LGR4GM Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 I don’t assume Botts would pick the playmaker Svechnikov at 2nd. He might trade down and take a goal scorer or defenseman, and also get a roster player in return.He had like 40g in 44 gamesIs Dahlin that much better than the rest for me to care?Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted April 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 (edited) Is Dahlin that much better than the rest for me to care? I would say so. It's not enough to be devastated at pick 3, but he's likely an Eichel-tier prospect, whereas you can't come close to saying that about pick 3, as there are a bunch of guys that could be the guy there. I'm not guaranteeing anything or saying that you should be devastated if we pick third, but with what we have right now, if you're interested in who the Sabres draft, it would be legitimately exciting to get first.

CallawaySabres Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 We absolutely have to win it this time, we are getting Dahlin The way I saw it was a big drop in talent from 3 to four, minor drop from 3 to 2 and potential hall of Famer at 1....probably a lock.

There is no such thing as a hall of fame lock at this point in a player's career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 I don’t assume Botts would pick the playmaker Svechnikov at 2nd. He might trade down and take a goal scorer or defenseman, and also get a roster player in return. I heard the guy on GR call Svechnikov a playmaker as well. Not sure where this view has originated from. He will be taken at #2 by whichever team is lucky enough to get him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 We'll get a really good player in either spot #1 or spot #2. ...I just think we need a top defenseman more than we need a top forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Just saw that CBC is 6 seconds ahead of NBC. I'll try not to cheer too loud if the Sabres win the lottery and ruin the suspense for everyone south of the border Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastajoe Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 I heard the guy on GR call Svechnikov a playmaker as well. Not sure where this view has originated from. He will be taken at #2 by whichever team is lucky enough to get him Svechnikov is an all around player, but if the team wants a pure goal scorer like Laine to put on Eichel’s wing, Zadina is that player. Or there’s a couple of other quality Ds. So getting 2nd could give the option to Botts of trading down and getting 2 quality players, a pick and a traded player.

Randall Flagg Posted April 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 When do they announce the top 3? During the intermission. There are about 5 minutes left in the period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Svechnikov is a goal scorer, from what I’ve heard. - - - If Montreal wins, that’s 2 of last 3 first overalls in division. The 'Hockey Gods' have to come thru for the Sabres this time. Watching either the Habs or 'Canes win this thing would be like somebody asking if you'd rather be shot or stabbed.

Thorny Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 I would say so. It's not enough to be devastated at pick 3, but he's likely an Eichel-tier prospect, whereas you can't come close to saying that about pick 3, as there are a bunch of guys that could be the guy there. I'm not guaranteeing anything or saying that you should be devastated if we pick third, but with what we have right now, if you're interested in who the Sabres draft, it would be legitimately exciting to get first. And a left shot sniper at wing is exactly what we need too. I’ll be satisfied with 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted April 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Just remember, the worst case scenario is still better than what was most likely, and is still a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
