2020 NHL Draft

The Sabres world is very sour on the Pegulas, and it’s swung to such an extreme that EVERY move is treated with distrust. Kevyn Adams is, therefore, assumed to be a fu€< up until proven competent.

The Staal trade moved the needle in his favor. Of course we’re a few years away from knowing his draft prowess. But I have to admit that I’m giving him credit for being his own man, and not the owners’ lackey.

I know one thing for certain: the Sabres have decent pipeline depth everywhere except for high end wingers. If both Quinn and JJP hit, then they are set there as well.

 

I’m not sure. I think there is a pretty narrow difference between Drysdale and Sanderson. The jury is out, and I think we’ll need a few years before we know which one is better. But both were top 10 prospects in my opinion.

 

of course, tbd. time will tell.

i hate immediate draft grades. 3-4 years later at minimum to grade out.

 

Broonz just took BC kid Trevor Kuntar. he was passed over in last year's draft.

 

Trevor is a WNY boy so we can presume he’s true blue&gold. Gudun, Matty!

 

So the leafs got 2 guys that many expected to go late 1st-early 2nd. for a guy that was expected to go in the 3rd. I'll take it.

 

After their first 3 picks i was really hoping Detroit was gonna pick the entire Swedish WJC team.

Red Wings draft Kienan Draper, son of four-time Stanley Cup champ Kris Draper... didnt know Cris Draper had a son... good to hear.

 

agree with Cole Caulfield. wrong organization got him though.

 

Nashville just traded for Luke Kunin and then drafted Luke Evangelista, Luke Prokop, and Luke Reid.

 

What the Luke!

Good luke with that, Nashville!
