Not really enamored with the free agent crop. I would prefer just plugging up with one year players while Botterill works on shedding some of the superfluous crap. Someone like Pitlick on the cheap to plug a bottom six role might be interesting. Albeit, that he's coming back from injury.

I would give it a B, there is room for improvement. I liked the Middlestadt and goalie selections and time will tell if there is a promise from the other selections. Just like Murray received the benefit of the doubt, so shall Botterill. He was given a bit of a mess to clean up and also to restructure the team to how he sees fit.

I would say it's contingent on Bogosian being moved. I don't see enough spots. As he's a righty, and really a one trick pony PP specialist. He'll use Buffalo for leverage and go to NYR. Who just moved a bunch of cap.

Oh great forecaster of ever seeing knowledge can you forecast the next power ball. Seriously, go take a nap.

Yuck. I am so not a fan of his game. He's also been extremely "unlucky / injury prone" the past few seasons. I'd only move him there for Brodin or Dumba plus. No thank you on Scandella! But, that's just my jaded opinion.

Can we ignore posters? Seriously, calm the **** down. For the most part there were maybe 4-7 players that could definitely help the Sabres day one of next season, all if not most were gone by #8.

I would go further in saying it allows you to do quite a few things with mixing lines and talents when you have natural positions at the draw, you can develop amazing chemistry. I like the European flare to be honest. I'm good so far. I had Middlestadt behind Only: Hischier, Vilardi, Patrick.

Could it be that they are just following their draft plan. I'm fine with it so far. Hague and Timmins were gone, as were Makar and Heiskanen in round 1. The goalie in this range is a fine gamble. He's considered the top European and McKeen had him as the best in the class.

I preferred Robertson at this selection, but speed kills and they must be really focused on getting faster for sure.

Ratcliffe is gone now. Yikes! That's a steep hill to climb, but to each their own Philly has been really aggressive so far.

I think Bogosian has been better than Myers since the trade, and that's not saying much as Myers has been injured most of that time. So call a spade a spade. Zadorov is too young to say he cannot turn into a functional defensemen.

I think he sounded poignant, intelligent and straight forward with his presser. His tape doesn't lie, getting stronger isn't an issue. Sam in his rookie year in preseason and the first nine games couldn't handle the NHL size/strength. It's a good pick.

He looks like he just ate someone.

I think I'll eat a bagel for breakfast. So perhaps.

Oh no....oops....

Middlestadt in German means "Centercity". LMAO. I wanted Vilardi, and didn't expect him to fall. For those who are afraid because he cannot do a pull up, get over it. He can skate very well.

Then retroactively trade Seabrook after.

Getting rid of Bogosian and Ennis in one deal while making Chicago worse....sign me up.

+1. Couldn't have said it better Dudacek.

Very punny. Kale Clague, obviously vegan.

Cough Kane.

I wouldn't that in any sense of the word, you lose on pure value of an upgraded pick and Kane is worth more than at best a second pairing defensemen who had his break out season at 24-25.

I'd rather go to a Phoenix Coyotes via Arizona of Glendale through Winnipeg. At least they are competitive. I purely jest!

Quality over Quantity :P But that's just me. An elite talent versus pieces. I would draft Patrick or Hischier and move on, and thank god for karma in moving up in the lottery. Complete horse , but what can you do. That would make this really go all over the flipping place.
