So happy as a Canes fan. Literally almost started crying when I saw the Isles at 11. So many years of disappointment with nothing to look forward to. Svechnikov will actually make our forward group daunting. This team is finally almost complete
Win Ring you guys getting the 2nd pick in this year deep draft will make the metro much more tighter
We got Wahlstrom and Dobson with the 11th and 12th picks.
Look at the brightside....at least the oilers didnt win it again.
Thats really all that matters
For sure.
No offense but the blackhawks too. it woulda been some bullshit if the first time in like 10 years yall miss the playoffs you win a franchise d-man by jumping 8 spots in the lotto.
K.J.M.K. Hawks have only won the lottery once right ?
Not sure, but it doesnt change the fact that besides edmonton, chicago was the last team anyone wanted to see win the #1 pick.
I'm happy for Buffalo. Their fans have suffered long enough.
so true... its not like any other team have never gotten number one pick in last 68 years... oh wait Vancouver canucks... never won 1 number 1 overall pick ever....
The 5th Ace Hey, this is only the 3rd time Sabres got it. We got it our year entering, then in 87, I think. Been awhile.
Professor Fuzzymuffins What fans?
my name is me The ones in Buffalo.
Yah, you guys won the coin flip vs the Canucks in our first year...
congrats sabres fans. you deserve to win one, from a Sens fan
Let's go Canes! We are so thrilled and thankful for this great opportunity!
2:20 that face when you don't pick 1st over all.
Stay strong Canucks fans...7th is pretty good we will still get a good player.
2nd overall!! Quinton Huges!! Lol
Canucks got the best player in the 2018 draft.
Rasmus Dahlin announces his retirement
can he do that? LOL hahahaha
Lol yea buffalo sucks
memoranda1 if he doesn't want his talent down the drain, then yes
But in all seriousness if buffalo can’t get 70 points or more and even do good than they deserve to stay at the bottom for the rest of their lives seriously. You’ve been rebuilding for so long and yet haven’t done any good
Edmonton was trash for several years and since Mc David they have changed. It just takes one player and dahlin could be that player
Man, Dahlin and Ristolainen as your top pair, Ryan O'Reilly and Jack Eichel as your two top centers... Hopefully they get a goalie or Lehner turns it around. After 2015 they deserved this pick too.
Edit: Nearly forgot Middelstadt too... Wow...
Linus Ullmark has been confirmed as one of the two next year goalies
Mittelstadt will be at 2c. O'reilly might be on the block.
JLPr I wouldn't be surprised to see O'Reilly traded in the off season to be honest.
With that cap hit I think he is nearly impossible to move, but also Mittelstadt needs room to develop. Also Ullmark hasn't shown anything special anymore.
JLPr needs room to develop? He had like 5 points in 6 games. Seems to be fine in the NHL pal.
This has to be the best weekend in Buffalo history.. INSANE NFL draft, #1 Pick in the NHL like how could this weekend get any better?? It can't. It literally can't. LETS GO BUFFALO!!
Canes the big winners here, move up from the Dobson range to get Svechnikov.
Thank God Edmonton didn't get 1st
Vanilla Shake How ?
Edmonton didn't ruin it as they had no control on where the balls ended up.
Edmonton have ruined to many first overall picks. McDavid I think is still good though.
The NHL should really stop selecting positioning based on the previous year. They should do a point system based on the last 3 years of each team. This way a good team that had only one bad year won't get a high pick and it will stop teams from tanking because they'll have to tank for more than one year before they eventually get a first overall pick.
- The NHL will do the draft order however they see fit. Granted, your idea might not be so bad( basing the draft order on each team's previous 3 years ). They did that for Sidney Crosby's draft year, well mainly because of the lockout that year so they went with a draft order based on the previous 3 seasons prior for each team.
ckendall67 It's how FIFA selects their team rankings, except they go with the last five years.
I just look at this draft and think that there is no way Montreal should be as high as 3. They finished 14th, 4th, 13th in their conference the last 3 years, yet they have a 3rd overall pick this year. How can they have that without finishing bottom 3 recently?
Jeff T montreal just sucked. They didnt tank at all lol.
yeah this idea is a much better system. IMO teams like the habs and blackhawks had no reason to be as bad as they were this year, and in no way deserve a better draft pick
I'm sorry but montreal deserves that pick. They dont have any depth and the defence was full of top 6 defencemens. The only reason they did well last year was because of Carey Price...
