There was always a chance we weren't going to get him

@MichaelTraikos
I keep hearing that Draisaitl is the top choice for a lot of teams. I wonder if he supplants Ekblad, Bennett, Reinhart and goes No. 1.
- Sabresfan-365

IMO he's our pick. I honestly think he's the best prospect. I spent about an hour watching him and Reinhart......Draisaitl is just a better talent

Didn't you like Bennett as well though?

Ekh got so sick of it, used to consume it like crazy during my freshman/sophomore year

- Sabresfan-365

Yea I like him the same amount I like Reinhart. I have said many times I'll be happy with any of the 3 forwards. IMO Draisaitl and Bennett could be game changers or busts, and Reinhart looks like a future good 2C like David Krecji.

IMO Draisaitl could be an absolute star though. He's a mammoth and has ridiculous hands

There are some places that I shouldn't eat at but still do, but no matter what Pizza Hut will always get me sick.

T Minus 5:43 minutes to go time

Kopitar esque?

Call me cowardly but I prefer them to stay safe with this pick, I'd be happy with a Krejci for this draft (and then another centre in 2015).

some one sing me soft kitty!!! i'm sad

I'd be ok with Reinhart too, but IMO there' s no 2015 guarantee and IMO they could move back into the first for a "safe" player then. I'd be happy with Draisaitl I think the most, plus he's got the size and skill I think Murray is going for (Fasching)

I would just like TM to be able to take his guy that's all.
- Stripes77

He'll say he did, but we all know whoever those (frank)ing scumbag vultures take will probably be his guy.

I have been a Sabres fan since 71, and even older than you. I am willing to show patience and have things done right here for once. Sorry you are impatient and do not want the long term success of the franchise . Rather a rush to 9th and 10 more years of mediocrity . How do you know how Murray feels about Myers . Everything I have heard from has been positive. You don't haver to draft a player to like him . I am sure there lots of players out there that Murray covets that he did not draft .
I would rather have a meal that is cooked right rather than one you throw in the microwave for instant gratification . But that is just me.

For once things are being thought out and done right here . And the long suffering fans do not want to wait for the long term success it could bring.

Max,
Let us just try to enjoy today. We all want what's best for this team.

I feel a bigger trade than expected coming!

If there's any local news footage of the draft party at the arena, look for me.

I'll be the fat guy with a Sabres hat.

Draisatil isn't a perfect prospect, mind you.

Like Reinhart, Draisatil lacks elite speed. I'm not so sure that he's as smooth of a skater as Sam either.


We've already seen that sorta thing with slow down Grigorenko early on. Neon Leon's game might be on a similar learning curve.

That's basically camouflage for that area of WNY.

There's no doubt that should the Sabres take Draisaitl, they are going to have to start him on the wing.

Reinhart would probably benefit from that as well, but he's a better overall skater which makes him more suited for the role to start.
