Sabres need to draft best player available . Hopefully a forward . But what Adams does is anyone's guess .

Right on. This lottery thing is ridiculous. There are other ways to prevent tanking. Further rules could prevent teams from having more than 3 picks in top 3-5 in a 5 year period--you drop to 6 for example if you had 3 picks in top 5 in last 5 years.. Better minds than mine to work on this but overall I say scrap the damn thing--or you could even put a price on it--first 3 picks must be paid a certain slot value and contracts cannot slide....Get rid of the lottery. There is already an incredible incentive not to tank...angry fans and jobs on the line.
While I’m not against trading the pick for a 2C using the last three 8th overalls they picked as a reason is silly.
Sure is a lot of hang-wringing about Detroit when Marner, Makar and Brady Tkachuk were all #4 overall picks. If you don't get the #1, you can still get an elite player -- unless, of course, you're Tim Murray and pass on Draisaitl.
What an absolute pathetic shitshow lottery. And the NHL wonders why it is a dead league.
We need to move the pick in a trade for a 2c. Make it a blockbuster. Reinhart+#8+Mitts for a 2C+top 6 winger.

Just a reminder to anyone who needs to hear it: Being bad at drafting isn't a good reason to trade a pick.
Raymond was ranked as high as No. 5 and as low as No. 11 by TSN’s scouts.
Perfetti was ranked as high as No. 4 but as low as No. 12
Rossi ranked as high as No. 5 and no lower than No. 10 with the exception of one outlier at No. 18
on the books.
God why couldn't we have won a top 3 pick. Picking 8th AGAIN is just so disheartening.
We've picked 1st overall and 2nd overall TWICE in the past 6 years.
My hope is that when our pick at 8th arrives there are teams who love a player that is still available and they will cough up a good 2C for the pick.
It's happened three times in the past 7 drafts. Staal, Stepan and Cory Schneider.Trades of 1st rounders for NHL roster players rarely happen when the team is on the clock. But, setting that history aside, then we get into what NHL center would be worth the 8OV pick and is it really likely that they would get traded for that pick?
Who would you target for a trade like that?

whom did the Sabres select 1st overall besides Dahlin in the past 6 years? I know the pair of #2 overall picks, but am drawing a blank on the other #1OA.We've picked 1st overall and 2nd overall TWICE in the past 6 years.

ahhh, I re-read and it was my misunderstanding. I legitimately thought you were talking 4 total picks, not three. Sorry.i'm not sure what I wrote is grammatically wrong though i see the issue.
