- for those worrying about the Sabres getting out of last place, don't forget Miller was excellent last year while he was the Sabres. Im confident that Enroth and Neuvirth won't be nearly as good. Still entrenched in last place - Though the "tank" is over.

Here's to another 5-15-1 start to next year!
-
anyone know the standings as of the deadline? it would be interesting to see before the floor completely collapased on the Sabres last year.

You are way over valuing what these picks do for the Sabres. This team can't score and they had Vanek/Moulson on the team up to the deadline. Gorges nor McCormack have any offensive upside - we delete Erhoff and Gionta is a leader not a scorer. Further - Edmonton, Calgary, Florida, Vancouver all got better. The Islanders get Tavares back and now have a legit goalie. Who does that leave as our competition for last? Carolina maybe, Maybe Toronto. Look at it this way - the team was in last place at the deadline with Moulson/Vanek, Ott, McCormack and Miller. How much of improvement is Gorges, Moulon, Enroth, Gionta and McCormack? Maybe Reinhart is the wildcard?

One of the biggest revenue source (if not biggest) for the NHL is the new television contract with Rogers in Canada. The Leafs due to the legions of sheep - errr fans are the biggest drivers for ratings. If the Leafs became cup contenders for a decade, the tv ratings would soar and the contract would become even more valuable. CHL Top Prospects Game Tickets go on sale in September at Niagaraicedogs.net. Great opportunity to see the 2015 draft class in person. It would be awesome to see the arena filled with Sabres fans.

Funny you say that, its the first time in my life im hoping the Leafs make the play-offs and get swept in 4 games. I want them no where near the NHL lottery next year. With the Islanders, I don't see them out of the bottom 5 if not challenging Buffalo for the top pick. They over paid both former Leafs as noone else would go there. Its a lot to ask Strome and Reinhart to make a significant impact this coming season - though I do believe both will be solid NHL players.

359 days 9 hours and 43 mins away - The Buffalo Sabres Select ????

and Flames
-
nope 30th still firmly in our grasp. though the Leafs are starting to scare me.
-
greater chance it will be Eichel but your point remains the same
-
where is Reinhart next year - NHL or WHL?. i THINK Another year in juniors (including playing on a line with McDavid at the worlds) can do him good. plus you dont eat up a year of his elc.
-
so you are saying you would rather sit through years (if not a lifetime )of mediocre hockey? do you think penguin season ticket holders dont say 83-84 was worth it? its 1 more season , we've come this far already - there is no turning backyou do know the sabres arent forcing you to buy tickets? the reason why no one is giving up their seats is because they want to be there when all these high draft picks are ready to dominate the league
-
im sure you will be real pi$$ed in 5 years and the Sabres dominate the league.
-
anyone else notice that Noah Hanifin was not invited to the USA World Junior camp? Seems odd to leave the 3rd ranked prospect in the 2015 draft off the list.

Prediction time: What trades will occur on or before the draft?
Crusader1969 replied to nfreeman's topic in The Aud Club
Stephen Weiss (with his terrible contract) and Detroit's #1 for? -
not going to qoute it but hell of ajob with the mock draft. well thought out and as good as any i have seen on any draft site.
-
anyone else thinking Draisatl after listening to Murray's recent interviews? he keeps bringing up big bodies who can score
-
unfortunately, not so fast. Le Brun was just on TSN saying that the league just came out saying "nothing is guaranteed at this point" still possible for changes. Why cant anything be easy as a Sabres fan?
-
i have no issue trading Myers or Ehrhoff in the right trade and drafting Ekblad - however you need to bring in a couple of vets to help show the kids the way.
-
agreed
-
I'd love to have known how many Patrick Kane could do at 17? Actually, I'd love to know how many he could do now! how about Gretzky?
-
399 day 10 hours and 45 minutes until the 2015 draft kicks off.
-
not that i am counting but 400 sleeps till the 2015 draft !
-
As serious as a heart attck lol. I like what Bennett brings in general terms - tenacity and an edge to his game. Think the Sabres could use these traits. Though, If the Sabres end up drafting Reinhart I will definitely trust their judgement.
-
Islanders trade for Halak - hopefully this goes as well as when they traded for Erhoffs rights prior to free agency. More evidence that the Islanders are going to reload as best as possible for next season and thus take the pick this year and defer the 2015 to Buffalo
