Think I took quite a few guys earlier then they go in the NHL but went for high upside with some picks, hoping I get one or two surprise guys that jump up a round or two.

Also added Kero and Corrado for 2016 picks so ended up adding 15 new players to the Sabres organization. Since I didn't have a pick before the 3rd round I would consider this draft a success if I ended up with 3 or more picks playing 100+ NHL games.

78. Washington (from MON via DET) -- Mitchell Mattson --> 4th round (large variance with him, could be mid second or 4th rounder)
93. Washington (from ANA via CHI) -- Anatoli Golyshev --> 5th round (i'd be happy as long as it's Toronto getting him!)
170. Washington (from COL via CAR) -- Joona Koppanen --> 4th round (He's FInnish! )
171. Washington -- Alexander Polunin --> undrafted (years away, needs to Panarin the KHL)

Lol at giving up a 4th + 5th + 6th for a guy u think goes undrafted...

I think he goes early 5th round.

just spooked , that's all. I"d be very happy at that result

The guy Lee auto-picked for Hong is looking like a steal according to Bob-O

Oh nice, and bobs list are nhl scouts avg consensus rather than what he thinks. I took William lockwood 169th and look like he's a top 3 round guy too.

Also, looks like a few of our firsts will fall pretty hard: pu and abramov.

Goddamnit Lee, that was my guy

I feel like Bob Mckenzies list are "safe"...I get the sense some scouts lie when they are giving him their top 60. They don't want to show their hand before the draft.

I could handle getting 3 1st round picks despite not having any

NASHVILLE Predictions

(#2 BBKL) Patrik Laine = #2 ? (I hope it stays within Winnipeg and Edmonton)
(#10 BBKL) German Rubtsov = #20 Arizona

(#55 BBKL) Adam Fox = #47 Nashville


(#92 BBKL) Lucas Carlsson = #67 Carolina
(#106 BBKL) David Bernhardt= #98 Rangers
(#111 BBKL) Mathias From = #85 Anaheim

(#133 BBKL) Mikhail Maltsev = #110 Islanders

(#179 BBKL) Vojtech Budik = #150 San Jose

(#191 BBKL) Yevgeni Mityakin = #174 Rangers
(#202 BBKL) Mikhail Vorobyov = #104 Philadelphia in 2015
(#203 BBKL) Axel Jonsson Fjallby = #144 Chicago
(#207 BBKL) Artur Boltanov = undrafted


missed out on a couple of targets in the 3rd round as I didn't manage to have any picks there.

Drafting L.Carlsson finished taking care of messing it up big time at last year draft:
- out of 3 Swedish Ds I was interested with at the end of last year draft I picked Younan and Hansson who had a bad season, and Carlsson was the odd man out (went undrafted like in the NHL).
- with pick #102 I was torn between Vehvilainen & Aho and I was like "fuck, goalies are more likely to make a difference in BBKL, at least in terms of market value.." yeah right, fucked myself and obviosly the fix didn't come for free on either case (an early 4th for Carlsson instead of a 7th last year + the Barbashev deal when I could have drafted Aho in the 4th as well).

41. Tampa Bay -- Sam Steel, I can see him going 43rd to Carolina
46. Tampa Bay -- Taylor Raddysh, I think he'd make sense @ 37 or 53rd to Arizona
59. Tampa Bay (from TOR) -- Vladimir Kuznetsov, he won't go this early -> more like 119 to the Blues
guess my 155 is gone,
166. Tampa Bay -- Vladimir Bobylev --> 159 to Buffalo
196. Tampa Bay -- Artur Tyanulin --> Tampa Bay @ 178

Hmmmm no idea all first rounders hopefully. Happy if they all get drafted honestly
