If we do end up dropping into a good pick

The end of year goaltending stats will be horrific.

And maybe will become the theme of the offseason, and perhaps even a source of change.

There’s an outside chance of getting below Buffalo and landing at #4, pre-draft. Blues schedule appears to be more daunting the rest of the way than Buffalo’s.

Schafer and Hagens probably come off the board 1-2, but a consolation prize of Misa, Desnoyers or Frondell would be very, very nice inside the top-5 even if some team pushes us down with a lottery win.

Don’t forget Martone. I’d probably prefer a center, but man, Martone is a monster.

Sabres up 3-0 on NJ. Go Sabres !

If the Sabres win today, which seems very likely, we will only have three more points than the fourth worst team in the league. This is genuinely our best shot so far for a super high pick during this rebuild. Finishing 4th worst would give us a 9.5% chance at 1st overall and a 9.5% at 2nd overall.
I fully believe we should start selling any player that is not going to be a part of a potential contending team for us in a couple years. This roster was given a fair shot at making the playoffs. We even acquired Fowler to boost our chances. They failed and it is apparent now that this team will not make the playoffs. The last thing we want now is for us to go on another run and end up with a pick between 13-16. We should start selling and calling up young talent to avoid this.
