Exactly. Farrance was available at Sabres pick. They obviously want this kid more. I think I'll trust jbot and his professional scouting staff at this point.
So the rumors I've heard were Arizona was looking for a D in the draft. Now that Rags hold the spot does this mean maybe a guy like Heiskanen drops to 8?
I was thinking it would be no. However, there has been speculation by guys like Dreger that the Sabres are in on a lot of the activity. Dreger usually has knowledgeable sources. I'm now leaning towards yes.
Liljegren seems to be the name I keep seeing out of the top 3 D that may be available at 8.
Anyone have a strong opinion either way? How close is he to NHL ready? Are we seeing him (realistically) max out as a top 2 guy? Top 4?
