Monahan would be FANTASTIC. Toews 2.0 in my opinion.

I think Buff did really well this draft. Itll look good in a couple of years.

Sabres won the draft.

Ristolainen and Zadorov were both good picks and McBain + for Sekera was robbery.

I loved everything, except I wanted Valeri Nichushkin with the first pick, I would not complain about anything else. I wouldnt have minded Lazar with the second since we took D first, but hopefully they know what they are doing.

I'm especially excited about our 2nd round as well. Compher was a captain for the US U18 group for the WJCs, Hurley may have been the youngest in the draft, but he'd be a 1st next year IMO, and Bailey looks like Backes 2.0, not to mention he's a local kid who will try even harder to make the team.

oh yeah I forgot you guys picked Bailey too, even better

He did not fail because the sabres would have drafted the same player no point in moveing up when your gonna draft the same player. So thier for Darcy won that trade.he frees up cap and he gets an exta pick
and remember the first 10 picks in the second round are the hidden gem picks plus the fact that baily feel fell on our lap just in Credible or should i say justin Credible.

Absolutely no way Darcy would pick Risto at 5. I'm not saying Darcy didn't win that trade, we robbed Rutherford. It's simply that there was a MUCH better deal out there that we should've gotten instead. We still would've gotten Zadorov, Hurley, AND Bailey as well. The only guy we wouldn't have gotten would've been JT Compher.

where is the better deal please tell me

Ristolainen and Compher or Lidholm is essentially what it comes down to, right?

That'll be one to look out for...

- mike13wilkins

Rutherford was the one that mentioned it, and it was mentioned to Darcy in an interview as well. You can watch it if you like, it's the 1st story on the Sabres' website. Getting McBain, Monahan/Lindholm (5), Zadorov (16), Hurley (38), and Bailey (52) is miles better than getting McBain, Ristolainen (8), Zadorov (16), Compher (35), Hurley (38), and Bailey (52).

It's all speculation now, though. Risto could be the next Pronger, and Lindholm/Monahan could be the next Alex Volchkov or Svitov for all we know.

we do not need a nother centre

the two in the second round is ok because that is depth

Grigorenko
Ennis
Hodgson
Girgenson

Both Monahan AND Lindholm would bypass everyone but Grigorenko at center (at least not right away, eventually they would). Lindholm is a RW as well as a C, so it wouldn't even matter in his case.

Miller, sure, just not Miller's contract. It's too rich and too short
