Johansson yes
Kerfoot a soft 3C no thx
Bracco an AHLer

You need stability not more bodies up front.

Risto for Horvat, an amazing deal, the best deal, you're an idiot and SAD if you don't accept

From the list u provided,
I don’t see much of a difference at all between who got picked 5 & who went 8th
Both had some busts, some decent players, and some really good players

Also...
why is no one talking about Jack Quinn as a potential pick for us?
Admittedly, i haven’t done my due diligence on these draft prospects... but assuming the draft falls like it’s supposed to.....
I’m taking him or Holtz
We NEED a goal scoring RW, do we not?
- jdfitz77

I bolded Holtz because, correct.
You don't pick players based on present needs. Not in hockey.

Top 5 are pretty good picks. Don’t see anything strange happening. It’s 6th & beyond where it can shuffle up.
- Nighthawk

who goes 4 and 5?

We should be doing the opposite and trading Risto and maybe drafting a Lundell.
- Fattony1187

Lundell would be a good fit imo
Pro game 200’ ready to slot in.

Having every household in America having the mindset of "here's the problem, let's find a solution, be accountable?"

That's how my house is run. Based on what I see every day in all sides of media, that's not America's ideals. And it's disappointing.

Ok, we didn't need to go here and I'm done following these messages as soon as I click 'Submit'

I admitted my ignorance while you seem to be celebrating yours .... I also admit you had me fooled ... for a minute .. but that's not hard so, whatever

Detroit's in the top 5, so get ready for Sanderson at #4.
- TheSabresTaco

The kid is good but idk if LHD suits their need or BPA. Perfetti my guess

woah woah hold on. I think we are on two way different pages. Back up. What did you mean before you made that first post? Apologies for misunderstanding by the way.

I could see adams being safe and just drafting Lundell and that just shows me he is going to be nothing as a GM

Johansson yes

- Nighthawk

Agreed
We don’t need MORE 3rd liners
Johansson-Cozens-Kahun for line3

Need a 2C & RW2 to play with Skinner/Olofsson

Kerfoot was not good at 3C on a team stacked with forward talent
Many Leafs fans don’t even think he should play Center, & that he looks better as a winger

PLEASE not ANOTHER one of these guys...
especially at 2C when he should be on line3

And Johnsson is a LW, doesn’t really fit unless we are trading Kahun or MoJo

If I made that deal I’d be exiled to Buffalo.
No thx I like the mild climate here more lol

We don't know that really, there's always a surprise that might help with 6 thru 8.

Quinn is rated just outside the top10 & looks like a heck of a goal scorer

We will ALWAYS need goal scorers

Rossi could fall into your lap.
Holtz a fine winger but 2C takes precedent.

- jdfitz77

it's admittedly closer than i thought, but I like the talent at 5 better from that list. Im also not a huge fan of Werenski and Ristolainen so that plays into it.

As for Quinn, he's almost a year older than his peers, and missed the cutoff for last years draft by very little, a year in which is production wasn't very good.

I mean, who doesn't. But I'm not picking Caufield over Cozens.

- Nighthawk

That's not a recipe for success when it comes to drafting. They need to solve their issues down the middle, but if the better talent is a winger that's the pick.

who goes 4 and 5?
- TheHank

Wings & Sens huh

Perfetti & Raymond my best guess. Sens could go RHD Drysdale being they are hard to get.

Rossi could fall into your lap.
Holtz a fine winger but 2C takes precedent.
- Nighthawk

If I have Perfetti, Holtz and Lundell to pick from, I'd go Perfetti all day. Doubt that's a scenario. I know a lot of people like Lundell to be the safe guy, but he really feels like a Lawson Crouse pick. Like, you know he'll play in the NHL, but can the guy actually put up points.

I could see adams being safe and just drafting Lundell and that just shows me he is going to be nothing as a GM
- gerbe75pts

What do u think about Quinn?
No one here is talking about him & he lit up the OHL for 52 goals in 62 games
That’s pretty great for your draft year

I don’t think the Sabres really have enough collateral to package with the #8 to move up high enough that’s justifiable.

Outside of the ever popular Risto, I don’t see any other piece they would be willing to float. Only other attractive options are Cozens, Reinhart, and maybe UPL if you find the right team

- gerbe75pts

I really don't agree with this, the kid has been playing in a men's league for 2yrs already and produced. He would make are C position pretty strong
Eichel
Cozens
Lundell
Sounds pretty good, know use your other chips to secure some decent wingers.

Rossi could fall into your lap.
Holtz a fine winger but 2C takes precedent.
- Nighthawk

Cozens, Mittelstadt
And I’m assuming Rossi is gone

If it’s need at 2C then at 8 one of Perfetti (not likely there) Rossi (possibly there) Lundell (highly likely available).

I get that, but if they think Holtz or Raymond is BPA at 8, then that's who you take assuming they are there.

Werenski is very good & not getting traded.
