So, a little fun here...

IF you had to chose between the following, which one would you take...

Bills trade-up to 5 and they get the QB of your choice between the 6 (Allen, Darnold, Mayfield, Rosen, Jackson, Rudolf). The cost is their; 2 - 1sts, 1st 2nd, 1st 3rd and 2019 2nd and 3rd.

-or-

Sabres win the Draft Lottery on Saturday.

Tell us which one and why.

Bills Come first this time the Sabres have Jack Eichel they’re already set with a franchise center the bills have not had a quarterback for decade .

And if we pick 2 or 3 We will land a franchise winger

Your boy Z has to watch his back becuase the way Wahlstrom has been playing the past month and a half he’s crept up into that discussion as 2nd best forward in this draft. If Sabres are picking 4th it’s between him and Boqvist I’d assume. Outside shot of Hughes and TK.

Thank you.

I find it odd they are doing it this way. So basically if the top 10 stay the same it will look better for Buffalo, but if they don't and you see a team or two jump and a team or two fall out of the top 5 you have to wait a half hour or so to find out the rest, that's BS. I guess the Ratings have been so bad for the Draft Lottery the NHL couldn't even get their own Draft Lotto Show, just goes to show how much the Draft Lotto SUCKS!

Anyone else find it interesting that Wahlstrom has this Sudden burst in production that coincides directly with him playing with Jack Hughes? Maybe it's not all Wahlstrom, Just a thought

I'm sure as poop not watching it. They try to make it a dramatic fun event, and then they trot out the least charismatic person (besides Bettman) - Bill Daley. I think Jon hamm and Dennis Leary are hockey fans. It wouldn't make the whole charade substantially better, but it would at least be more palatable.

He was ranked top 10 since the beginning of the year but just wasn’t talked about too much due to TK, Dahlin, Svechnikov grabbing all the media attention. Had one of the top 5 best USHL seasons in recent memory. He had 22 points in 15 games prior to Hughes getting there. Yes he did receive an uptick in production, no question. But he has the speed and perhaps the best release in this draft.

That’s good news for having 3 stud wingers and “if” we have 4 Wahlstrom will move z to us at 4 or we get Wahlstrom at 4

Win- win

who really gives a crap... you put way too much into this. you weren't going to know where the sabres are picking till the first intermission anyway in this case, all you will know is how much of an opportunity there is for them to be screwed.

I still say the goal should be to trade Ryan O’Reilly to Montreal and get their picK

Back up plan if we don’t win the lottery

Draft your winger , defenseman

I’ve heard unless Darnold, Mayfield, or Chubb are there at 5 he is moving back. Odds of any of them being there looking at mock drafts are slim to none. Elway has publicly made it known the 5th pick is available to be hand like I’ve been speculating.

So if it’s mayfield or Allen they’re going to leave us with Jake locker

Ughh

Since we are not allowed to have nice things, with an O’Reilly trade to Montreal we could walk out with Wahlstrom/TK and one of Boqvist/Hughes/Bouchard

I think Allen is going to surprise a lot of people. If I’m wrong I will totally fall on the sword. I’ve watched the Broncos draft Osweiler and Lynch, but Allen seems different from the aforementioned in the case of Tall Big-armed QB’s. Time will tell I guess

I had no intention of watching before I heard about this (I'm very superstitious), now I definitely won't. I'll check the internet or come on here later that night to find out what happened. No matter what the outcome is there won't be a shortage of people talking/B!ch!n about the outcome on this site and other hockey sites. Eklund will probably have it posted second it is over, talking about how he predicted the outcome.

Or we could walk away with dahlin with tk / Wahlstrom ( if drop)

It would be the smartest thing for the Sabres organization

I’m all for it

I'm hoping for 3rd, expecting fourth. If Edmonton picks top 3, i will rage. Other than that, I really don't care

I would understand if we had a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady to teach him The “force “
I don’t think we have the time to wait for him for two years to develop his accuracy and decision making
