More likely we don't move down, and rather stay the same or go up. So that's what I'm expecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I can't watch these anymore. Pipe dreams and all that. Man would he be a beast on a power play. I can't watch them either, but it's because all the ads on those unis makes it look likes like you are trying to stream the game illegally,… only live.

GoPre Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 There's a 68.5% chance a Canadian team will win the lottery. Still can't believe not one Canadian team made the playoffs. If Edmonton win its..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 So, we have 5 third round picks in this draft? That is a ######-load. I expect a few to be packaged in order to move up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 So, we have 5 third round picks in this draft? That is a ######-load. I expect a few to be packaged in order to move up. Third round picks have such little value. I don't see a team getting too excited about any amount of 3rd rounders. Maybe to move up a few spots in the 2nd round.

Tom Backyard Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 So, we have 5 third round picks in this draft? That is a ######-load. I expect a few to be packaged in order to move up. Do we really? I'm counting four 3rd rounders and one is conditional depending on Anaheim's fate. That one could turn into a 2017 2nd rounder. http://www.generalfanager.com/teams/buffalo-sabres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3putt Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 We gave up one for Disco Dan. The other is conditional on Anaheim not making the WCF. We have ours, St Louis and the stars. The Isles 3rd for Neuvirth went to Pittsburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresBillsFan Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I would use all those picks in the 3rd either to move up or select who your scouts feel could play in the NHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ct fab Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 As opposed to picking a player whom the scouts don't think can play in the NHL - lol!! In all seriousness, we have a lot of contracts and if we can package those 3s into a 2 it would make sense. If ANA loses tomorrow, we have another 3 btw. Ideal senario - win the lottery or win the 2nd pick (about a 12.3% chance) sign Vesey and trade for a top 2 dman from a cash strapped team. Also prob need a solid backup G but that should be easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 My guess would be we trade 1 or 2 of those 3rd rounders to flavor up a hockey trade. Have they announced a time that the lottery is being held on Saturday yet??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they announced a time that the lottery is being held on Saturday yet??? Here's what I found: WHEN DOES IT HAPPEN? Saturday, April 30, 7 p.m. ET. WHERE WILL IT TAKE PLACE? The winner will be revealed at the Hockey Central studio inside CBC headquarters in downtown Toronto. WHERE CAN I WATCH IT? Prior to puck drop for a marquee second-round series game on CBC, starting at 7 p.m. ET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 +1 Thanks No problem.. That info came from Canadian site, hence the CBC. Here in the States, I would assume NBC will cover it. That was the case last year, and NBC usually gets the "marquee games" that the lottery precedes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Are they finally going to show us the lottery ball machine in action? I hope they don't do the stupid envelope thing again.

The messenger may even get shot. :ph34r: I like where we're heading as a team. I'm not too worried about where the Sabres draft this year. GMTM will build through free agency and trades in the off-season. Playoffs in 2017. Get ready for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a trade, but GMTM has said you build through the draft. FAs are added to put you over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will they have bronze, silver and gold cards now? They might, but the colors could ruin the suspense. Didn't the NBA used to do the card thing and then when they came to a team that wasn't in its expected slot, they jump to the top three reveal?

Last year the Knicks dropped to 4 or 5 or something, but they didn't jump up to the top 3, just kept going down the line.... but this is what I want to see live for the NHL.... http://www.nba.com/video/channels/draft/2014/05/20/052014-draft-lottery-behind-the-scenes.nba/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
