The Draft is in 8 days..

[Crisis]

there's no way the Sabres are taking a skinhead Russian

[Crisis]

what a neo-nazi

[Michael82]

I said it with Patrick Kane and I'll say it now...

I'd move heaven and earth and get the #1 overall.

I would too. Tavares would give us a star on the Buffalo Sabres again and a damn good goal scorer! Too bad it wouldn't happen though. Darcy wouldn't do that.

[SabreEleven]

Plus who would want Buffalo's garbage for the 1st overall pick...It would probably take Vanek or Miller before they would even listen..who else is worth it?

[Michael82]

Anyone else think we might see a fan favorite like Pominville traded at the draft?

not a chance! Pommers has a no movement clause and no trade clause written in this contract

NTC - player cannot be traded without his consent; consent not required for waivers for assignment to minors.
NMC - player cannot be traded, waived for a claim by another team, or assigned to the minors without his consent.

Jason Pominville, BUF - NMC/NTC [starting July 1, 2009; same terms as Ryan Miller]

I've never heard of him having one, nor should he...he isn't good enough to demand that. Another reason why this organization is a joke...if true.

He does not have one until July 1st, so he could be traded at the draft.

I still prefer Hedman.

As I recall, it is a limited NTC. There is a list of teams he can't be moved to. It is not a complete NTC.

[SabreEleven]

Pominville won't be traded..he is one of the Golden Boys that this organization is in love with and can't do anything wrong...He supposely will lead us to the Holy land...Not holding my breathe.

I've heard the Darcy interview and it pretty much sums up why I believe this is one of the worst run hockey departments in the NHL. The incompetency of these guys is fu**ing unbelievable. Anybody who believes this team is good enough or is even close to being good enough does not know a damn thing about hockey and should not be running the hockey department of an NHL team! This team will NEVER win a Cup with Darcy and Quinn making decisions. They've proven time and time again that they don't know what they hell they are doing.

Sabres to take a High Schooler @ #13

Round 1 (13th) - Chris Kreider (C, Phillips-Andover - Mass HS), Louis Leblanc (C, Omaha - USHL), Jordan Caron (C/RW, Rimouski - QMJHL)

A 6'2, 200-pound leader with strong hands, a missile shot, and superior speed, Kreider is exactly what the Sabres pipeline craves in terms of skill, character, and physical play. The Massachusetts native owned Division I of the NEPSIHA as a junior for Phillips-Andover Academy, posting 33 goals and 56 points in 26 games while elevating his play as the competition improved. After the Sabres completed their combine interview with the well-spoken Boston College commit, they watched as his physical attributes sparkled during the rigorous testing.

Because of his acceleration and release, Kreider could be an excellent breakout option as a wing as well. Either way, he represents a gifted, flexible placeholder depending on what happens organizationally between now and when he signs. You never know. He may very well end up being a dynamo on draws given his strength and coordination, which would obviously raise his value as a pivot.

Kreider repeated his sophomore year when transferring into the prep school, so unless he accelerates his senior year over the summer back in Masconomet's public system, he won't hit Hockey East until 2010. If that's the case, it will be in his best interests to head to Lincoln of the USHL for a preparatory season.

THanks for saving me time, now I don't have to watch since you said so. and if this is true, that is just wonderful, it's just what the Sabres need. A High Schooler who want be ready for the NHL for at least another 5 years...PERFECT.

Isn't the average at least 3-4 years to get to NHL once drafted anyway? What's one more year? Also the guy is the fastest skater in the draft and supposedly has a good wrist and slap shot. The guy has speed in spades and you can never have enough of that. I would endorse this pick.

Honestly it doesn't matter who they draft, they'll be a bust.
