I'm both happy with and slightly disgusted by the amount of Triumph motorcycles there are lining the streets of Brooklyn on an average August morning - BeadyEyedDouche
The Sabres are likely to have 7 of their own first round picks on the 23-man roster
The group is made up of 1 player from every year between 2012-2018 on the ice, with Grigorenko and Zadorov as the only chosen players not present (sorry Colin White)
Each of the past 3 Sabre GMs has at least two of these picks on the active roster
I count 1 sabres 2nd round player McCabe
There is 1 player chosen by the Sabres beyond round 2 on the roster: Ullmark
He was chosen 2 GMs ago
There are 2 college FAs on the team: Nelson and ERod
If I had to describe what this means overall in terms of drafting, our later-round drafting has really sucked for a long time.

The hockey gods pulled the rug out from Ottawa for fleecing the Sabres on that Lehner trade. That's the only logical reason why they suck now and got so little in return for their players.

There might be something to that. See: Gaustad for a first

Look, Lehner was a mistake. I have admitted that.
But Colin White is still NOT the way to prove that.
