We didn't really need a goalie of the future.. We need a goalie of the now. The guy wasn't even at the draft.. That tells me he didn't expect to go early

I (frank)ing hate it.

The player drafted immediately after the Sabres pick is a talented, big RHD that could really help them.

In their last 15 picks the Sabres have selected two Defensman one of them being Owen power.

This is Tim Murray but the other way.

Back to forton and devine for this pick, hopefully the 3rd rounder is a good one.

Perevalov or Brennan are best available... Just saying.

Heres hoping for the Perv

Oops there he goes...

sabres drafted the goalie they wanted, not just draft a goalie

I am fine with it

Another G going later in the round makes it feel a bit better.

Colin Hunter - Dobber Prospects - June 18th: "He has the size and most of the technical ability to succeed professionally. Spending most of his year in Finland’s U20 league, he posted a .916 save percentage, good for third among U18 goaltenders. Leinonen plays a very strong positional game, adjusting to the play seamlessly."

he's 233lbs... He'll have to cut that down a bit you would think, get a little more lean

What makes you think this in any way says we are not going to get a short term goalie? On what planet does drafting a goalie ever spell we are done, search is over?

They need to get rid of those 2 ASAP.

Look at Carolina's two picks today.

sabres made sure they got what they felt was the best goalie in this draft

Their reasoning is understood.

Still a bad pick with all the other quality players that were available there.

Wow.

No everything is Tim Murray.

People don't realize we have 4 of 6 D that are probably here long term...

Defense is the least of our problems.
