And I told you guys that falling two spots would haunt us.  
Especially after hearing Forton say there was 6-7 players they liked. 

Boston moved down 2 also in the lottery so they prob still take him

dknt overthink things fkn take the big guy mcqueen

[shrader]

Bruckheimer was so thrilled to be there. I think I heard a whole two different pitches in his voice during that announcement.

I go McQueen. Risky, but the Sabres have no 1C, and he's got that ability (if healthy). They can LTIR either him or Norris and then unleash them both during the playoffs.

Bruckheimer plays hockey, BTW.  Runs a long time pickup with other celebs and ex pros, including Biieber at one point.

I hope the Kraken get life time skid marks at the drafts

Does he have a big injury history? 

[PromoTheRobot]

Botterill didn't get to do everything he wanted to do in 3 years in Buffalo?

[Rasmus_]

Eklund or Bear.  Fk McQueen. 

[IKnowPhysics]

McQueen or Mrtka, likely.  But in Forton I trust.

McQueen wouldn’t be playing in Buffalo for 2+ years so Ltir isn’t an option. NHL stopped that anyway going forward the other day

[GASabresIUFAN]

Trade the darn pick.

[Crusader1969]

Definitely feeling they take Mrtka

Seattle promised him a double up with the Adams-6

Barf.  Forton needs to be chucked into the sun.

Back injury, then a muscle injury during the recovery. Seems to have cleared it at the combine, but it still dropped his top-3 potential down to... at least 9. It's all about whether the medicals clear him. If not, Bear, Smith, or Aitcheson for me.

The Sabres always have a place for a #1 in their lineup this year.

Built in risk, try to capitalize on missed value

They really really should trade this pick 

[shrader]

Very cool islanders. 

[GASabresIUFAN]

ESPN’s draft coverage is awful.
