Barf!

Knee I think?

Hoping for Lucius....highly skilled and possibly top 10 if he didn't get hurt

Damm Blue Jack's

Interesting pick by the Sens....could we have a shot at Sillinger?

Power being interviewed on GR55 right now.

Yes....obviously we need prospects more than picks at this point. Still hoping something can happen with Minny.

Would still like to see a forward at #13 vs. a netminder.

There he goes....@#$%!

He already got one goalie at a bargain price....he can now splurge on Eklund-caliber talent.

Interesting....Rick Nash standing behind Davidson

So far, a big nothing burger...tune in about 40 minutes from now I guess.

Imagine the reaction from all the pundits if we did not select Power.

If it happens with Anaheim, feeling greedy and would want Comtois as well.

Maybe GMKA will take Philly's 2nd rounder next year in 2023 and use that to move up from #14 this year into the top 10...or even 5? Dreger seemed to imply that Risto was the most likely to be moved today....I was skeptical anything would happen...so much for my gut feel. Whoops, wrong year.

Perhaps, although he had a decent +/- the season before last.

Of course he is 😉. It's all posturing. Jack and is agent realize that they helped make the situation more difficult and that they now have to look like he's fine to make a trade easier.

Nope!

Yes....all of the above, plus maybe the fact that we are also lacking NHL ready goaltending talent and enough defensive (shut-down) talent as well.

Maybe it could be that the Buffalo front office itself is also uncertain about what it wants to do. In the end, it will be a lot running in place with no actual roster changes and a boring Friday night as the Sabres pick Power 1OA and call it a night.

Seems to me that they'll also address the expansion draft outcome and why they did what they did (whatever that is).

Maybe belongs in another thread, but adding Boldy (+ Rossi, etc.) gets my attention real fast. Maybe we can package 22OA plus one of our 2nds to get back into the top 10 if an LA King's deal above doesn't happen.

I could easily be wrong, but the more this goes on, the more it feels that NOTHING will happen before the draft. GMKA will not make a trade just to make a trade and will cite that the return was not enough to justify making a change. GMKA will select Power at 1OA and then we'll watch other teams make moves, but not Buffalo.

This is something I have pondered as a crazy scenario. Would they take Jeff's contract (assuming he waives his NMC?) along with Jack or Sam in exchange for 2OA and more picks this year and beyond. It does not help us today, but I'd sure like to get rid of that horrible contract. Crazy thought I guess.

As they say....It's always darkest before dawn. We're overdue and maybe the hockey gods will finally shine upon us.
