Michael Pachla: 2020 NHL Mock Draft picks 1-3

Nice Pach's, after pick 3 it starts getting interesting, who do the Wings take, it is said they like Rossi. Be interesting to see what Stevie Y does.

Yzerman will right the ship in Motown.

Within 2 - 3 years, they will be loaded with young talent.

Well if the Sabres get it right, so should they.

With the pegulas. That’s not happening either. They are almost worse than the sens owner

Sabres should already be loaded with talent

there hasn't been a goalie drafted top-5 since price in 2005...the highest since then is 11th overall, twice

Sabres should already be loaded with talent

Well they do have some nice talent, it's rounding out the team around that talent.

simply drafting sergachev instead of bustlander would have been huge for this franchise

I posted a list once, half the goalies taken in the first rd was a bust in the last 20 years

I thought Perfetti was all but a lock to Detroit?

Yeah so did I, but there are reports out there that they have met with Rossi 3 or 4 times.

Most likely wouldn’t have gotten Dahlin though right?

8. Buffalo Sabres--D, Mikhail Sergachev. Buffalo was ready to select Jacob Chychrun until sources revealed he hurt his shoulder giving Terry Pegula a high-five at a family cookout in Florida. You could feel the weight of the moment as Chychrun's double cheeseburger went flying into Kim Pegula's Strawberry Daquiri. The incident threw everyone off guard causing Murray's brain to cramp and he ends up doing the unthinkable by drafting the Russian defenseman who inexplicably dropped to them. There's no truth to the rumor that former head scout Kevin Devine had Murray in a headlock until the blue faced GM capitulated by shouting out Sergachev's name instead of "uncle" at the same gathering.

Is that what we're calling it now?

Oh, my.

I have heard Perfetti, Rossi, Drysdale....and all that assuming the top 3 go as expected, which is about a 50/50 proposition. And then there is GM Stevie Y, who did the unexpected last year. We really won't know until it happens. Everything we have heard so far may be a smoke screen. I read somewhere that, if the Wing's didn't take Seider last year, the Sabres would have. Have any of you Sabres fans heard the same thing ?

Most likely wouldn’t have gotten Dahlin though right?
- SDSabre

possibly...he was a rookie in 17-18 and the sabres finished last in the league by five points...would he have made that much of a difference?...maybe, but there were names like svechnikov, tkachuk, and hughes that followed dahlin
