If we got Jiricek and Bichsel, and Johnson got his head out of his A$$ and signed. Joker becomes a nice chip

doubt we use 2 first rd picks on d men

Chances they use all their picks? If so, then I think you can use one on a project goalie.
- Powerslave

In the picture, there's only 8 picks. Can take a later flyer with one of our elevnty billion 6th and 7th rounders.

2 years and then he walks, right?

the plan would be to become a good team so he re-signs.

how is this different from what tim murray did?

4 picks in top 41 this year and 3 in top 50 next year seems to be the smart play, given recent events

so we trade for bishop to get to the cap floor but we are also trading for DeBrincat to play for us for 2 years


got it

Agreed, think everyone knows I like Jiricek. That's why it won't happen.
- Buff36

As stated from that prospect comparison article, there's a big drop from Jiri and Nemec to the next set of defenders. I would be astounded if Jiri or Nemec made it to 9. Their value is way too high to drop that far. imo.

better chance a monkey flies out of your taco butt
- homiedclown

it's ice cream, and how do you figure? Have the Sabres never been successful in extending guys they've traded for, like Ryan O'Reilly, Jeff Skinner, Peyton Krebs (eventually), Henri Jokiharju, Tage Thompson, Christian Ehrhoff..

Agreed

I'm getting a pizza, the blender and some greenery, sitting in the hot tub and watching the whole gd draft and after the spring I've had, I couldn't be more excited about it.

And it's anything but predictable. Way more fun than waiting for the Power call, and then being done for the night.

This team is better with a top 20 goalie, top 4 D and DeBrincat, like a lot better.

Could be really fun, could be a lot of teams moving around picks and players

Oh my Lekker and Nazar... Miro has to be taken at 28 if hes still there... which I doubt now that hes been cleared a bit

If it were those 2 I wouldn't mind at all.

we can't sign our draft picks, despite being a bad team where they can get ice time sooner rather then later

get bishop to get to the floor


and gonna get DeBrincat to sign an extension here

This year is truly exciting.. Actually have a reason to watch all 36 hours of the first round

I'd only use a first rd pick on a LD if I thought Dahlin was walking in a few years
