According to my source, you are Tim Murray

I heard that too !!!

Then you take Ekblad.

I'm fine with that, but I don't get the posts in the past (not saying from you) where people say to then trade Myers.

we could give the islanders weber and mcbain and they can keep the fifth overall, on the condition that they play them as their top line, including the power play.

LeBron to the Sabres - E5

Think Carmello joins him?

you take Ekblad and you have the opportunity to next season trade one of those d prospects for another 1st or for a bonafide NHL center
- IndianaSabresFan

Even though TM says he'll draft him, I smell smokescreen. TM will most likely dangle that pick if Ekblad is available when we pick. No way he doesn't at least attempt to trade it.

They say Colorado is kicking the tires on Phaneuf, wonder if they'd like Ehrhoff?


Draft Ekblad and then swing a trade for Ryan O'Riley?

Imma take my talents to Anchor Bar.

Yep, it's a league of we aren't good enough to do this the old fashion way so lets join forces.

- IceColdBeer

he could do that. but the price has to be right.. if we can drop back a few spots and still get leon or bennett that would be successful, but not likely

If Vancouver takes Reinhart, then we HAVE to take Ekblad. TM said we are taking BPA, so my guess is he will be the pick in this scenario.

Not gritty enough, only had 2 PIMs last season..........

The way I see it, we upgraded our D core by taking what looks to be a NHL 4-5-6 in McNabb and replacing him with a NHL 1-2-3 defenseman. That leaves us with the ability to trade. What. Ruhwedel?

Myers (Meyers), Risto, Zadorov, McCabe, Pysyk, Ekblad, Ehrhoff, Weber, Ruhwedel. The defensive depth cliff dives after those names. I suppose you have room to trade Ruhwedel. What are you going to get? Sure as poop not a first or a top center.

Why would a cap strapped team want phaneufs contract? RoR is a good player but not worth #2 overall.

- TheSabresTaco

you keep ruhwedel for your 7th spot and trade one of ehrhoff, pysyk, mccabe or zads imo

he could do that. but the price has to be right.. if we can drop back a few spots and still get leon or bennett that would be successful, but not likely
- IndianaSabresFan

True, I just think he'll be much more likely to try and trade the pick if Ekblad is still available. Remember, the drop off in talent/potential between Ekblad and the next defenseman is substantial, while the drop off between the next few forwards isn't as extreme. I'm sure teams in need of Def realize that.

Then you take Ekblad.
- dadeadhead

idk, imo, it would be nice if a team moves up and doesnt take the number 1 prospect in the draft, and we get "stuck" with ekblad.

Reinsdorf bought the Bulls for 15 mil in 1985. If a team that has won nothing in its history just sold for 2 billion, the Bulls gotta be worth at least 3-4 billion right?

Neither are centers, so the Sabres are the perfect place since this team can never get good ones.

- Mentalorgasm5

yeah that would suck... but does that end up making us the opposite of the Oilers?
