"Zadorov’s a talented player but sometimes he tries to force a play when it’s best to keep it simple and make the high percentage play."

who does that sound like?
- navinrjohnson

'Larry Robinson"

A trade MUST be coming. That's the only reason I could think of why they would draft 2 defenseman.

i take it u guys wanted Shinkaruk?
- Jurco_28

Maybe...

we have a jerry jones as an owner.

Sens got Patrice Bergeron

Shinkaruk falling...

Came over here figuring you guys would be happy with these picks but I guess I was wrong. I think it's a positive change to build from the back line. Myers is still young and D take time to develop sometimes. Now you add two other guys with high upside. This is how championship teams come to fruition. No matter who you were to take it would take time but this is a great beginning in my opinion.

Not everybody is mad. For me, with a team that is this far away, you pick BPA all the way. I love it. Load up. If the top guy at 38 is a D, do it again. Can't have enough good dmen.

WHAT?!

big, stay at home defensemen was a huge need for the Sabres, both guys are big hitters too

If we trade Myers for offense we do
- GilPerreault11

Darcy not trading Myers. He cant barely make a trade. This is the funniest draft ever. I thought the goal was the cup did not realize we were going for it in 2020.
Its even funnier because the sabres raised my season ticket prices

if the plan is to compete for a cup in 4 or 5 years, they are great picks


if that is the case, no reason whatsoever to hold on to vanek and miller now
- navinrjohnson

Wasn't that the plan all along?

Not a bad trade for the Wings

Maybe...
- twistedwrister9

and detroit isnt getting him

wow

pick 18 for pick 20 and 58


sharks must really like who they are going to pick

they wont be here for years

Armia
Girgensons
Ennis moved back to wing
Maybe keep Vanek?

And I bet there's gonna be some talent in the top3 next year,
Which is where I think we pick
- jdfitz77

bAsed on drafting players who will not help our team this year at all you could be right.

they wont be here for years
- hafgod

They expect Ristolainan to step in next year.

Shinkaruk falling...
- toddkac

He wont fall far enough, we need to hope for Erne probably

Looks like were aiming for the 1st overall pick in next years draft




Oh look, the 1st pick is going to be another d man in Ekblad. Great.

Wasn't that the plan all along?
- Putzfrau

it must be

I have heard darcy change direction so many times over the years I am not sure what their current path is anymore

They didn't take BPA at #8.

wow

pick 18 for pick 20 and 58

- navinrjohnson

Most teams when u find a guy u want u go get him. Like the tyler kennedy move 2.
A kid with heart.

Zadorov pick would have been even better with Nichushkin at #8... would have been perfect 1st round if that would have happened. Maybe Dallas will trade Nichushkin to Buffalo for Ristolainen post-draft?
