I'm kinda wondering if this organization is so set on McDavid that they would flip-flop picks with Buffalo throwing in players. I highly doubt it happens but u never know.

It's not just the GM. You have to have scouts with a keen eye.

Sounds like the Cleveland Cavs. Draft Lotteries are a joke.

I'm happy with Eichel since that's who I knew we would get.

I agree. I knew we weren't getting number 1. The draft lottery is stupid. I agree with Murray worst picks first.

Really Edmonton of all teams. A team that has mis-managed team in the league. This looks like the Cavs with all those lottery wins.

Exactly. He would help hockey out west.

No to Dallas. I said this before and will keep saying it. If we lose the lottery I would much rather him go to Arizona. He would help that market and give those fans a great player. Plus they need a player like that there to sell tickets. Hope it doesn't happen but if he has to go to another team that's where I would rather see him go!

Me too. I just believe the worst teams should get the top picks. Not teams on the playoff bubble or a Stanley Cup winning team that had a ton of injuries to key people and a defenseman that couldn't control himself from hitting his woman. How is that fair to teams in total rebuild mode?

I know and it's not fair that way. Organizations going thru major rebuilds shouldnt be punished because they are going a different direction. The players and coaches aren't throwing games on purpose. Think about this why did Darcy start the whole rebuild process to begin with. Unfortunately this is what happens when your so called core group isn't good enough to compete for the cup. They had their chance and didn't get it done and they were on the down swing. So they(the organization) decided to let him tear it down and start over. Most teams don't do a total rebuild. So u should be punished for the team supposedly tanking. If the league found out that the teams were throwing games or suspected more than that behind the scenes the team would be punished.

I'm sorry but McDavid should be with Buffalo and Eichel to Arizona. Two worst teams get the two best players just like the NFL Draft. Im sick of this lottery crap. Putting the fans thru bad seasons is punishment enough. Yes GM's can trade and move players up and down but the players and coaches aren't throwing games on purpose. These last two seasons have been far the worst I can remember. I was totally not motivated to watch this team. I not a fan of this draft lottery at all. NFL doesn't use it and it's the best league of all the major sports. I would be pissed if team 10-14 got McDavid. Defeats the whole purpose of the worst team getting the best player. Like I said in a previous posts maybe in the 80's the teams threw games but not in the present day. Players are playing hard and coaches are coaching to keep their job. Most of the tank talk is about an organization doing a major rebuild up and down the roster, coaches, GM's and scouts. Putting the fans thru that is hard enough but what could possibly make it worse is a team that just barely missed the playoffs by getting the best player. To me that's not fair.

I feel bad at what happened with Nolan. He was setup to fail by given to work with. Plus the front office didn't want to be better standing wise. I think his being fired because some of the younger core didn't make bigger strides and then Cody got actually worse.

What if he decides he wants to stay before the draft and we pick second. Does Murray change who he picks? He's been scouting this Erie-London series and u also have Strome and Marner. I hope that doesn't happen but hey u never know. I still want McDavid.

I like Eichel but would still rather have McDavid. But I'm not gonna be upset if we get Eichel.

Very shaky in pressure games. I'm guessing Murray passes.

O'Connor can't handle the pressure. Couple of bad goals thru this tournament. I highly doubt he's gonna be signed by us.

Both will be in the league next year unless Eichel stays in school another year. I'm excited for getting either one. I think people under estimate Eichel's talent because he in college.

I still believe this is why LaFontaine left. I think the whole organization bought into this idea about tearing it all down and that he wanted to keep Miller and Ott and was not a board on this finishing last routine. We will never know but that's my guess. But in all honesty I'm glad it's over. These were a tough two years to watch. But right now I'm excited to see the lineup for next year.

Your telling me. I still think we get Eichel when this lotto is over. But I'm good with that. Eichel is pretty darn good. You don't win the hobey baker award as a freshman if your not a dominate player. Either way it's a win win for us. I still think McDavid ends up in Arizona.

Mission complete. Jack Eichel at least. Thank u Sabres

No not stupid just pissed because we will end up with Strome at 3 and he won't be better then his brother on the Islanders.

We out all diehard fans here or we wouldn't be caring or posting. But what this team is doing this last handful of games just takes the cake. We have a chance to draft a franchise player and they are blowing it on meaningless games.

?uck this team. I guess it will be Strome at 3 and another year of watching this. I think that game where the fans cheered for the coyotes actually motivated the coaches and this $hit squad. I'm so done with this team.

I have been saying that for over a year now. McDavid would put Arizona on the hockey map and fans will fill the seats. Hate to say it but it would be good for the growth of hockey out west.

I hear you. No McDavid and No Eichel which means you have Strome or Marner which won't step in next year. Another year of this $hit could happen. This team is bad enough last thing I want to do is watch another year of this crap. At least Eichel or McDavid would bring excitement to watching this team.
