GDT: NHL Entry Draft Day 2, 6/22 1:00PM (NBCSN, NHL-N)

[Ace]

Skinner should have held out until after the draft as he is our only skill winger for the foreseeable future. Could have gotten 11

 

[OkimLom]

Um...yeah, not happy about taking a goalie in the second round. Yuck.

Wasn’t it the 3rd round pick. I’m not listening so I have no clue

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

I'm almost positive we could have gotten Portillo at 122.

 

[paulmm3]

From a quick Google search Portillo's an overager predicted to go around the 7th round. But it's notoriously hard to scout goalies.

 

[Dubi Doo]

You're right. I haven't been watching, and forgot we gave up our second for Skinner.

 

[Gabrielor]

Still had 3 guys i liked in the early second round there...

Puistola, Dorofeyev, and Kokkonen...

 

[Fjordy]

Big elk this Portillo

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Not a fan of this draft so far for the Sabres...at all.

 

[Gabrielor]

I agree with the sentiment that our goalie pipeline needs attention, but not at 67, and not with 2nd round talent still there.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Puistola, Dorofeyev, and Kokkonen...

I think we all had some we’d have preferred.

 

[Gabrielor]

Canes and Kings are picking everyone I wanted...

Our forward prospect list should come with a parental advisory warning

Brett Murray was at Penn State for a bit. We're good to go!

 

[Tatanka]

Sad that we know we will suck next year and in 3 to 5 years as well.

 

[truthbluth]

Sabres had 2 firsts, including a top 10 pick, and I’d trade our entire draft for the Predators draft right now.

 

[CarlWinslow]

If the next pick isn't a scoring forward (assuming there are any decent ones even left) I'm going to snap.

One of these damn reporters should just ask Botteril where the scoring is going to come from. I'm curious as to what he's say.

 

[Tatre]

So what kind of trades are we planning to shore up forwards this summer

 

[Beerz]

Don't worry.....we have Jimmy Vesey on the way...

 

[joshjull]

Don't worry.....we have Jimmy Vesey on the way...

Boom!

 

[Gabrielor]

So what kind of trades are we planning to shore up forwards this summer

Nylander for Vesey

1st-2020 McCabe Pekar for Zucker

etc.

 

[Beerz]

 

[Gabrielor]

Hoping it's another Laaksonen story I guess...

Although, I'm still waiting for Laaksonen to make it here before I call that a win.

 

[HaNotsri]

Puistola was available. Seriously... Portillo must be pretty much guaranteed to become a good starting goalie for this pick to make sense. Did we forget to scout mestis? Flabbergasted.

 

[Ace]

I don’t know if there’s a team I wouldn’t trade draft classes with right now. If you told me one team didn’t have any picks yet I’d still have to think about it

 

[jBuds]

I love how Dom Fensore skates, in case anyone cares
