When the Buffalo Sabres offseason began there felt to be two guarantees before the NHL Draft. We would be guaranteed one of the two top forwards in recent memory and a new head coach would lead them.
The Sabres had the second pick in the 2015 NHL Draft handed to them with the Edmonton Oilers winning the lottery. Some fans may have thought they won it anyway with the signing of Dan Bylsma as head coach. With that decision made the next choice for GM Tim Murray surrounds the draft.
Not the second overall pick.
