I would be up for that St Louis deal if it's Ty Rattie as the prospect.

Yeah this. Part of me wants Miller traded and then the other half is saying what could we get for him. A top prospect and a first would be great but the first is going to be real late . It's going to be interesting to see what Murray has in store. I notice Miller plays great in Olympic years so he upped his trade value at least!

If Vanek leaves it will be hard for them to fill his spot unless Moulson goes back to the Island.

I agree if this team has sunken this low why not suck one more year for a chance at two franchise players!

Thornton and Marleau aren't leaving San Jose. I highly doubt Alfredsson comes to Buffalo. Jagr will go to the highest bidder.

You want a franchise player for the future we need to be at the bottom 3 next season. No need to rush the kids. Plus with the new management style of letting the kids develop into men and giving them time I think it's a good chance we finish at the bottom. If any team can't afford another bad season it's Edmonton. We are bad this year but they have been bad for how many years now. They need to make an effort now to get better. We still are in stage one. There are no unrestricted free agents upcoming this year except Vanek that are going to help the offense. It's a strong possibility that we are in the McDavid sweepstakes!

My personal opinion is that since the new management coming in these players getting drafted in the first round are going back to their respected league before they are on the roster full time. I don't care if we have 2 top five picks this year. Last years draft was regarded as one of the best since 2003. Have u guys listened to Nolan talk about the kids they need more time and that's what's going to happen. They are not going to rush these players like Edmonton is doing. Look how well that's going for them. Not saying Hall and Nugent-Hopkins are bad but that team has been bad for awhile now. Look at Darnell Nurse they are not rushing him like they did with other top picks. They have new management as well. You can Think what u want but whoever they draft this year might get a sampling of games and that's it. This team won't be much better next year so rushing picks is foolish. Just look at the Grigo situation.

If all of Buffalo's 1st from this years draft are not in the lineup full time this year what makes u think that there pick from this year will be in next years lineup? Do u see the new management style happening here?

Both will be in juniors I guarantee it!

Reinhart was solid.

I highly doubt that!

What u forget that draft was suppose to be one of the better ones since the 2003 drafts. Whoever this team drafts this year will be going thru development under this new management. They are not going to use the Regier and Edmonton style to develop these players! That's why I said it's going to be 3-5 years before we see playoffs. With fewer high end talent hitting unrestricted free agency the years of a quick turn around isn't going to happen.

I totally agree but still think whoever they draft in 2015 still won't be ready for full time nhl ice. U should say we definetly need goal scorers and top 6 players! U should say we definetly need goal scorers and top 6 players! U should say we definetly need goal scorers and top 6 players!

Well there isn't any good ones in 2014 unless u want Vanek back.

It would speed up the rebuild but I still believe whoever is taken in the draft this year or next is still at least a couple of years before touching nhl ice on a regular basis. That's why I think it's going to be 3-5 years before we are playoff bound

I still see the Sabres being 3-5 years before they make the playoffs. No matter who they draft this year and in 2015 they won't be ready to step in right away. Besides Armia they don't have anyone that is a pure goal scorer in the system. It's going to take awhile to clean up this mess. None of these kids they draft in 2014 are going to step into the nhl. Plus with the change of management into developing these kids and with Nolan behind the bench no matter who they draft they will be right back in junior the next year. There are no great unrestricted free agents this year unless you want Vanek back. This is going to take some time.

It's funny but I thought those same 4 players stood out to me as well. Both Scherbak and Goldobin stood out to me because they can skate and have skill. Reinhart has a great all around game. I was also impressed by Ekblad he seems like a big defenseman that took control at times. Lemieux seem okay as well. I was mainly looking at skating and there skill set. Let's face it skating is huge at the next levels. I still see the Sabres being 3-5 years before they make the playoffs. No matter who they draft this year and in 2015 they won't be ready to step in right away.

As much as people hate Stafford, Grigs game isn't even close to Stafford. I'm all for Grigs going down he needs to work on his skating and work on his game more. Not smart for a kid to challenge a new GM with a proven guy that has been around a long time in Patrick and a player that is a hall of famer.

I don't want him either. Yeah I'm sure Grigs feels he is better than the bottom six guys on this current squad but he isn't seeing the whole picture. They don't want him to be a bottom six player. If Drouin can play juniors right now than Grigs should be there to. To me Drouin is going to be a great player. He can skate, has good moves and has great vision. All the things that Grigs doesn't possess. Me personally, I think JT Compher is going to be a much better player than Grigs. Grigs skating sucks and his work ethic ain't much better. I haven't been impressed with what I seen from him. He's not a top center period and probably never will be!

No, no and no. I would rather deal Grigs for a second and a third.

I totally agree this team can't afford to miss on 1st rounders. The Buffalo Bills do that just fine!

Totally agree even if he gets moved to another team there not going to put him on the roster for this season. Stupid move on his part and if his agent is involved then even more stupid. Me personally if he gets moved I couldn't care less. His skating and work ethic isn't what this team needs going forward. I still can't believe how you trade a first round running back for a fourth rounder years later. Face it Bills suck always have always will. They are just a farm squad for the elite teams.

Even during the world junior championship the announcers and scouts were talking about Grigs work ethic and not about going into the dirty areas. I don't ever see him being a #1 center. He doesn't have skill like the other highly skilled Russians. His skating stinks, his work ethic poor. And nothing about his game blows you away.

Wow what a mess this is. I wouldn't be shocked if he's gets traded soon. This all started with Darcy and Lindy by forcing this kid on the roster. Me personally I'm not impressed with his skating and work ethic so if he gets moved than it's no big loss. Like someone else said there's a reason he drops from top 3 to where he went when we gambled on him. If his agent isn't involved in this I wouldn't be shocked.

Give it some time and some more practices. This team played two of the more entertaining games against Toronto. I hope who ever they hire to be GM will keep Nolan around. I'm a big fan of him coaching. Hard work and compete is what's it's all about. Surround him with some good players and see what he will do.
