Draft Day Thread

[coastal]

It's a big day for the future of the club... at least that is how I'm hoping the Sabres are approaching this. They have to be... there not on the edge of greatness... there on the cusp of building a youthful, competitive team.

Keep that mindset and load up on young talent... and things will work out.

heres some players to look out for at 8...

Darnell Nurse
Elias Lindholm
Rasmus Ristolainen

Sleeper - Zachary Fucale

heres a few more to look out for at 16...

Adam Erne
Nikita Zadorov
Mirco Mueller

Re: Draft Day Thread

I'm hoping we move on from dead weight on our roster & start anew. I doubt we will & have to give time to grow together, that'll be the call while I vomit.

Re: Draft Day Thread

Would love to pick up two more top 50 picks for Vanek and Miller.

As if the Sabres weren't middle of the road enough Let's get even more players that will take years to develop if they develop at all.

interesting the rumour flying around is the Sabres want to move up to 5 and Tyler Myers is going to the Hurricanes

Re: Draft Day Thread

Darcy Regier says there are teams picking between 20 and 30 that want to move up into 16.. Carolina Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford tells TSN he has serious offers from 2 teams that want to move up into 5

Re: Draft Day Thread

When you are picking 2nd overall you should be drafting the 2nd best player not the 4th best player the Panthers should have taken Seth Jones and not Sasha Barkov. Speaking of Jones I never would have guessed a month ago he wouldn't go in the 1st 3 picks.. Darcy should be making a phone call to Nashville GM David Poile right now

Re: Draft Day Thread

So its Ristolainen at 8 and Regier gets Joel Armia a finnish buddy..Im not very happy with this Ristolainen is not a Top 10 talent talent wise so I do think it is a a reach. I wonder why they didn't take Nischuskin who for some reason is dropping like a stone just like Grigorenko did last year

I'll give you a 3 letter answer: KHL.

Re: Draft Day Thread

hearing goaltender Zach Fucale or Brendan Burke son of Sean Burke might be the pick #16. Can't have too many goaltenders!

I know but 5 years from now I think Sabres fans will be pissed that Regier didn't take Nichuskin

Re: Draft Day Thread

I think Darcy takes Adam Erne at 16

Re: Draft Day Thread

Another defensemen Nikita Zadorov. Zadorov has good size he is a bit of a project but some scouts think he has tremendous upside.. I do think Darcy got good value with this pick

Re: Draft Day Thread

Obviously looking at defense. Good.

you don't suck the way we do with all those shots on goal with defense not being an issue.

two solid picks as each defensemen has top 4 potential.
