Another home run draft for the GMKA team. Some luck having Benson drop to 13 and a little unlucky not be able to trade back into the first round to snab Musty.

Grade: A

 

[Jim Bob]

Apparently Matthew Fairburn drove the 13 hours to cover the draft. Props to him for that.

 

[Weltschmerz]

great draft overall, picked some german munster to close it out, I like that

The were trying to move up for Wahlberg (per KA), got him anyways just like Kulich last season

 

[truthbluth]

I could listen to Jerry Forton talk about prospects for literal hours.

 

[debaser66]

He's a big Rocky IV fan.

that USSR style interview with the shady translator seems to enforce this rumor

where ?

 

[Weltschmerz]

They have been shit at drafting for a long time, feels really good now to see fans of other teams how they love what they do.

When you’re hung over and you spend a few seconds wondering why Sabres PR is grading the draft picks so poorly…

Didn't know he drives so slowly.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

not sure if anyone posted this but Minnesota used the Sabres pick from the Greenway trade to take Riley Heidt

Great circle route...... went over both Poles too.. chuckles......

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Just realized we drafted no Russians this year. Shocked I am saying this but that's weird...

Oh I noticed.... I noticed....

They had a good draft this year. I would pencil in Buffalo in that second tier of "winners" on day 0.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

is that construction around Columbus done yet btw ?

takes us about 12 to Nashville with a hour meal break, we take our time, pretty flat drive until you get to Cinci

 

[WhereAreTheCookies]

I'd love to see Buffalo go after Matthew Ward (SC) in the 7th. Undersized, but a top scorer in the WHL and towards the top of the league in PIMs.
Kai Uchacz (RD) is an overage that was lights out last year. Some reward or worst case two guys that will pay big minutes in Rochester.

Look up the history for Uchacz. Kid used racial slurs and waved a banana in his own teammates face. After the Miller fiasco with Boston, no one wants that heat. Not at all suprised he wasn't touched by any team.

Panocha - Wikipedia ?

It looks like the wiki pulls references from here in the 505. The last paragraph is essentially what is meant. If you won't go a guy your size your friends would call you a p***y. So just like p***ys be cowards panocho would be interchangeable.

edit: feel free to delete

[HOOats]

Is Suchanek free to sign with a team now after going undrafted again? Let's sign him for 2 years and stick him in Jacksonville.

I am surprised the Sabres didn't sign him after the prospect challenge
