this guy over on HF Boards has it down pat...
http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/sh...568803&page=25Since we are Buffalo and the most unluckiest team in the league, unless the Sabres finish last then we are not guaranteed a top 2 pick. If the Sabre finished 29th then a team who finished 3rd-14th would probably win the lottery dropping the Sabres to 3 and out of the top 2 superstar prospects.
I would be extremely happy with Ekblad at #2 if we finished last but lost the lottery. But if we don't get either him or Reinhart, then I would look at the season as the ultimate failure at rebuilding while being terrible.
sam bennet is good too. sabres would be fine in the top 3

OR that pick could be available to help acquire a ROR or Evander KaneOriginally Posted by JATMtheJATM
Please. Take him!
- Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe: With the injuries to the Bruins blueline, they’ll look for a defenseman. They don’t want to be shorthanded for the playoffs on the blueline for the second consecutive season. They would like a rental defenseman, as they’ll need the extra money to re-sign Torey Krug and Reilly Smith, who will both get raises from their $925,000 and $900,000 deals. The Bruins may prefer a left handed shooting, stay-at-home defenseman. It would likely cost them a pick and/or prospect. Potential trade targets could be: Chris Phillips (OTT), Andrew MacDonald (NYI), Kyle Quincey (DET) and Henrik Tallinder (BUF).
I think Sam Bennett is a great player for a coach like Nolan.
i, personally, wouldnt move away from the top 5. call it the allure of the unknown.OR that pick could be available to help acquire a ROR or Evander Kane

i forgot about leon draisatl too. sabres should get a dandy wherever they end up. 1 2 or 3.
Draisatl will be out of top 5 by time draft rolls around.
think so? i wouldnt mind, should the isles not defer, picking him up.
i also wouldnt mind, no, i encourage buffalo to draft a goalie high.
No goalie in this upcoming draft has a 1st Round Grade. I wouldn't mind Thatcher Demko somewhere between 40 and 50
i havnt seen the goalie class this year. but when i say high, i mean second round or higher if it applies.
Tim Murray wants rewards from any trades
Speaking with The Buffalo News prior to Saturday’s 5-2 win over the hottest team in the NHL, the Columbus Blue Jackets, Murray didn’t offer any new specifics on what might happen with the team’s key pending unrestricted free agents. But he did say he’s now casually chatted with Ryan Miller, Matt Moulson and Steve Ott – the trio of players widely believed to be available prior to the March 5 trade deadline.
And Murray made sure to emphasize this point: None of them are getting traded unless the Sabres reap significant rewards.
“I’ve told them all the same thing really and it was like, ‘It’s unfortunate you’re going to see your name in the paper. That’s just the nature of the game,’ ” Murray said. “They’re not young players. They’ve been around. They know the game. They know that this is part of it.There will be an NHL roster freeze on Feb. 7 prior to the Olympics and there’s plenty of speculation that’s going to create an artificial first trade “deadline” prior to the official deadline on March 5.“I told them not to believe everything they read or everything they’ve heard on the sports channels. But certainly their names are in play and we’ll see what happens but it doesn’t guarantee they’ll be moved at all. For me, it’s all about return. These are good players. So if the return was up to a certain point and not great and we then decide we want to talk to them about staying, then that’s an option too.”
Murray said many teams have reached out to him to discuss the Sabres’ plans.
“There’s been lots of interaction, a lot of early talking,” he said. “There’s been no real specifics. I think teams are just trying to feel us out, feel me out on what we want to do. There’s certainly been discussions. I’m not sure there’s any artificial deadline. I think people are in a wait-and-see mode, to tell you the truth.“People are concerned about injuries this far out. If a contending team makes their one big move and that guy is not available when he needs to be, there’s concern there from those teams. I’m really not sure a lot of teams want to pull off the big trade this far out. It could happen, but it doesn’t seem to me there’s any urgency right now.”

look out, a ryan miller trade rumor with names.
note, this is from mike straw, who ive been following for several years. so, while im not putting any real stock into this (hes been writing about the sabres for several years) hes not one thats ever made something up to get hits. so while im taking this with a HUGE grain of salt, it also makes some sense
http://fansided.com/2014/01/27/buffa...miller/#!txZ3t
it has miller going to minnesota for their first, heatley, and either granlund or coyle. the first and grandlund/coyle return is fair, and heatley is just cap space.
not holding my breath, but again, this guy is not someone to make something up, so i assume it has some shred of truth to it.

Grandlund/Coyle stats are meh. Give me Koivu and a 1st. If they want us to take Heatley, we're 100% doing them a favor.
miller rumors are out of control, ATM. people are reporting (incorrectly, as far as i know) that miller is on the way to the blues.
if you have twitter, miller is everywhere right now.
I looked at it. Just a lot of aimless chatter and guessing.
98% of it is. but where theres smoke, there is fire.
theres a reason the rumors are swirling. is something imminent? hard to say, but things are getting interesting.
maybe nothing happens. maybe it happens in 4 minutes. either way, its interesting.
That would be a fantastic move by the Sabres and something you fans should hope for.OR that pick could be available to help acquire a ROR or Evander Kane
If you could trade your 1st for a guy like Evander Kane who is only 22 and a PROVEN 30 goal scorer, You would have to be a ****** to turn it down.

this echos the minnesota offer from the michael straw article.
time will tell, but this is interesting.
