Given that he said that if Ekblad goes 1, then they move on to the next guy on their list, that sounds to me like Ekblad is #1 on the Sabres board.
So, if say Vancouver does move up to take Reinhart, the Sabres would appear to have to not go BPA if they were to take a forward.
I'd love to be in the room if they talk over the scenario that their #1 F goes 1st and they have to decide between their #1 overall (Ekblad) or the BFA who would be 3rd on their board.
