They’ll get one of the top 3. I get it was an independent event, but too many anomalies happened last year.

I'll take the over.
I generally agree with 3er, pretty accurate
Hope your right, when the lottery gets closer, can we narrow it down a bit more?

I figure this year guys like Barzal, Couturier, Nico, Karlsson, Point, have all passed him.

So that’s around 40-ish?

Ristolainen would probably be around 55-65, I think a high end 3.

It's a lot of players to dig through, more work than I feel like doing. My gut says Risto would be low end 2 (50-55) and RoR right around an average 2 (40-45).

I want one of the wingers. Hope they turn out and end up being a scoring dynamo so I’ll write off winning it. 2nd or 3rd.

I don’t think teams are in the playoffs because of defense. Swap the Sabres defense with Vegas, Pitt, Leafs, Peg, Jersey, Tampa, Caps or Avs and those teams are still in the playoffs if you ask me.

I wonder if the Sabres would take thacuck at 3?

I really think the mitts-brady connection was to much for jbotts to overlook.

Interesting thought on the d vs. Forwards.

I don’t know much about them other than what Gerbe spouts. I only saw Tk and Svech play in the world jrs. I didn’t get what all the hype was about regarding Svech from what I saw. Tk was awesome with Mitts, so you might be right about that being where they’ll look. It sounds like Svech and Z are the goal scorers though and I want the Sabres to get a prolific goal scorer. A 40 goal/yr player. If they can get that guy with Eichel, it could be like LaFontaine and Mogilny again. That’s what I’m hoping for.

couple of quick thoughts on risto and ror


if you move risto, you better get at least a young second pair rd and a ready winger 3rd line or better


on the ror/casey thing
there is no way in hell they are paying ror 7.5 mil to be a 3rd line center for 4 to 5 years
there is also no way they drafted casey to be a 3rd line center in year 2

so something will have to give

be it ror or casey moving to the wing or ror being traded for value coming back


if you are going to play casey as your 3rd line center, you better get him better wingers than pouliot and griffith


side note I think e-rod will be fine as our 3rd line up tempo center

I think the crazy speculation is who do you pick if you get pick 4

Tkachuk, Boqvist or Hughes

Yea it will be tough. Can add Wahlstrom and Bouchard to that mix as well. One of those 5 or the aforementioned top 3 will be Sabres property by July 1st.

Someone tell Pegula for only 500 mill, you can reset the entire roster and have a legit chance at the cup next year....whats he waiting for?

I mentioned several months ago when Seattle was id’d as the next Expansion Franchise that Pegula should trade the entire Sabres organization for Seattle.
Start over.
That is what I call blowing it up!

Good morning...
Who is 3ER thinking the Bills pick if they get into 5 or 6?

You know me, I’d sell Kim Pegula’s soul for Baker (frank)ing Mayfield.

This site just makes me drink more, trading Risto is just a joke.

You have to give to get. This team needs a trade like NJ/Edm - Hall.

You "give" your surplus and "get" your demand.

Offensively talented defensemen are not a surplus on this team, by a long shot.

Scoring wingers either on this team. Risto has how many goals?
