Especially with Nemec, Jiricek and a couple forwards I would prefer still on the board. Edited January 30, 2022 by Flashsabre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a 0% chance Buffalo drafts 2 lhd and Owen Puckering at 20 is exceedingly overdrafted. I know places that rank him that high but he's overrated. Worst mock I've seen There is 0% chance Buffalo takes Yurov over Nemec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamoureux isn't good, he's just big. Beck is good and could slide to wing in the nhl if needed. Edited January 30, 2022 by LGR4GM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've loved the idea of a RHD with the top pick for a couple of weeks BUT now im thinking grabbing a guy like Nemec at 5-8 may not be the best idea long term You have Dahlin as your top paid Dman and Power as your 2nd pair. Both are offensive Dmen and maybe the Sabres be better served playing with guys who put their defensive responsibilities first? You could grab a forward with your top pick and then look at RHD with one of the other first round picks. Maybe Jiricek falls a bit due to his injury or guys like Ryan Chesley (24th- consolotated rankings), Tristan Luneau (29th Consolidated), Maveric Lamoureux (29th Bob Mckenzie), or Elias Salomonsson (27th consolodated)?

As for goaltending, expecting at least 1 of the 3 lottery tickets will hit. Will one? Won't know for sure for a while, but at this point it seems more likely than not.

If that's your concern take Jiricek, although Nemec has more offense currently. I personally really like Jiricek and I'm sad he's injured. He's more of a physically imposing defender.

If this injury lets Jiricek slip a few slots to the Sabres, am OK with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 The more I watch the more I'm Convinced this team needs to consider a major overhaul to that right side. Jokiharju is not a #1 pairing guy. Jiricek and Nemec are still 2 guys I'm seriously hoping to draft depending on if there's a forward available. We need rhds in the pipe and we need them this cycle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Alright I used the consolidated rankings (up until it says 29, because they only go to 32) to make this easier and then roughly put in the other RHDs of interest that fell outside of that. I tried to rough out where they should be drafted by round for the non consolidate guys. I haven't read up or watched much or anything on a chunk of these guys but at this stage the consolidated rankings and their production give us a decent feel. I think some of them are overrated in that consolidated but whatever. Edited February 2, 2022 by LGR4GM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
