The Sabres get St. Louis 1st-round pick in 2014 if Blues make Western Conference finals or Ryan Miller re-signs. 1st round in 2015 automatic

[jamesiscool]

How many 1st rounders do the sabers have over the next two drafts?

[coastal]

Anyone hear anything about Carrier being packaged with Moulson and being sent to Ottawa?

if so, can someone please tell Curtis Lazar he is more than welcome here in Buffalo

[Dr. Lecter]

How many 1st rounders do the sabers have over the next two drafts?

As of now 4 - Their pick each year, the Blues in 2015 and the Islanders in one of the years

[Meathead]

so if the conditional becomes a first that gives them five firsts and five seconds in the next two drafts. thats obscenely cool

[YardRat]

I just became a short-term Blues fan, or at least hope Miller falls in love with the city of St Louis

[Skooby]

Murray later explained that the pick in 2016 could turn into a first-round pick in this year's draft if the Blues reach the Western Conference finals or Miller re-signs with St. Louis before the draft.




I read this on the game summary, so ??

Do we get bonus points if both happen?

[chernobylwraiths]

I'm pretty sure we only get the first.

No both pretty sure

Actually I heard it would be 11 picks in the first two rounds. They have so many 2nd round picks it is insane

I hope that at some point they move some of the picks for players

Tom it's insane how many picks!

[chernobylwraiths]

No both pretty sure

I'm only saying that the 3rd in 2016 turns into a first in 2014 if one, the other or both happen. You're saying we get both if both happens?

Let's see how the scouting people are. If they are pretty good, we could be getting much better players in the draft than could be had with trading the pick.

Well alright, go Blues.

Please make the WCF, then lose. Just to make the pick a little better.

I lived outside of St Louis for five years growing up, so my first NHL exposure was all about Blues games during the Hull/Oates/Stevens/CuJo years.

I wish them well in a Victor Corleone kind of way. Good luck to the Blues, provided their interests don't conflict with the Sabres interests.

So you'd like to kiss your St. Louis Brother during the WCF ?

[WagonCircler]

Was Victor another of Sonny's illegitimate sons?

I always thought Vito was short for Victor for some reason.

now i have more incentive to root for miller and st louis.

Miller wins his first game as a Blue.

[gebobs]

St. Looie is like a bigger Buffalo.

[gebobs]

Similar colors too. Might be the same colors but my color blindness makes my color judgment laughable.

Comeback from 2-zip down.

OK... I heard something concerning the conditional pick that makes absolutely no sense... I heard that if we do get that 2014 1st rounder from the Blues, we not only loose the 2016 1st rounder, but we give up our 2014 2nd and 3rd. Why would we make that deal just to move up a few spots from our 2nd?

[chernobylwraiths]

We had a 2016 3rd round that we would lose if we got the 1st this year, never heard the 2nd and 3rd angle.

Yeah, I saw that too,

Basically if Miller resigns, Buffalo sends their 2014 2nd and 3rd round pick to St Louis.

St Louis send their 2014 1st to Buffalo.

[Yasgur's Farm]

St Louis send their 2014 1st to Buffalo.Exactly... And we only move up a few spots from our 2nd to their 1st.

[Downinfloflo]

Exactly... And we only move up a few spots from our 2nd to their 1st.

I do think the Sabres still get that other 1st tho.So the picks look like.

St Louis, 2014 and 2016-1st to Buffalo.

Buffalo, 2014 2nd and 3rd to St Louis.

nothing about the 2016 first

[JATMtheJATM]

St Louis, 2014 and 2016-1st to Buffalo.

Buffalo, 2014 2nd and 3rd to St Louis.

i think thats a 2015 first. not 16

[Yasgur's Farm]

Yes... So total cost for Blues' 2014 1st is Sabres' 2014 2nd & 3rd plus Blues' 2015 3rd that we already own. That can't be right!
