Robin lehner signs for islanders

Agree. Good post and makes you hope that good times are hopefully coming.

Absolutely delighted to get sheary.

What time will the first pick be announced? 7pm??

Agree. Some of them are laughable.

The celebrations have been great to watch, some of them hilarious. Only hope we can win it someday.

Fair point

Followed his progress with the amerks and hope he makes the Sabres out of camp. Hope oloffson makes an impact too but possbily not straight away.

The arena where i watch most of my hockey was built in 1938. Only minor works have been carried out on the building in that time. The place itself does have character and when full is probably one of the most intimidating atmospheres in the UK.

Hopefully Baptiste and Bailey are full time in Buffalo next season and i am also hoping that Oloffson at least finishes the season with the Sabres. Also got a feeling Sean Malone could earn the 4th line center spot.

Agree with you on this one taro. Want our players playing playoff hockey. I will be in Slovakia next year to see great Britain take on the world's elite. We tend to have an up down experience as the world's goes but looking forward to seeing the world's best teams in action.

If jets can sustain that style of play over the series then they are headed to the finals i reckon

Would be good but not so sure id be willing to give up sam.

Was not so sure but i am heading towards keeping him now. We do have a great player and i dont want him traded and then looking back and thinking as he is doing well elsewhere "you dont know how good you had it had until its gone" Lets concentrate on building around the core, not within.

Agree, this is how i also see things panning out, another step forward.

Thomas Vanek my favourite, watched him play for Austria when attending the 2008 world championships

Not so sure whether to keep oreilly. I am thinking keep.

Like the look of this, hopefully Oloffson comes in and makes an impact. Also like that 3rd line.

Exactly :) And Great britain won gold at the World championships in hungary so we are promoted to play with the big teams next year. Was a great day.

Didn't get to bed here until 3.45am. if you are a Sabres fan from Europe thats what you have to do :) Feel we took an important step yesterday on the road back. Lets do this.

This should pretty much be a formality who we pick. Would have taken svechnikov in a heartbeat at no 2 but not convinced that was botts thinking if we had drafted there.

said on another thread today is hopefully the day that we have made a step in the right direction and are now on the way back.

Its 3.20am here in the uk, i am now wide awaked and shaking with excitement. Get in there!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now botts you have a top pick to add to the one we got three years ago, time to do what needs done and get us back to where we should be. Hoping today is now the day that we have started on the road back. Really happy.

Whatever happens we will get a good player. Even if we fall to 4th

talking about a 4th line i would be happy with Bailey-Erod-Baptiste
