I believe it is 2 1st round picks, 2 seconds, no third and one each in 4 - 7. Although 7 was a conditional part of a trade so the Sabres may not have that any longer.

So I think it is 7 in all. Maybe 8.

Thanks!

So many trades that it's gotten hard to keep track of!

OK, this is sick...in my game the Lightning won the Stanley Cup. They ALSO just won the draft lottery due to a pick they had from Philadelphia....

Holy shite...

Still the same...

I don't care about losing the lottery - just like real life Buffalo won't win it - but to have the Stanley Cup champs win it?!?!?? Yikes

And this is "old-school" lottery too (must still be code from their 2007 version of the game) where a team can only move up 4 spots.

Does it actually include the pool of players eligible for this year's draft? I might have to give this sim a shot.

Yes, but not by default - you can download roster files from people who make them up themselves. The game is just like any non-licensed sports game and comes with randomly named players.

Nice headline Yahoo - Alex Rodriguez received a "warm hand" from the home crowd

67% of Vegas odds on this game are taking Buffalo +1.5 and majority are taking over 5.0. They were dead on for the TO game.

He did skate today
Prob a 50/50 chance he plays

I think Grigorenko & Hodgson have both been playing well
It would still surprise me if Hodgson get moved, just bc his value had to be so low right now.
But I do think there will be teams out there interested in Grigorenko
I could see him moved for a young goalie

I could see us winning
I'm hoping we just lose though so we can all breathe a sigh of relief, stop fighting amongst each other, and get back to being focussed on the bright future the Sabres have

It will be interesting, but I think Carolina has the edge on us like they did earlier this year.

They always seem to beat us at the opportune time. Hope they consider this one of them.

The Canes will outshoot us, prob by about 10-12
But will Lindback have a really good game & keep us in it? Will Ward let in some softies?
Tough to project how this game will play out

Sabres have been doing good in the shot dept the past couple games. Gerbe with a hattie would be Cherry on top of Candy
