I think OTT takes whomever is left between Byfield and Stutzle and wouldn't be surprised if they go forward again at 5. DET at 4 will be interesting but I think they go Drysdale.

That would leave a pretty good forward for Buffalo at 8.

It's gonna be a interesting draft to see how it plays out, a lot of talent in the top 10.

Sanderson plays left side, so unless you are moving Dahlin to right, I don't see that working.

I love Holtz as their pick...just like Rossi a whole lot more, he can play C or W.

By the way, their are multiple Draft Piick Value Charts that suggest a 3rd or 4th round is the price to be paid to move up from 8th to 7th. Also your guess-timate of 25% for a 4th rounder playing is way overstated...it's more like 10%...which tells me that anaylis of drafts suggest there isn't a big difference in 1 draft position.

Fair enough - I like Rossi a lot too. I do think one of the top 6 forwards will fall to us at 8, as at least one d goes before us and one reach

You're out of your mind, IMO. I wouldn't take him for no return. His contract is bonkers.

I really like Holtz, but I do like Rossi better...my kind of player in that he has some nasty in him, compete is super high, smart, can skate well, and plays a good 200' game. He would be my guy at 4, let alone if he could fall close to us to make that move I referenced.
Center is a bonus as well, I think having more competition at 2C in the future can only help the Sabres...loser goes to 3C or plays wing...which Rossi and Cozens can both do.
Holtz is a winger as you know, I'd still b.v e very happy with him there too!

Don't forget about Lundell as a quality forward Center who will also be available when the Sabres pick.

If both Drysdale and Lundell are the 2 players available at 8, neither would be a bad decision.

At least one of them will be available when the Sabres pick, if not 2 if Drysdale is likely selected before the Sabres pick.

Lafreniere, Byfield, Stutzle, Raymond, Holtz, Rossi, Perfetti, Lundell

Lundell might be the safest pick in the draft, and could probably be your 3C next year.

Then you’ll be glad they signed Cam. He’s trash at this point in his career

I don't know about that, he makes it interesting. Funny BetOnLine made the Bills clear favorites to win the East earlier today.

Agreed - if Drysdale goes top 7, I still hope at least one of Holtz, Lundell and/or Hughes goes before our pick. Really like Holtz, but love Raymond, Rossi and Perfetti.

Lundell is a really good 2 way center but I see his talent as slightly below the above and I would take Hughes and Sanderson before him. With #8 I take a chance on a high ceiling guy over a guy who probably tops out as a very reliable 3C
