It’s the penultimate weekend in June, it’s the last day of school for most Western New York teachers, and that means it’s finally time for the 2016 NHL Draft!
The Buffalo Sabres hold the eighth overall selection, and will have their pick of talented forwards to choose from. For those hoping for a defenseman...well, that might be a little more difficult, with the clear-cut top two expected to go before pick eight. But this is the draft, and crazy things are bound to happen, so you never know who might be available.
This will also be a crazy draft for the Vegas Golden Knights, who own picks #6, #13, and #15.
