Re: NHL Draft discussion thread

If Sam Reinhart is available and we trade down I'll be upset as he's the only guy in the draft I want. I'm okay with getting someone else if we can bring in a proven 40-50 point veteran forward back with another pick in the 15 pick.

I do know they are NOT in luv with any of the guys.
Still tossing around scenarios.
I know the media said they have a GUY already locked in but the truth is they are open for moving.
I know I posted a while ago but they are really trying to load up for next years draft. Not saying that's what will happen tonite but that is a possibility.
I was told that it could get exciting tonite, you may see the Sabres stick at #2 then trade 2nd round picks to get in top 5 again along with some cash...

I have no issues moving the any or all of our second rounders we have for either a proven vet or another 1st or even a combo of the two. Yet moving from #2 hurts if lose out on a top 6 forward that could step in immediatly as I feel Reinhart can. In terms of moving from 2, I'm not a fan of us getting Ekbland (since we have a pretty good D group) so if Reinhart is gone and we get an offer to move out from 2 am all for it as long as we get value for it and to me value is a top 6 forward and a pick in the top 15.

Bonino, Sbisa and 24th overall pick. Also looks like Buffalo keeping the #2 pick

Hmmm with Vancouver having pick #6 and pick #24 I wonder if Murray would move down from two to get those two 1st Rounders? As to me that's something I'd consider but only if Reinhart's gone.

Tom I think this is a very interesting spot for Murray.

The pre draft meeting last nite what I wrote was stated.
As of today they still don't know what will be done tonite!!!!!!!

Don't be surprised if someone jumps to #1

End of the day I think there is a 30% chance that the Sabres move out of #2 spot!

Darren Dreger: Doesn’t sound like the Sabres or Oilers are interested in trading the 2nd or 3rd overall draft picks.




Buffalo Sabres: Sabres GM Tim Murray said he's trying at acquire veteran help through a trade to help with their culture.




John Vogl: Sabres GM Tim Murray has talked to the agents of Steve Ott and Matt Moulson.

• Michael Traikos: Hearing that Leon Draisaitl is the top selection for a lot of teams.

Do the Sabres take Ekblad if he falls to #2?

WGR Florida keeping #1

• Nick Kypreos: The Panthers are sitting on decent offers, but would like teams to sweeten the pot for the first overall pick. One offer is believed to be from a mid-range team, possibly the Flyers?

• George Richards: Speculation, but one Philly source thinks the asking for the first overall pick is too high for the Flyers. They are still looking to move up.
