buffalo is in desperate need of high end talent. we will not move back 11 spots just to move on from Okposo, especially when we take Anisimov. We have 30+ million in cap space

No way Buffalo considers that. Ottawa doesnt need Drysdale, they should just take Rossi at 5

I think Nashville considers it but not Buffalo.

Why would Ottawa draft Drysdale? They need some high end forward prospects. Sens used a 1st rd pick on a RD in the past two years and a 2nd rd pick in 2018 as well. They already got Chabot and Brannstrom. No need to use a top 5 pick on a defenseman given the offensive talent in this draft. I'm not familiar with the 2021 draft class but the Sens will probably have another top 10 pick and could use it on a defenseman if they want to add to that position
