bbb Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 2015 is the final draft where this is the case. Beginning with the 2016 draft, the top three picks will be awarded by a lottery. Who cares? We're winning the Stanley Cup in 2016! LOL
bbb Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Costly win today. WTF Sabres!................Carolina looks like they are going to be trouble - they have not won a friggin game yet!
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Costly win today. WTF Sabres!................Carolina looks like they are going to be trouble - they have not won a friggin game yet! WHAT!!! are thought we were the worst team, friggin Sabres better get their act together by losing closely with improved play by the youngsters!
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Costly win today. WTF Sabres!................Carolina looks like they are going to be trouble - they have not won a friggin game yet! What is it with the Sabres and San Jose... They always do well against them, home or away... Or seems like they do well. Is it because we should have had a team in 1967 w/the first expansion of the NHL after the O-6? Oakland/California Golden Seals took the BFLO team that should have come into The League in '67. We had to wait 3 years and the team in the Bay Area folded anyway! I guess they got the Sharks to the south now. Don't sharks eat seals. Seems the Sabres eat both.. Historically it has seemed that way, I don't know their actual W-L-T record.
Alaska Darin Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 What is it with the Sabres and San Jose... They always do well against them, home or away... Or seems like they do well. 13 straight wins against the Sharks. At this point it's almost unbelievable.
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 13 straight wins against the Sharks. At this point it's almost unbelievable. Ha! Until they meet them in The Finals one day. Then, all will go horribly wrong!!! ;-)
JM57 Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 2015 is the final draft where this is the case. Beginning with the 2016 draft, the top three picks will be awarded by a lottery. Good point. I kind of forgot about that because I expect Murray to wheel and deal like a fiend starting at the 2015 Draft to bring in more proven veteran talent to play around the new core, and the team should be out of the basement for 2015-16. Probably not a playoff contender as the kids will still need to grow, but better than last place.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 @TheHockeyNews Junior phenom Connor McDavid made a puck explode today. Be afraid. Be very afraid. http://bit.ly/1FTR3gt
Mark80 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 If the Sabres don't get this kid, It is going to be a major letdown. I dont think i can stress how big of a letdown it would be. I don't get why people assume that we are going to get him. At best, we have a 20% chance if we finish with the worst record in the league. Add to that whatever % chance the Islanders and Blues pick is (heck, they both may make the playoffs giving us 0% additional chance) and it is still a sub 40% chance to get him. We should be getting more excited about how good Eichel is looking. We finish worst, and don't get the #1, he is an awesome consolation prize and one of the best "second best" prospects in a draft in a long time.

That's why finishing dead last is so important. it guarantees McDavid or Eichel. Even though they would have a 20% chance of the 1st pick finishing last, they still would have the best odds.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 @JeremyWGR "A few NHL scouts today believe Eichel could step in and be a No. 1 center this season.” http://espn.go.com/n...a-lamp …

May Day 10 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 38 points in 13 games. Erie is 12-0-1. On pace to set the OHL record for points (on pace for 199)
Canadian Bills Fan Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Dear Buffalo, Your welcome. From Canada lol j/k but I really hope Buffalo gets him! CBF
26CornerBlitz Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 More McDavid Magic: http://fat.gfycat.com/JoyfulWhichEmu.mp4
26CornerBlitz Posted October 31, 2014 Author Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Here's a chance to watch Jack Eichel play tonight vs Providence: http://www.coxhub.co...en-night-at-7pm The Connor McDavid-Jack Eichel sweepstakes Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel, the top prospects in the 2015 draft, are off to great starts in their draft year. McDavid plays center for the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League, while Eichel is a freshman center with Boston University. The team that finishes last this season will get one of them, regardless of what happens in the draft lottery. The bottom five teams have a good chance of winning the lottery.

bbb Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Friggin Canes aren't going to win and game - and we're going to end up with neither! It's hard to believe a team is worse than us - in the standings, at least.
bbb Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Nice to see Carolina win two games finally. Sabres screw up by winning themselves, though! St. Louis goes on a 5 game winning streak, but the Islanders keep moving down.

St. Louis goes on a 5 game winning streak, but the Islanders keep moving down. Carolina's getting healthier with Eric Staal and Jeff Skinner back in their lineup. Eventually, Jordan Staal will also be back. Bottom line is the Sabres are a far worse team than the Hurricanes and that will show in the standings relatively soon.

Plus the Sabres will unload at the trade deadline, I don't see Carolina dumping all their talent, they have a pretty good core.
