BuffaloFansR_Crazy Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Was the blonde in the black dress sitting next to him his sister or girlfriend? Either way I hope she is coming over here with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesportsbuff Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 pretty surprised they didn't take a center OR trade the pick for a center. all in all a pretty boring night for Sabres fans (reminds me of july 1st every year and the trade deadline <_< ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braedon Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 He's big, and they had a good look at him a World Juniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The picks in this draft aren't moving around at all other than the Carter deal because they're not worth very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullwinkle Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I don't know why I watch this every year. I always come in with high expectations and leave disappointed. The last time I was happy over a Buffalo first round pick was when they took Myers. Armenia??? RW is the LAST position we need to fill. We have too many as it is.

Robviously Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 FWIW, Joel Armia was the first player mentioned way back when I started this thread.... We can still be excited about hockey this spring/summer even though we haven't won a playoff series since 2007. The 2011 NHL Draft starts June 24th! I've seen a couple mock drafts that have the Sabres taking Joel Armia from Finland: Hockey News Article. He was in Buffalo in December for the WJC, but the Sabres have been reluctant to draft Europeans after getting burned a few times in the past. I still hope the Sabres manage to pull off a trade of some kind this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing in the system on the right side beyond Kassian. They need depth at every single forward position right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Marcy has to do better than this. Pegs should have dumped him before the draft another lack of creativity. A winger on a team full of wingers yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrico Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Just watched some of the highlights, looks like he's got some major hands, my God. However, the couple of youtube packages I watched did not make him out to have much of a physical aspect to his game. Unfortunately outside of Kassian, most of our forwards are skilled but not physical. He may fit in with the rest of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling Archer Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Speaking of RW, am I the only right-handed person in the world who doesn't play pro hockey that feels more comfortable on the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going to need skill to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
