Murray not being moved suggests Mike Smith treatment which means can spend up to 16 mill

And hey the 8 year not drafting Canadians in the 1st round streaks over

Not gonna lie I thought Toronto was gonna do what they did last year with Mrazek

But since they didnt that suggests to me Murray goes to LTIR

Hopefully Willander gets paired with Hutson if Hutson is at BU next year. Could make a sick pairing (I’m coping a little less now)

This wasnt a Tree pick as I doubt he had time to prepare. That pick was a Wes Clarke Special

He did this last year with Minten. A little reach who you could trade down for but didnt want to risk it





Having a good playoffs and competition can often do wonders for a guys draft stock these days it seems. Started in 2022 now we seeing more

I feel like this is a big enough reach that they definitely could have traded down for. Only player in the first round that I audibly said "who?"

Thats why I call it a Wes Clark special

As its like hey draft this guy

But we can get him later

No no he will be gone

Fine

He's done this twice (Minten + Cowen). Starting to lean towards saying go join Dubas in Pitt and bring in someone new and fresh as while im not saying either picks bad why not risk it and try trading down Wes its not hard. Forgot who he replaced but that guy was so much better.

As lets be real this was not a Tree pick. As Tree just got here what 2 weeks ago and has his hands full with other negotiations rn

He probs leaned heavily to the head scout for that pick which is why he said u say the name I dont want to lul

I'm a bit upset, but it was very predictable. Biggish Swedish 2 way right handed defenseman vs small skilled winger. This pick could be seen a mile away.

It’s a great time to be a Sabres fan. They will have all the pieces you need to win a cup

Benson will be a steal just like Caufield where people will wonder why their team passed on him

I hope Nashville enjoys the pick today that Hextall gave them for Granlund… 🤢
