I’ll actually be in Anaheim that weekend, oops

Western Canadian Trip during the second week Vegas comes to Buffalo on November 10th

Per Reports

I can’t see them passing on Nazar twice

The fact He is going into the draft without a KHL Contract probably helps that though

That puts Lekkerimaki squarely in the Sabres Sights.

He’s represented by Gold Star (Dan Milstein) sign Him to an ELC before He gets off the stage. FWIW Jerry Forton mentioned He really likes the Top 25-30 Players in this draft

Yurov has one more year left on His Present Deal, and Trikozov doesn’t have a signed contract next year.

I meant confident that the Sabres are going to draft Him

Further in the Podcast, Friedman mentioned He believes a team proposed that trade and Garrioch is well connected with the Sens Brass

He seems pretty confident 🤪

Friedman mentioned on the Pod that Bruce Garrioch reported in order to move Matt Murray the Sens would have to include the 7OA Pick. Friedman reported the Sens probably do not want to do that. Adams should offer 28 (preferably)or 16 to Ottawa for 7OA and Murray. Murray has two years left at 6.25 Million AAV and has a history with Mike Bales.

I wonder if they make the trade with Arizona would Columbus offer 6th Overall to teams drafting 7-11.

With 4 picks in the first 41, they can afford to take a chance. Yurov has Top Ten Talent and doesn’t play for CSKA and Gleb Trikozov would be worth drafting at 28 or 41. Taking Yurov at 9 would be cringeworthy, but at 28 or 41 I would be Ok with that They would have passed on Nazar twice in this draft.

I would agree about 9 and possibly 16, but their value at 28 or 41 is too much to pass up on.

They both have KHL Contracts so of course they will return

Yurov and Misoshnichenko are both in Montreal for the draft Also Pavel Mintyukov stayed in the US for offseason training

Pronman’s Final Mock 9. Buffalo Sabres: Jonathan Lekkerimaki, RW, Djurgarden (SHL) I expect Buffalo to use the first of its three first-round picks primarily to add offense and skill to the organization. I’ve heard Savoie and Kemell speculated here but the best guess from my information is they will pick either Lekkerimaki or Kasper. 16. Buffalo Sabres: Jiri Kulich, LW/C, Karlovy Vary (Czechia) Kulich’s name continues to rise, and I think he has a strong chance to be a top-20 pick on draft day. I’ve mocked Danila Yurov here consistently and I do think he could be in play, but Kulich offers far less risk and is still quite a talent. I’ve also heard Ostlund speculated here if he’s still available. 28. Buffalo Sabres: Brad Lambert, RW, Pelicans (Finland) I’ve heard a little more Lambert love from NHL sources in the last few days than I did in June. I think it’s still possible he’s picked in the teens, but my current bet is he goes somewhere in the 20s. Lambert for Buffalo at 28 would be a big swing on the dynamic speed/skill combination with a hope he becomes more consistent.
