LGR4GM Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 (edited) The most important thing about this trade is how we trade up from 32 to get Adam Jiricek, David's still RHD younger brother. But barring that miracle, here are fun names to watch. Really quickly, since I already know this is coming, all of you who will post "they won't be available or OMG they should be trading the pick and etc..." for some of us it is actually fun to just watch and learn about these prospects even if Buffalo won't get any. Just food for thought. Anyways, let the 2024 draft season begin. Edited August 3 by LGR4GM 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean... you certainly will. The 2024 draft class is pretty solid so regardless of what Buffalo does, you'll hear about some of these guys (Celebrini and Jiricek come to mind) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like you are hoping/expecting that the Sabres will not have a high round first draft pick. However, teams make trades all the time to move up or down in the draft. So ruling out a highly rated player because you are hoping that your team succeeds enough to have a lower pick is short-sighted. The Sabres are at a point where they have accumulated a large number of prospects that can be parlayed for a high draft pick. My point is don't exclude any options on draft day.

Crusader1969 Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 The usual negative Nellys have appeared can there not be a draft thread just to talk about the prospects, regardless of where the Sabres might be picking ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Supposed to be a good draft for defenders, and no matter what happens always teams that will go forward, so expecting some good ones in the 20's still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Collection Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 It’s early, some really good player can fall into the Sabres slot, like Benson just did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasmus_ Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 Definitely a drop off from the depth of the overall draft. There are definitely talented players at the top for sure. Hopefully we'll be picking closer to the 20's than the top 10. However, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader1969 Posted August 15 Report Share Posted August 15 Scott Wheeler released his post Hlinka rankings at the Athletic looks pretty Unanimous that at this point Celebrini and Cole Eiserman are 1 and 2 respectively Cool thing about them is that they are both late Bdays and will be a couple of the youngest prospects available He reiterated what others have said about this draft. In that it’s expected that it’s a relatively dman heavy draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French Collection Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 VO will score 20 goals (3 @ 5v5, 12 PP, 5 EN) in his first 40 games and will be moved for a second rounder as soon as Quinn returns. The 2nd rounder will be bundled with the Sabres 2nd and Bryson at the deadline to a bubble team that end’s up missing the playoffs. Boom, another good 1st rounder coming up. One can wish.
