  3. Draft Day 2013

    I thought Lecavalier wore B&W, not B&G.

     

    I don't really see him as a top tier player anymore - he has only hit 70 points once in the last 5 years and is pretty porous defensively. Also, this is only happening because of the buyout amnesty.

    Thanks for the passionate responses today #Sabres fans. Still a lot of dominos to fall around the league. BIG week ahead!

     

    There were lots of dominos before the draft, there were lots of dominos during the draft (unprecedented availability of players and talks), there are still lots of dominos. I think these dominos might stay where they are.

     

    The NHL needs to do something about FA, every year it becomes worse. The only team that actively releases its star players into it are the Sabres

    Maybe we'll "tank" our way all the way to the 7th overall pick in 2014!

     

    I won't be shocked if Vanek or Miller is still here to start the season. And what is Ehrhoff still doing on this team? Does he really want to spend the rest of his prime years on a terrible, last place team? And couldn't the Sabres actually get something for him?

     

    If we're trying to bottom out, we're still doing it wrong.

     

    Honestly, it wouldn't shock me (and after recent events i now expect) Miller and Vanek to be here for next season, without signing extensions. We will trade Vanek/them at the deadline

    Barring any trades for actual NHL hockey players, there's no way anybody is convincing me the plan is something other than "tank for draft picks" next season.

     

    I put Mcbain down as 25 because he was born in '87, but if we go by the age of his arteries it is probably closer to 35, so that pulls the average up...

    Enroth, Hackett and Makarov aren't promising? If Fucale is a guaranteed all star why wasn't he taken in the first round?

     

    Enroth is not a prospect, but no he isn't that promising. I see him as an alright NHL starter at best. If we trade Miller I think we will really see Enroth's inconsistency - some games he will be very good, others he will simply cost them the game.

     

    Hackett 2 years ago would have got be excited. He was traded because he became an AHL back-up goalie because his game had gone to ###### ever since he had his first stint in the NHL. If Miller isn't traded, which he probably won't be now, Hackett is back to being an AHL back-up goalie for the season

     

    Makarov is the most promising prospect we have, i almost excluded him from my generalisation, but he is still nowhere near as sure a thing as Fucale. Scouts said they have never seen a guy his age dominate the crease like he does. For a team that for 20+ years has built from the net out we are now in a situation where there is nothing in front of us. No replacement

     

    Now people will say well it hasn't worked so far. Well that is true. However, we have two scoring prospects, Armia and Grigorenko. That is it. Our cupboard is bare.

     

    Sekera was our second best defenceman and we traded him for an out of shape place holder and this guy. We then chose not to address a position of future need with someone who probably will be a superstar, but instead took another centre.

     

    In 3 years we are going to have centres playing every position on this team. Talk about over compensating.

     

    As for why he wasn't chosen, goalies are risky. This was a deep draft, you don't want to waste a pick in a deep draft on a dodgy position. We had 5 picks int he top 52, we could have afforded to take a risk

     

    They also have Ullmark is the Swedish league.

     

    I think Sabres' fans are the only people excited about him.

     

    We refuse to take a goalie before the 4th round because we think we can just get lucky again. The teams with good young goalies (Boston, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Florida - which division are they playing in for the foreseeable future?) all took them early

    He's talking about passing on Fucale and instead taking Compher?

     

    A team that has literally no really promising goalies, i just can't understand the logic of passing up Fucale. The only thing i can think is that we thought we could get him at 38 and got burnt

    This guy best become something because it cost us a future all-star goalie. We must think this guy is pretty sensational. The good news is now 1/3 of our defence have a history of turning up to the start of the season out of shape.

     

    Myers now has a friend to go to dunkin' donuts with

    Marvin, I don't think anybody's gonna try to tell you that you didn't say that.

     

    Studies show depressed people are more realistic :(

     

    Marvin wins this round. He also won the "where will Sabres finish?" round.

     

    2-0
