There is no doubt that the 2016 NHL Entry Draft will be loaded with promising young talent. While there is really only one (maybe two) game-changers in this year’s prospect pool, there are enough players on both sides of the ice who project to becoming top-6 (or top-4) players in the NHL, so the Buffalo Sabres should not be worried about picking up a quality player with the 8th overall pick.
Of course, envisioning a draft in which the Sabres just use their pick is boring, and since we have covered most of the players that we would like to see the team draft, it’s time to discuss a more radical approach, and that is making a blockbuster trade.
