The 2025 Draft Thread

At the end of the season we'll have the 8th OA pick.

Then at the lottery we'll get jumped by two teams and end up with 10th overall.

So I'm not going to spend much time looking at top 6 type players.

Jackson Smith? Victor Eklund? Roger McQueen? McQueen or Eklund could be there at 8th.

I'd be upset about the Sabres ruining their shot at a top 3 pick with a late season string of wins, but I'm convinced they'll just ruin whoever they draft anyway. So it doesn't matter if it's Misa or Eklund, we're going to ruin them either way.

They did just drop six in a row. It's not like they're making some hero run.

On the flip side of that you are only looking at 3-4 wins and moving from 4th to 8th. On top of that Buffalo has 2-3 games in hand against the other bottom feeders.

San Jose and Chicago and 1-2 thats a given but Buffalo could easily be picking anywhere from 3 to 6-7 or even 8-9 if the lottery goes against them. I think its safe to assume Buffalo finishes bottom 7 but where.

For fans keeping track at home I think its important not to forget games played and not just look at points.

I could easily see them draft in the 6 to 7 range, they have a lot of games in hand to teams ahead plus there is also the lottery which could move them back 1 spot.
they are not as bad as the real bottom dwellers and if the pressure falls off they usually string together some wins like the last 2.

Over the last 10 games, Nashville (30th) has 11 pts, the Sabres (29th) have 7 pts, Philly (28th) have 5 pts, Seattle (27th) have 11 pts, and Pittsburgh (26th) have 11 pts.

So, the only team in that 3-7 pre-lottery range that the Sabres have outplayed over the last 10 games is Philly.

The Sabres are so up and down that I doubt they are going to get more than 16-18 points over the last 16 games. That could keep them in 4th pre-lottery with Nashville moving up past them and Philly dropping below them into that 3rd spot pre-lottery.
