The Buffalo Sabres will not have the first pick in tonight’s 2022 NHL Entry Draft, but going into the Draft General Manager Kevyn Adams will go in with an unprecedented three picks - 9th, 16th and 28th.
Listening to GMKA speak we don’t get the impression that the Sabres will be doing too much wheeling and dealing, and certainly not throwing away lottery tickets in the hope of picking up soon-to-be rental players.
In all Buffalo has 11 total picks in the draft this year, and it’s quite unlikely the Sabres will use every one of those to add a player to the pipeline.
