Don't know how I feel about this. Three spots is a LOT.

If he ends up trading the 1st in a deal for an NHLer, I really like it.

I get that. We lose the first anyway and hang on to an extra second.

Or maybe we move both for something?

This is the way. Now he can move that second and a first, and still have a top-60 pick in the draft.

PICK SWAP!!!!

 

[Samsonite23]

Most people agree that there is a very strong top 15 guys in this draft. Whether we use the pick or move it, I like it either way. Better chance of drafting MBN while adding a pick in top half of the 2nd.

Mike Grier is getting stuff done!

Gotta think the Sabres moved back for a guy like MBN

Chapter 32 - Buffalo Sabres - "What not to do"

Strange to make that trade before you’re on the clock and know what players you’re passing over. I wonder if this trade is a precursor to something else where they use the added draft capital to bring in a player?

Would seem so, unless they are very sure MBN will be there at #14. That's a bit of a risk though.

Solberg

Solberg

At 14OA, I think I'd be fine with that.

 

[jc17]

If Iginla or Buium makes it to 11 I'll be disappointed now, but hopefully its part of something bigger.

 

[Fjordy]

MBN
Solberg
Chernyshov
Hage

But in theory, someone could drop out there that we don't expect at 14.

 

[Kublakhan]

more garbage picks,way to go Sabres!! The red-headed stepchild of the NHL

 

[jc17]

MBN
Solberg
Chernyshov
Hage

I like Hage too. Seems like a couple people are high on him, but consensus is in the 20s. He could be a sneaky steal

 

[CowbellConray]

I think MBN will be there at 14.

If they come out of draft night with MBN and Necas for 2 2nds and Rosen, that’s a win

I <3 Buffalo, but yeah- players aren't lining up to come here until we turn this thing around. It's why if we want any big additions (3rd line C, Top-6 W, and a top-4 D) it'll need to be through trade. Hopefully, he can give a bit more to those gritty 4th line guys in FA, and they decide to come here.

Winning is the only thing that'll cure that, so don't you dare sit on your hands this offseason, Kevyn! Also, reading the breakdown of his interview, it sounds like there is some potential movement in the coming weeks. I'm not going to blow my load over his sentiments in regard to trades falling through, but I understand why fans are tired of that lip service.

The only reason players don't come here is incompetent management,

Adams and Co. get excellent value in a trade, again. Sabres Twitter melts down, again. Life is beautiful.

I figured the Sharks must be flush with picks to give away a 2nd so cheaply, but they're really not. Only an extra 1st and 2nd now. I think Grier might be looking to double his BU connection at 11...

Either we have a tier of draftees that extends to 14 so we don't need to see who is available, or we're trading picks for players. I can't imagine a scenario where 14 wouldn't land about the same player trade as 11, so it could end up as a sneaky bit of arbitrage by Adams. Still swap the 1st for a player but come away drafting two 2nds.

Or we're trading one or both 2nds. Funny trivia that we have two pairs of consecutive picks now, 42 & 43 and 108 & 109.
