    IMO arguably the "over thinking" comes in with the bolded bit. 

    We spent months and months last year talking about who would be guaranteed to be on the board for us, at 8, a bunch of them were, and we didn't take any of them. Irrespective of Quinn being a good or bad pick, no one was really banging the drum that'd he'd potentially be our guy

    Quote? From how long ago? Not doubting you just curious 

    “I actually like the right side a lot,” Dahlin said, “I can play both, so it doesn’t matter

    so everyone scared of drafting left D shouldn't be scared .

    Sabres already have a franchise LHD.  That’s my only concern

     

     

    Let's not forget Dahlin said he rather play on the right side

    Sabres 2nd rounder will be interesting, a “first rounder” that slips, like JJP in ‘20 perhaps.

    Arizona losing their pick takes the 32 team draft back to 31.

     

    There will be alot of first rounders in the 2 round

    If Sabres end up drafting 5 and the first 4 off the board are Beniers, Guenther, Eklund and Powers. 
    are you taking Hughes ?

     No hesitation you take huges he will be a franchise defenseman and power will just be "good"

    Peterka plays on both wings, so that's a plus, if he makes it

    I wouldn't bet on this. Not very common in the NHL. It's possible but I wouldn't personally say likely 

    He will when we do "redraft" he will go top 5 in 5 years

    him who?

    I don't understand the Edvinsson love and I have tried.

    What is your take on Edvinsson? I saw a guy with little hockey sense and then I watched the Scouching video and oh boy. I just don’t see a top 3 pick there unless someone falls in love with the sexy skating/size combo. Praise the Lord it is not Buffalo🤪

     

    He reminds  a lot of OEL the young and good one lol I would definitely take him over powers

    And I disagree. I think their are glaring holes in the forwards. 

    I do agree that the draft is weird due to covid and such. 

    ... hmm well he still would have wjc probably so I'd say 2nd rounder. 

     How would he have world Jr's? They're not  Inviting a person that had 12 goals the year before

    Stop putting words into my mouth. I said the discrepancy isn’t large enough to warrant not picking BPA

     

    Its a junky draft anyway. Guenther or Berniers look like NHLers. Powers is overrated because he’s a large Canadian boy.  And picking a large human as their defining trait in the first round is always a mistake 

     

    It's a garbage draft yet leagues didn't play so its "unknown" if the same  Situation happen last year Jack Quinn would have been a 3rd or 4th Rounder correct ?

    I see no problem with drafting a defenseman with a top 5 pick. We have a lot of young forwards. We have a few young defenseman.  There’s no glaring holes 

    I'm not a fan of Beniers at all but if I was the  General manager I would draft like I'm losing Jack eichel so a back up plan is in place

    Unless the Sabres trade Risto, I don’t see them picking a D with their first pick. If they get the first overall, I could see them swapping picks with another team like Columbus to get a goalie, and then pick one of the best forwards.

     

    Yeah that's not enough imo

    LOL How have all these players risen or dropped when no one has played games lately.  Classic “the boss wants you to create some new content”

    why is everyone so high on Edvinsson, kid has the hockey IQ of a piece of wood. Great tools, no toolbox.

    It's just "scouts" getting bored and trying to get clicks 

    do I agree with the list? no

    He's not my guy but anyone who watched ncaa hockey saw Beniers drive that line while Johnson got open looks and stick handled mainly on the perimeter. 

    I don't have a guy this draft. I like the forwards but think we'll get a good player regardless. 

    I thought this last year then they picked a guy that would be available at 15 who I never had on our radar lol
