Behind-the-scenes at the 2014 NHL Draft. See what the Buffalo Sabres Hockey Department discussed and what went into selecting Sam Reinhart with the top pick.
Sabres fans should be very ecstatic that you got both Sam Reinhart and now Jack Eichel. Sam Reinhart was bar none the smartest player in his draft. While he's not the most dynamic and physically gifted player that will pop out on your TVs, Sam beats you up with his mind. He has an uncanny ability to make everyone around him better. He also makes things look a lot easier because he's always in the right position, to make the right plays without doing all the fancy schmancy stuff. If you watched the World Juniors when Canada won gold, the best line on that team was not McDavid's line, it was Reinhart, Domi, and Duclair. Is it any coincidence that Reinhart centered that line and they happened to be the best line? Nope. Sam and Jack will lead Buffalo to new heights. Get ready.
Turned out to be a very good 65-70 pt winger. We really needed him to be that top 6 centre though. As long as they find one asap it won't be the end of the world. Draisaitl would have been nice but that's fine. It panned out. Just glad we didn't take Bennett. The flames should look at it tho like at least we didn't take dal colle. That one was the bust of that draft. A lot of the better players after the top 3 went a little later on in that round.
Draft combine is useless. I mean last year, a guy couldn't even do more then 5 pull ups and I am sure he's a heck of a player. He ended up being a top 5 pick or something
Missed on draisaitl big time
OMFG! Did Timmy smile for a second there at the end? (Watches 2nd time) He did! There's a first time for everything!
Love these videos.
Like Samson alot but Leon was the Big hitter that we missed on
this makes me so pumped for this season
For what ? McDavid? Haha us sabres fan have nothing else to hope for this year
tell me about it haha. hopefully our boys can turn it around
Slow B im sick of watching this team lose, they are making horrible mistakes
Drake Pelton How the fuck are we losing this bad, getting 12 shots a night and getting shut out by the leafs... embarrasing

I wonder who went #3...
When we all thought he was going to be a center.

OneTimer unless you’re Rasmus Dahlin who committed 11 pull-ups today
Maybe Casey Middlestadt
A smart german!!
Kind regards from good old Germany!!
This year we add connor mcdavid n 3 years the Buffalo sabre s win the cup
yes
I got his jersey already
I put eichel 15 on my sabres blue home jersey do you think I picked the right number.
you sure he wont pick 19 after cody hogson bought out.where you live in buffalo
he prefers low numbers I don't think it will be 90 either 15 or 19. hodgson will bought out hope jack can be the LeBron james of hockey.
Next Year, not this one.
