Can't disagree with his explanations. My hope is Buffalo has the same top 3 as he does, although Hanifin is fine too. But I definitely would want one of those 4.

If you are talking about the move to one and think it would take Reinhart who do you value more him or Risto. Just curious as an Oil fan as if we were at 1 and you were at 2 I would hands down accept 2+Risto for 1 and might even add on our side.
I would gladly sprint up to the podium and select Jack Eichel with the number 2 pick.
Thought so just chimed in since I wasn't sure and the only player the Oil would really look at on your team is Risto as we lack RD but are stacked at LD, wing, and centre in the hypothetical case where we end up with McEichel, RNH, and Draisaitl.
Hypothetical scenario: Sabres finish 30th with the Coyotes in 29th. Sabres win the draft lottery. Maloney calls Murray and offers the 2nd pick and OEL for #1. If you're Murray what do you do?

I say yes, then run to the podium to select Jack Eichel.
I honestly don't even find it semi realistic.

If Eichel is that good. Saying yes would probably put the sabres in the playoffs the next year.
IMO there is a lack of "high-end" offensive players on the team and in the pipeline. Would anyone be upset if the Sabres ended up picking 3rd, that they drafted Strome or Marner instead of Hanifan?

Fantastic read on Eichel from USCHO:

yes. OEL is a top 10 D-man in this league and is bordering on the top 5. OEL gives us arguably the best young core in the league. Just think about this in like 4 years:
Some guy-Eichel-Ennis
Kane-Reinhart-Girgensons
Foligno-Larsson-Fasching
OEL-Ristolainen
Zadorov-Bogosian
McCabe-Pysyk

Thanks. Interesting. Also interesting to see Button drop Hanifin so much. I haven't give Strome much thought...but I guess I could be made to see the light.
I am basically down to those 4 guys, I like Marner but I have no interest in taking a W with this high of a pick when a big talented C and a D like Hanifin is available.
Basically every big skilled C drafted in the top 5 has turned into a stud in the last decade.
The only place you can really find big top line C is in the top 5 end of the draft.

I've gotta believe Strome will be the pick if we should end up choosing in that place we don't talk about. Hanifin is a great player but we need the elite center so much more.
Pray for losses. Ten of them. Consecutively.
