It’s not anymore it’s a early 3rd which is basically a 2nd

So it's a 3rd?

So today we are moving Scandella, you people need a better hobby.

Gerbe Fantasy Island. Where 3rds are 2nds, 2nds are 1sts, and a top 10 pick is basically 2nd overall

Did you know that all draft picks retire eventually and then aren't worth squat and the Sabres totally wasted the pick on a guy who's just going to retire some day?

So it's a 3rd?
- TheSabresTaco

Nope.
2nds are 3rds,
3rds are 2nds
Never draft a Dman in the 1st
All 3rds pan out as top 6/top 4 and therefore create playoff teams.

So basically when we move Scandella for a 2nd that will be a wash since we gave up a second for him

Basically we got nothing Out of the deal

Good trade ..

Let me go play with free air

Scandella helped us finish last.
That should count for something, you know, the whole dahlin guy.

So did Eichel. We should burn them all.

Roenick on WGR had a great summary which could apply equally as well to Several Sabres...
“They don’t put in the hard work or committed themselves to the hard work and believe their talent will be enough to win in the NHL”.
Homerun

So is a late 2nd basically a 3rd? Mind blowing waiting for an answer o mighty one..

I hate that guy. He's right, but he's still a tool. Who was he referring to? Buffalo?

We gave up a 3rd but we’re last in the league therefore it’s basically a second round pick
- gerbe75pts

Scandella is the best use of a third round pick since...

Sekera or MacArthur, I think.

This is really a non issue. They used a pick to get a good player.

All 3rds are Brad Guentzals. All of them.

Interesting that in the list Homie supplied of 2000-2013 3rd rounders by the Sabres they had 3 players who beat the odds of 4th liner/bottom pairing players.
3 of 13 = about 22.5% when the hit rate is expected to be about 8.5% ... yet, the perception is their scouting staff can’t hit.

I would say the Sabres lack of success at the top of their drafts is the real reason, rather not hitting on a couple support players.

Let's play which one of these 3rd rounders from 2013 is a real person

JC Lipon
Jonathan Ishmail-Diaby
Yan-Pavel LaPlante (First pick of the third round, "basically a second rounder")
Tyrell Goulbourne
Bogdan Yakimov

That is true ..

And Scandella is not that great I would trade him in a package to move up in the draft and sign a upgrade in UFA

Well played by all. On a serious note, I firmly believe Kane is gone precisely because of the culture shift.
