I have a feeling Seattle takes Beniers at number 2. But Eklund isn't a bad consolation prize considering next year Buffalo has a shot at either Wright or Savoie

If Beniers is available at #3 Anaheim's not moving that pick

I think Anaheim rejects that deal there because to give up this years first is already a lot, but also next years first when it very well could be a top 3 pick again in a much better draft is too large of a risk. I like the idea of letting Skinner play in the top 6 and letting the young ones play, but I feel like Buffalo could go out and sign one more bottom 6 piece to help out rn and maybe flip in a trade if needed be.

Sabres decline

Ducko's also decline.

in what world would buffalo pick Beniers over Eklund
