Hoss Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Linden Vey for a 2nd round pick? Would he not have been a better addition than Cornel or Karabacek? I don't understand taking a 4th liner in Lemiuex, instead of the #1 goalie? Or taking Karabacek and Cornel, when McKeown was still on the board? Or taking the goalie while Anton Karlsson was still there? (Those are my only gripes about this entire draft...let's get Donald Audette's boy in here now!) You just made a gripe about every relevant pick outside of Reinhart and then said "those are the only guys I have a gripe about" haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or taking the goalie while Anton Karlsson was still there? (Those are my only gripes about this entire draft...let's get Donald Audette's boy in here now!) Again there is still no reason, at all, to take a goalie in the first or in the first 2/3 of the 2nd. Lemieux will play more NHL games then Demko.

Bob Malooga Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 You just made a gripe about every relevant pick outside of Reinhart and then said "those are the only guys I have a gripe about" haha Damn it, I did. Ok. Maybe they weren't "gripes," maybe more like questions? WHY??? The Kings moved up for McKeown...why didn't we? I like the picks, I really, honestly do...and they got me Reinhart, that there is enough...but I don't understand some of the other moves? (Weren't you one on the Vey bandwagon at the trade deadline...is he not the exact player Murray seems to be looking for?) Lemieux will play more NHL games then Demko. I'd bet just about anything on this. Demko is going to be a star. Didn't Benning draft another pretty damn good American goaltender? Demko will be a stud.

Eleven Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 So the Caps selected an Aussie. I believe that means that every continent now has had at least one young man drafted by an NHL team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresBillsFan Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) I like the picks, I really, honestly do...and they got me Reinhart, that there is enough...but I don't understand some of the other moves? This is the same ? I have why more picks. I know this draft isn't the greatest but why not package up some picks for higher picks and go for quality over quantity especially since u couldn't move up in round 1. Package a second and a third or more for another second. My biggest question now is this teams scouting staff hurt by not being able to bring in 50-60 prospects into Buffalo for their own eval camp like they did for a couple of years. Lots of questions. My biggest now is how active is Buffalo going to be in free agency. To be honest with u I like Ott and Moulson but don't really want to see any of these top free agents come here.

Hoss Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 So what's the ETA on some of our earlier picks? Reinhart likely COULD play this year, but 2015 is the latest. Not really sure beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny DangerFace Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 So what's the ETA on some of our earlier picks? Reinhart likely COULD play this year, but 2015 is the latest. Not really sure beyond that. It might be awhile as Lemieux, cornel, and karabacek aren't ahl eligible until 2016-2017. So it's in NHL or CHL for them. Maybe Lemieux in 2015?

Not really sure beyond that. Out of purely selfish reasons, I do not want any 2013 or 14 Draft Pick on the team next season. But if Reinhart is ready, he deserves to be here.

Makes sense. You can always find 3rd line guys (most likely on Sabres current roster). However, I'm sure that's the same philosophy of all GMs. Comparable to Donald Trump finding a couple nickels in the cushions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) SABRES DRAFT EIGHT PLAYERS ON SECOND DAY OF NHL DRAFT THREE SECOND-ROUND SELECTIONS HIGHLIGHT BUSY DAY FOR BUFFALO BUFFALO, N.Y. (June 28, 2014) --- The Buffalo Sabres selected eight players on the second day of the 2014 NHL Entry Level Draft, including three in the second round. After taking winger Brendan Lemieux with the 31st overall pick, Buffalo traded pick 39 to Washington in exchange for the Capitals’ 44th and 74th picks this year. The Sabres’ first second-round selection, Lemieux (6’0”, 206 lbs., 3/15/95) has played two seasons with the Barrie Colts of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). Last season, Lemieux finished tied for third on Barrie with 53 points (27+26) and led the club with 145 penalty minutes. The son of four-time Stanley Cup champion and 1995 Conn Smythe Trophy winner Claude Lemieux, he also played for Canada’s gold-medal winning team at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial, scoring in the championship game versus the U.S. With the 44th overall picks, the Sabres selected center Eric Cornel. Cornel (6’2”, 186 lbs., 4/11/96) has played two seasons with Peterborough of the OHL, appearing in 131 games and registering 78 points (29+49). During the 2013-14 season, Cornel finished third in team scoring with 62 points (25+37) in 68 games. The Peterborough native recorded two five-point games during 2013-14 and notched three assists in five games for Team Ontario at the 2013 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. Five picks later, with the 49th overall selection, the Sabres picked left wing Vaclav Karabacek of the QMJHL. Karabacek (6’0”, 179 lbs., 5/2/96) played with the Gatineau Olympiques last season after being selected by the team (18th overall) in the 2013 Canadian Hockey League Import Draft. He finished the season fifth in QMJHL rookie scoring with 47 points (21+26) in 65 games. A native of the Czech Republic, Karabacek was part of Team Czech Republic’s silver-medal winning team at the 2014 Under-18 World Championship, totaling six points (3+3) in seven games. The Sabres’ first of two third-round selections, taken with the 61st overall pick, was Swedish goaltender Jonas Johansson. Johansson (6’4”, 187 lbs., 9/19/95) began playing with Brynas IF of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) in 2013-14, appearing in four games, recording a 2.32 GAA and .914 save percentage. Born in Gavle, Sweden, Johansson also won a silver medal while playing with Team Sweden at the 2014 World Junior Championship. With the 74th overall selection, the Sabres selected their only defenseman of the draft, choosing Swift Current (WHL) defenseman Brycen Martin. Martin (6’1”, 195 lbs., 5/9/1996) finished the 2013-14 WHL season ranked second among Swift Current defensemen with 37 points (6+31) in 72 games and was ranked 26th among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting. The Calgary, Alberta native led all defensemen with nine points (2+7) at the 2013 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. The Sabres went with a pair of high school forwards with their next two picks, selecting left wing Maxwell Willman in the fifth round (121st overall) and center Christopher Brown in the sixth round (151st overall). Willman (6’0”, 180 lbs., 2/13/1995) has committed to Brown University for the 2014-15 season after recording 44 points (21+23) in 25 games with Williston-Northampton in Massachusetts in 2013-14. Brown (6’0”, 179 lbs., 2/22/1996), who tallied 84 points (26+58) in 28 games for Cranbrook Kingswood in Michigan last season, will attend Boston College in 2015-16 after a spending the 2014-15 season with the Green Bay Gamblers (USHL). The Sabres rounded out the draft with the selection of Swedish right wing Victor Olofsson in the seventh round (181st overall). Olofsson (5’11”, 177 lbs., 7/18/1995) recorded 53 points (32+21) in 44 regular-season games for MODO Jr. and appeared in 11 games for MODO (SHL) during the 2013-14 season.
