Derrico Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 The whole exceptional player thing is what has me most curious about Ekblad. No matter where he winds up I'll be very curious to see how that career goes. I want to see if this really is a label that has you on the path to the Hall of Fame or if they are going to get a bit to liberal with it. We really don't have much to look at so far, but Tavares is definitely on the right track (as long as the knee doesn't cause too many issues). I agree with this. Basically the kid was identified as a superstar very early in his career and to have him reach the NHL as a potential first overall pick that does tell you something. I want Buffalo to go forward but I'm also not buying this talk that he's only dominating the OHL because he's physically larger than the majority of the players. The kid has an unbelievable shot that has nothing to do with his size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Timmeh will surprise us all at the draft i think, he doesn't seem to be the guy that likes to have a 3 yr rebuild. He'll take this crap for one more year, but he'll start to add key pieces at the draft via trades. Edited March 27, 2014 by Heimdall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 If we draft Ekblad without any moves (before or after the pick) to acquire some high-end forward prospects, I'm going to lose it. He may be the consensus top prospect, but he's not #1 by so much that we should ignore the complete lack of first line talent in the system.

Crusader1969 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Assuming Blues make the Conference Finals the Sabres stand to have the following picks if the season ended today and they win the lottery 1) If New York Islanders defer - 4 picks in top 40 1st, 28th-30th (from St.Louis), 31st, 39th (from Winnipeg) 2) If New York Islanders do not defer - 5 picks in top 40 1st, 4th, 28th to 30 (from St.Louis), 31st and 39th (from Winnipeg) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastPommerFan Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 At least 4 top 40 forwards and 1 or 2 from the top 5. the year after next is going to be fun. if we all survive the winter of our discon-tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm still not sold on Reinhart, he's just too small for me. 6'1'' isn't terrible, but he doesn't really fit the model of 11 forwards at 6'4''+. We'd be better off poaching from the NFL draft and throwing skates on them, someone like Clowney would do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Is Weber 6'4"? think he's played some LW? He'd easily be a better winger than Yakupov and he got drafter what? 1st overall? I bet we could trade him for the 1^2st overall :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) In case anybody didn't notice: Tonight's loss officially clinched a top five pick in the NHL draft. The next loss in any fashion or next point by the Islanders clinches a top four pick! If Ekblad goes in the top five then we're guaranteed to get one of Reinhart, Bennett, Dal Colle or Draisaitl. Those guys are pretty much the consensus top four forwards with Nylander, Ritchie, Virtanen and Ehlers sneaking in right behind.

SabresBillsFan Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I would love to have the Islanders let us use their pick this year I just don't see it happening though. I would love 2 picks in the top 5. I just think they will make a move or two to better the team plus they have a lot of young guys coming. I just think they land in the 8-14 range next year.

shrader Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 But if Wang is finally looking to sell, they won't be adding payroll this offseason. It really is starting to look like they'll be aiming for McDavid/Eichel to for their new owner/new building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
