Now that Mackenzie Blackwood is off my fantasy team, I'm fine with the Devils tanking and they could be a real front runner for No. 1 if they do so.

Yeah I think Buffalo will play their selfs out of first overall which is fine because not many sabres fans want power or Hughes.

I think Beniers would be the best fit for them especially with how he sort of follows their style of play. He would definitely be 2C though and it could force Cozens to the wing. Though Sabres fan may not like it, I'd still be fine with them taking Power or Hughes if they are available.

For some reason they are actually deciding to start playing good right after the get mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

Yeah I like Beniers. You can never have to many centers.

Gotta play for something.
Buffalo, I am sure, would be eyeing Beniers, no?

Next year, but not retroactive. So any previous wins do not count.

I feel like the Devils are one of the only teams (that suck) that are interested in Luke Hughes. The two teams that could be interested in him are the Red Wings and the Canucks

Seattle - regional Hughes rivalry?
Anaheim - best two D-prospects are RHD (Drysdale, Moore)
Buffalo - needs help everywhere

Damn it I forgot about Seattle. They could get him
Anaheim needs offense more than defense
Buffalo probably drafts Beniers or Power

Yeah, I’d think if draft were today

1. BUF - Beniers
2. OTT - Power
3. SEA - Hughes
4. ANA - Guenther
5. NJD - Edvinsson

Maybe Lucius or Clarke in there too.

Beniers is my favorite possibility. Eklund would also be nice, but I think thry would only take Luke Hughes if they drop in the lottery, Beniers and Eklund are gone, and he were still there. The Sabres already have plenty of left side defenders coming up through the system, and they might keep Jake McCabe a little longer. Isn’t Luke Hughes a RD? He might fit in their plans that way.

They need forwards more tho. Outside of JJP and Quinn the forward ranks are all playing in the NHL. At least there are d prospects already in the pipeline with Samuelson, laaksonen, and Johnson with Dahlin, Joki, Bryson, and Borgen already with the big club. Really they could use everything

Bob McKenzie has Edvinsson over Hughes but I would be fine with either.

Luke is a LHD so he would be behind Dahlin. Clarke may be a better option because he's the best RHD. But I agree, Beniers is the best option, especially if Eichel is traded

The rule isn't retroactive but the shame is. I swear I want #2OA just because I'm embarrassed about all our lottery wins and I don't want to be the next Oilers meme team. I'm sure I'll find a way to suck it up if they win again tho.

Hughes can play both sides.
At US NTDP, he was often listed as starter on right side with Hreschuk, but is left-shot.

If Oilers win a cup, no shame, no meme.
Same for us.
