They haven't even released tickets to sell yet.

Most will go to season ticket holders.

EVERYONE JUST CALM DOWN!

and 80% of those tickets will be sold to Leaf fans ........... It's gonna be a Leaf Fest for sure.

That's true ................ who from Buffalo will want to file in amongst a throng of Leaf fans and watch them celebrate picking Mathews ?

You're better than this too ..don't go into the darkness

THEY ARE ALWAYS RELEVANT. THEY MAKE THE NHL A TON OF MONEY AS IT IS.

(frank)!

b/c no large corporation has ever subscribed to the concept of "some is good, more is better"

No they won't

I don't even want to go to the (frank)ing draft anymore... Seeing 5,000 blue wig wearing fudge packers storm into my hometown arena in the one year we actually get the (frank)ing draft in Buffalo is just too un(frank)ing real. Bettman and Daily are still in euphoric shock from the great blow job Shannafag just gave them. Un(frank)ing real
- bluengold12

I didn't even think about this...(frank) man I was really looking forward to going now I'll probably just stay home.

Sabres finished last 2 years in a row and can't get the 1st pick, the league sure takes care of the Leafs.

The world is ending

Matthews doesn't seem happy...
- Orphen22

Yeah, when you come out and say "mixed emotions" you really mean "Goddamnit, WTF! (frank) Toronto! And the horse they rode in on!"

No they won't

Agreed.

Murray has already said that he will not trade the pick because the draft is in Buffalo and that fans deserve it. I don't agree with his thinking, at all, but whatever.

I think he works on a big trade to be made that day.

Time to drink ............. Mai-Tai's on me.
- fastek

Do you have a pool or a pond?

Bettman hates Buffalo.....idk about last year's draft...

But the NHL was sure as (frank) going to make sure Matthews ended up in Toronto. They want that money.
- feetontheair22

That makes no sense. They'd want McDavid in Toronto way before they'd want Matthews there.

Eichel vs. Matthews will be a lot of fun.

People are pissed so they're rationalizing...it's a lottery. really no point dwelling on it.

When did he say that?
- Sabresfan-365

I don't remember a date. On WGR probably.

He definitely said it because I hate when people talk about how because the draft is in Buffalo should be a factor in using the pick instead of trading it.

When he said it, I got pissed.

If Pegula doesn't limited 95% of tickets to draft prospects and their families and those with Erie/Niagara county residencies he deserves to be publicly shamed. It will be a PR disaster when all those Leafs morons roam into our arena and make the place there's like a (frank)ing home game... I don't think I can take it. I don't care what anyone says I wold take Edmonton winning 10/10 over the (frank)ing Leafs.
Wouldn't be shocked if when we pick at 8 and overwhelming go leafs go chant bursts out

The world is ending

Not exactly what he said. You're making a big leap. Yes, he said it's good for the fans to pick. But nowhere did he say he wasn't trading the pick.

Sabres finished last 2 years in a row and can't get the 1st pick, the league sure takes care of the Leafs.
- SABRES 89

Toronto had a 20% chance, we had a 6% chance.

OK, I stand corrected.

Literally could care less who won as long as it wasn't the laughs or the oilers

hell even if the Bruins got the number 1 pick i would be less angry...and i (frank)ing HATE the bruins

Maybe in your world..
- mhp

Hey! Look who's back! Where have you been?

OK, I stand corrected.
- rmiethaner

I think he makes the pick, but if he gets a good deal he'll trade it. Just like any other pick. If it's an O'Reilly level trade(Or bigger) it's arguably bigger and better than picking 8th.

8 is better than 9.

This is a good post
