If the Sabres end up with picks 1,3, and 9, I'd be stoked if they go Beniers, Eklund, McTavish. First, welcome. Second from what I have seen the u18 tournament really upped his view among scouts. I think because he can be a center and has size, teams will be eager to pick him. I'd love us to land Beniers, Eklund, and McTavish though. That would change a lot of things for this franchise. He might go as high as 5... which brings me to below. 16 minutes ago, Flashsabre said: McTavish will be gone top 5. I think he could. Since this draft is such a crapshoot he could also go 10th but Columbus I think is the most likely landing spot for him if Beniers is gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buf4alo Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Thanks guys for the warm welcome! But yeah, looks like a lot of mocks have McTavish going at 5. Bummer. What's everyone's thoughts on the two goalies? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great listen and I could not agree with Scouch more on his take on Power and Beniers! Lets keep fingers crossed that Adams and Karmanos agree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think buffalo is going to play that game And get criticized everywhere they will go save and take the average power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthEbriate Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Three weeks to go! Time for the prospects by name for 2021. The order is from some sort of prospect list and has no bearing on my preference. Except Power, which is the clear favorite for names. Bonus picks included as we could have multiple firsts. Owen Power – Uncle Owen had better have that crease cleared by midday or there'll be hell to pay. Unnnnlimmitted Power! This one speaks for itself and is clearly the best name available for 'Ebriate purposes. Mason McTavish – Moff Tavish is a regional governor in the Galactic Empire. Somewhere Mid Rim. He could become a Grand Moff if he plays his cards right. Kent Johnson – Nope. Too old! boring to be drafted Star Warsy. Luke Hughes – Luke! Luuuuke! Hughes! Huuuughes! Be sure your defenseman speaks Bocci. Not enough Us to threaten Luukkonen. Dylan Guenther – Rebel officer. He wears a vest with a little insignia/rank plate. Matthew Beniers – Jedi. …. I don’t know anyone named Matty, but Young Beniers lives in both zones of the ice sea. He’s kind of a strange two-way hermit. Brandt Clarke – Is the E silent? Yes? Imperial officer. Probably serving on an Imperial Star Destroyer. William Eklund – Bounty hunter. Eklund wears a cape. Lots of hidden weapons. Simon Edvinsson – Junior member of the Galactic Senate. Someday he’ll be a character whose talent and importance is never really appreciated. Jesper Wallstedt – What is a Wallstedt? A cup? A ship? A speeder? I sense a ship. The Wallstedt. A Rebel ship. Aatu Räty – Ithorian. Denizen of a cantina/cantina-adjacent locale. Has all the latest off-world rumors. Sebastian Cossa – Mercenary/pirate. Seems like he’d know Hondo. Carson Lambos – Lambos is not a system. He’s a man. Card player, gambler, scoundrel. You’d like him. Fabian Lysell – On the other hand, Lysell is a system, not a man. Chaz Lucius – An alias. “Chaz! Chaz Lu… ci…us” is the kind of name an 'Ebriate would fabricate by reading nearby signs in an attempt to deceive our plucky protagonists. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rakish Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 I put out a video on my draft process. I was hoping to avoid google, so I went with the public option at patreon. Turns out I had to post it on Vimeo anyway. https://www.patreon.com/joecochrane or If you'd rather just see the list rather than hear about the process for 20 minutes: Guenther,Power,Beniers,Eklund,Edvinsson,McTavish picks for 33, still thinking about the order, it'll be some arrangement of these 5 I think. Anton Olsson, Olen Zellweger, Conner Roulette, Brett Harrison, Sasha Pastujov I'm not sure I'll put out another video with the rest of the draft board, it's not very ... watchable? 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 I know someone here is going to be really happy with that list @rakish. Sorry about the podcast thing.

thewookie1 Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 NRD, a rather legit source on Twitter, also agreed with Chad and Lance. Said the Sabres will walk away with Eklund after the draft. He also added if we end up with another Top 5 pick it would be assured and that would line up with the 3 listed. If we end up with 1&3 I could easily see them then taking Eklund 1OA and then choosing between Power and Hughes If Seattle takes Beniers. For instance, even if they rank them 1. Power 2. Eklund 3. Hughes Depending on their separation, Taking Eklund makes sense since it assures them 2 of the 3 while also assuring we have 1 F and 1 D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) With Eklund being a projected winger, the Quinn pick looks even worse in hindsight as we are about to trade our 2 best centres, and (apparently) pick 2 wingers with KAs first two 1st round picks at 1 and 8 overall. It would be weird to come away with something like (just spitballing): Eichel for Hughes, Comtois, prospect, cap dump Reinhart for Tkachuk and KA’s 1st/2nd last year and 1st overall this year exchanged for 3 wingers.
