Two words for that team having the No. 2 pick in the 2018 NHL Draft - 'good luck'. Andrei Svechnikov extended his pt streak to 20 games last night (21g/19a); Brady Tkchuk is the definition of a 5-tool player at BU; Filip Zadina has 42g/77pts in 54 games in Halifax

Damn, it's the DalchnikChukZad Tank

Teams were leery of Dannyboy's knee...and his nose, and maybe the fact that he's (by many accounts) really just a giant douche made them hesitant to draft him.

I think that's a variety of kale, isn't it?

Jim Kelly was similar, he was a douche who partied in Miami, no first-hand knowledge of his nose in college but? Anyway, he had no problem with his knees, that may have been a deciding factor.

I don't know if we want to build a D around a small, skilled Dman but I haven't seen him play enough except in the WJC.

This will be an unpopular opinion, and Jbotts would never do it, but if the Sabres pick 1st overall, they should trade the pick down to 3rd overall, pick up Jack's winger for the next 8 years, and gain a defenseman through the trade

Just no Dahlin is going to be the Connor McDavid of the defenseman's in the NHL

We would regret it for the rest of our lives

No, I'd never do it. That D we got would never be anywhere near as good as Dahlin, the winger would be nice but would most likely never be the impact player Dahlin will be. JBotts would be digging his own grave.

It's more of a Murray idea

Aren’t half the excuses for our offense that our D doesn’t get the puck to them?

cgy, huh?...very interesting

Wouldn’t that go to the islanders?

Eichel wouldn't regret it
- jcragcrumple

We would

And it really doesn’t matter we will be drafting a wing anyways
