If I'm Buffalo I use 2 of the first rounders on offense and 1 on a defenseman in the first round in the 2015 draft. I still think at the deadline Stafford and/or Stewart get moved. It's going to be interesting how this season plays out.

Now the dream scenario would be landing McDavid next year in the NHL draft and the Bills expanding the scouting department and get better at picking solid talent but most importantly keeping the players they draft in Buffalo that turn out to be solid players stay in Buffalo.

But do these owners own 2 teams in the same city. And I'm not talking one major one minor. I'm talking two professional teams.

I can't wait for Friday I have been waiting for the Sabres to start back up. This should be one interesting season. I still want them to finish at the bottom this one last time. And that will and hopefully be the last time they ever finish last. I just like the fact they could get McDavid or Eichel. At least finishing last getting you Eichel. Win Win in my mind. Then with the Islanders pick going to be routing against the Islanders all season even though I think they are going to be much better than people think. The only question I have with them is defense. It's going to be interesting.

They could put together some solid ticket plans for both clubs. I can't even think of one owner owning two major league teams in one city.

Wow I'm glad the Pegula's will be owning the Bills. I believe they have the Sabres in the right and capable hands with Murray and company. And believe they will get their with the Bills as well. I still hope they expand the scouting staff for the Bills and do whatever they can to make this team a legimate contender year in and year out instead of being the laughing stock or farm team for the rest of the NFL. The first thing they have to do is stop letting the players they draft walk after they become solid players. That revolving door is part of the reason why they haven't done $hit in all these years plus the QB situation. As an owner I never understood why wouldn't you want to put a solid team together and then do your best to keep the cupboards filled with solid talent like the Red Wings and the Patriots do. Yes you have to sometimes tear it down and start all over but it's a small scarifice for a few seasons in order to be good for a long time. Now McDavid or Eichel would be the dream scenario! Are they the only owners who own two professional teams in one city?

Like I said before in a previous post hire a garbage head coach get garbage results. Prepare for another losing season folks. What makes you think this thing is going to turn around now after they were brutal in the preseason. EJ is a bust in my opinion because they reached on him. Orton will be the starter quicker than you think.

Yeah we get it but the goal of this tank was landing top picks in consecutive drafts not just one!

I would much rather them send Reinhart back to junior and work on getting stronger. You all see what Stevie Y did with his top pick last year Drioun. Sent him back to junior and that kid was damn good but I think he is going to be one of the top rookies to watch this year. Has the speed, moves and passing ability. No need to rush Reinhart. Next year I'm all for this kid earning a spot. We came this far on the tank now why abandon it in what appears to be a deep draft.

It's better to come in last this year because I just don't see this team being a contender. In a deep draft like this one you could really position yourself to be a great team for years to come if you land one of the big two and then hit on your other two firsts. I would much rather have 1 top five rather than 6-12 because this team wants to play better. Goal is the Cup isn't it. I'm worried they beefed up the defense in front of whoever is the number 1 goalie. I think Enroth is going to be that guy and will be a lot better than people thought he would be. He has been waiting for this chance for how many years now?

Problem with Buffalo is they draft players and if they become something special then they don't want to pay them. Farm team for the rest of the league. Then the scouts they have must be mediocre because they reach for so many players that don't make it. Whoever buys the bills needs to clean management out and start fresh. Hire garbage get garbage results and that's what the bills have in the last 20 years!

I agree I think Cleveland is going to have a top 5-10 pick maybe better if they look like the do in preseason. Here I'm just gonna say it I think EJ's a bust and instead of addressing a solid backup in the draft they failed to do so. Until new ownership comes in it's just another year the Bills don't make the playoffs. I'm hoping for Pegula to buy the team to start cleaning house and to hire way more scouts because they seem to miss more than they hit on these picks. To me the Bills are the farm team for the rest of the league. Their a joke!

I live in Las Vegas being a Buffalo transplant. I think it's not gonna work here. Yeah they sell out during the preseason games due to tons of Kings fans making the drive. U have heard Movie producer Jerry Brukheimer being a driving force but I think it's plain stupid to expand here. We can only draw 4-7 thousand people at minor league hockey what makes them think we are gonna draw 15-16 thousand. It will be another Coyotes squad. Dumb absolutely dumb!!!!

This Bills squad sucks big time. Not a fan of EJ. Looks like another bust. Hope who ever buys this team cleans house in the front office. This team could have addressed the QB spot in the draft and they pick no one. They will be lucky if they get 4-6 wins. He sucks! Plus looks like Marrone will be gone by the end of the season .

Garth overhypes every Sabres player. I like his passion but I don't think he's that great of a writer.

I think I would put an offer on him and most likely he could stick.

Just throwing this out there because it's looking like he is going to test the open market. Any team that signs him gives up a second. Not bad for a former first rounder 6'2 " right winger who can score. Do u believe Murray will make a play for him? What our your thoughts?

We made it this far with the rebuild what's one more year of the tank when their are two guys at the top who are franchise changing quality. Who gives two shits about making the playoffs if your not serious cup contenders. We have been down this road for almost this franchises whole existence. Make the playoffs and get knocked out early or be a so so team and miss the playoffs and draft in the teens. No thanks let's complete the tank please.

I'm just wondering if Tavares is healthy yet or still rehabbing? I still think the Islanders will be better than people think and we won't be picking in the top ten with their pick. I agree I would use 2 firsts on offense and another on a defenseman.

I just hope we can land McDavid or Eichel!

That's hitting the nail right on the head. We all know we want McDavid and it would be Buffalo's luck that he lands in Arizona with Darcy.

I'm going out and saying it right now and god I hope I'm wrong on this. But Darcy started this whole tear down job to land top picks and now that he was canned and ended up in Arizona don't be surprised if somehow Arizona lands McDavid. I think the league would like that. It gives them a player that team and fans can finally get excited about and probably sells more tickets in the desert. Plus u look at their team this year and they don't have much scoring up front at all.

I'm still thinking Stewart and Stafford get moved at some point this upcoming year. Plus I have this strange feeling McDavid ends up in Arizona. Darcy Karma. He started it all and somehow I think they land him. A struggling franchise has a player to build around.

I'm guessing that why not keep all the kids in Rochester for one more year. Let them dominate at the AHL level while we hope to complete the tank.

Sounds like most of the kids will be playing in Rochester. I'm all for that.
