The Buffalo Sabres are currently slated to pick sixth in what is widely considered the weakest NHL Entry Draft class in years. The needs for the Sabres remain the same as last season - a couple of top four defensemen, scoring wingers and a hefty injection of skill and pace across the board.
The Draft is still a couple of months away and this is not a bad thing this year because the Buffalo front office is in turmoil with no GM or Head Coach in place yet. However, the usually-anticlimactic Lottery to determine the order of the top three picks will be held tonight.
