Serron Noel please and thank you.

He's average not elite at anything sounds like many we have on the roster now.

I'd love Serron Noel F

Give them time it's bound to happen.

Fact, you will die some day.

Will a goalie go in round 1?

Wow Sakic looks terrible.

NHL draft has always been strange.

I'm hoping Jakub Lauko LW makes it to us.

Awesome reactions lol

Zadina

Damn I'm old,. I've watched Keith Tkachuck drafted, retired and now watching his kids get drafted

They should have traded for O'Reilly.

Everyone in sports hates losing, everyone of these guys are competitors, only the selfish express that to the media. No need to give them even more fuel to the fire and the words he said also linger with others in the locker room, that's what creates bad environments in the first place.

Anyone who openly admits to losing the passion for the game to social media outlets should be immediately jettisoned the hell out of here whether we all knew it or not, this from a guy who drove drunk straight into a Timmy Ho's? STFU and play your ass off, you're on a young team and you're preaching like I've lost the love of the game? If he's on the team still I'd be disappointed in Botteril but I'm pretty sure the rumblings are already in the works and have been for awhile.

How about F Andrei Svechnikov, F Filip Zadina, F Jesperi Kotkenemimi or just trade the 3rd for an established fast, scoring Forward at RW or LW.

I don't think O'Reilly will be traded for draft picks I think he''l be traded for an established player, possibly a Defenseman like a Tyson barrie of COL or Kris Letang of Pittsburgh then trade Ristolainen for a top Winger like Pacioretty and a draft pick? Makes more sense imo.

Reinhart's play has gone up each season so there is hope, I think it's a stretch to think he's more than a 50 pt player at this point but I could be wrong.

I think he'd be a great fit, I doubt he goes to the worst place team but if he sees potential to be the "missing piece", I doubt he's coming back just for the money, he was making bank in Russia so who knows, at 35 he'd still be our best winger by quite a large margin, I've been watching him over in the KHL, he's still quick, top scorer there and that piece on , the barstool column was complete trash, who reads that ? Anyways I was just seeing what the consensus would be.

I've always been a big fan of Kovalchuck, he's a hard worker, a goal scorer and seems like a decent dude from what I read. Many people think he abandoned the Devils but he was offered around the same money to play closer to home, can't say I fault anyone for that. Any possible way he'd want to come here and play with the youngins? Is he strickly going to play for a Stanley Cup caliber team? Would we have the cap to sign him? All I know is that he'd be an upgrade to Kane imo. What do you guys think?

I think O'Reilly is part of the problem here unfortunately, he's in a system that relies on forwards getting up the ice fast, something he doesn't do well, he's a decent player but for what he's worth I don't like the fit, he 's a great face off guy, that landed us last place in the league so I'm sure there's a better fit out there. I'd love for them to land a top 4 d-man with O'Reilly and a top 6 forward with Ristolainen. I think this team would be better off without those guys who don't "fit the process", just my opinions.

Welcome to the Sabres Dahlin, it's about time!

This seems to be who Reinhart is, which is a complimentary player rather than a difference maker, he disappeared when games were on the line, like he did the year before. I wouldn't go over paying for him because he's scoring goals with nothing on the line. Just my opinion, I'm still hoping he's dealt at the Draft for a solid D-Man while we pickup Svechnikov.

It was the right thing to do then and I still support it, unfortunately our ex GM's vision didn't pan out but with the right moves Botteril can right a sinking ship, getting either Svechnikov or Dahlin will be a great start and we'll be faster soon, with Nylander/Middlestadt, team speed is needed desperately. The good thing out of all this bad is that Reinhart is finally looking decent again.

If we don't end up winning the top pick in the lottery, please let us get Svechnikov, this kid looks like he could be a faster version of Cam Neely. Big, powerful, hard to knock off the puck, scores, passes well, fast, hits.
