Poll: What Do You Do with a Number Like Nine?

[DarthEbriate]

Not to be confused with the Draft thread and discussions. This is simply: What would you do with the 9th overall selection?

[LGR4GM]

Should trade it for a top 4 rhd. This team has awful defense outside Dahlin.

Yup -- I think that is the toppermost priority (with goalie variance from year-to-year).

I voted to make the pick because I believe if they're dead set on moving Byram then he can attain the RHD without also adding in #9. (If you were to package Byram+9 you'd better be getting... McAvoy/equivalent + a pick in return, and that'd be silly from an opposition perspective.)

Was listening to the Barenaked Ladies children's album (Snack Time) recently and I think the answer is there. 

The Sabres won't have the pick. 9 will be GONE. 

You know why? Because 7-8-9.

Trade this pick.  It doesn't have to be for a defenseman (although that is preferable).  But trade it.  The Sabres don't need roster help for 2029.

[Mr. Allen]

You did this already.  🙂

You let that number get the neck surgery it wants and you sign veteran defense and goaltending to keep that number happy.
