  1. My feeling about the draft for us today:

    If you are one of those people that support the team in the offseason no matter what they do, then you like it.

    If you don't like taking risks, you like it.

  2. Sure he could, but an undrafted free agent that played 7 NHL games has a low percant of doing that imo.

     

    What did he show you that screams he could unseat any of the current guys? He was a desperate injury fill in, nothing more.

     

    For the record, this argument is likely irrelevant. Doubt Pardy or Sulzer factor into the discussion at all going forward. They'll probably walk.

  3. On an unrelated note, I'm not completely upset about the Sekera/McBain trade but it kind of seems odd that Buffalo was so close to acquiring #5 & McBain for Sekera & #8, but since that didn't work, they trade the same player to the same team for their same player and #35.

     

    Outside of wanting Regier's head on a plate for this one, I can only think that Darcy regretted not doing the deal in the first and went back to get at least something done?

     

    Yeah it would be nice to see Bailey at 52

     

    I actually think Bailey and Carrier are both better prospects than Hurley.

  4. Outside of McCabe and McNabb the cupboards are full of non-NHL'ers. When these two are ready there will be room.

     

    You can't ignore the fact that our entire d-corps in the NHL is still full of players under 24. Myers, Pysyk and Ruhwedel are still under 24. Weber is 25. It's not like we have aged NHL dmen. Darcy ###### up.

  5. Mike Harrington ‏@BNHarrington 8m

    Darcy on trading a D now after taking 2: "I suppose it probably gives us options but that wasn't the intent." #Sabres

     

    Then what? Hoard defensive draft picks, guaranteeing that a few are busts because there's no room for them?

  6. our D sucked last year and we also drafted forwards last year . Not surprising picks.

     

    These picks don't change our defense immediately. We already have a ###### ton of solid defense prospects that we should've been interested in seeing in the coming years.

  7. So now do you take the russian at 16 if he is still there?

     

    If he's still there at 16 and they pass again, I'll burn my jersey.

     

    (I'm only willing to say that because they don't wear these thirds anymore)

  8. Wow some of you are ridiculous. Everyone whining we didn't do anything, or that this is anti-climatic should get a grup. We have the #8 pick and #16 pick and are going to get two great prospects. If that isn't fun or exciting to you then you shouldn't be watching the draft.

     

    It is anti-climactic. It's not a statement about our team. It's a statement about the league. All the CRAZY talk about everybody trading and nothing has been done.
