The Buffalo Sabres are in tricky territory when it comes to the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
Sure, they will probably be able to draft a solid player with the 8th overall pick – we all know that Rasmus Ristolainen was the 8th overall pick, and he is working out quite nicely! – but there is a legitimate concern that the best forwards in the draft will all be gone before Buffalo gets a chance to use that pick.
As a result, we have discussed the idea of the Sabres trading up to the 4th spot, as well as the Sabres trading down in order to grab an extra first-round pick.