R.I.P. Rasmus Dahlin💀
Rasmussen Ristolainan #8 in 2013, Jach Echiel #2 in 2015, and now prob Rasmus Dahlin #1 in 2018. I'm sorry but they don't deserve this pick for the fact that they can't even make playoffs with so called next best players for their team. Hashtag 60 points or less from buffalo next year 😂
Dahlin might become the next Gilbert Perreault....being on a small market and being overlooked
Oh great the sabres fans get a top defensemen, can't wait to see Crosby go thru him and do another nasty one hander goal.
SteelCityFilms Buffalo missed playoffs 7 years straight and owns the leagues worst record combined since 2013. Mcdavid won Art Ross 2 years straight and can become first player even to win the lindsay twice before 22. which one sounds like where "stars go to die"? lol
Yeah, having Phil Housley as his head coach will be horrible for is career. For all the idiots out there, that was sarcasm
There was a cosmic shift when the Bills ended the drought
Hey Sportsnet, next year don't kill the excitement by announcing the winner in the title of the video!
He had a promising future, I'll pray for him and his family
Feels weird to see the blackhawks in the draft lottery...
I watched this on a TV at Keybank Center with a group of others. Many stayed back from the Bandits game. lost my voice screaming (I wasn’t the only one) and heard roars around the rink. I then hugged a person I didn’t know. lol
Congrats to the Habs for jumping a spot and to Carolina for their draft leap.
this will literally never get old
Bc its gonna be remembered as the pick that saved the sabres franchise
Time for eichel to wine about how dahlin is stealing the spotlight from him and will request a trade
Lololol 15 I never will understand why people have this impression of Eichel
Because he got Bylsma & co fired.
*whine
lol not gonna happen! :)
Tim Murray got Tim Murray fired. And Eichel was one of several players that didn't like Bylsma who had no connection with the team.
#LoseForHughes baby
Devils got Hughes as well
@@AdamDB or maybe they will take Kaapo... a winger would fit better for NJ at the moment
Laffy
Hahaa Hughes sucks
@@harjatalonen3467 Give him time..... He's just a kid.
It's so insane that Edmonton has had so many 1st overall picks and still suck. My poor Canucks have never picked 1st overall EVER. 2019 is the year hopefully.
True Vancouver+KAAPO KAKKO
@@eliaspettersson5317 Kaapo would be sick. I'd settle for Jack too.
@@TonyTreasureHunterNasr true
@@eliaspettersson5317 I really like Byram too but if Canucks don't get in top 3 they likely pick 10-11th and miss him. He might go between 4-8th overall.
Welcome back to why are I watching this
Montreal should get a top 3 pick in every draft year - they invented ice hockey!
AND JUST LIKE THAT, the Toronto/Buffalo rivalry got EVEN BETTER!
No it didn’t lol
@@shawnjohnson4391 This really did NOT age well 💀
Fun fact: if the flames didn't win their last game vs the Knights, then cgy would have gotten the 2nd overall pick. Keep in mind the flames pick goes to NYI.
That's not how the draft lottery works lmao....
Selfish Coffee he’s actually right. Flames pick (NYI) would have been in the Carolina spot and jumped to 2nd
Alternate timeline, the draft coulda been entirely different based on a billion factors. If that happened no guarantees this draft goes to the same 3 teams.
i watched back to the future.. more than once.... and you're wrong K.J.M.K.
If calgary wins any of those games, it could impact the players of the opposing teams resulting in those games also ending in different scores as a result the entire draft board could be different. Also Back to the future was off by a year with the cubs winning the world series, therefore I conclude something happened in the past that affected our future resulting in the cubs winning a year later than the future marty went to.
Oh well. I was a little sad that my Canucks didn't get it, but congratulations for Buffalo on their first overall pick.
I know im from Vancouver too... it sucks this lottery system is rigged.
Are u sad now? Lol. Canucks got the best player of this draft.
hear that? i think it's the sound of thousands of ottowa fans crying out in rage.
Rasmus Duo and the ThirdOveral Trio lol.
Sabers Dahlin
Carolina svechnikov
Montreal Zadina
Montreal: Some French Guy
it either a french or russian
Scottyos for the wins nah they got rid of most of the Russians in ONE season (Markov Emelin Radulov Sergachev)
Habs_ 27 lol kotkaniemi
@@davidhanmin i know right! great pick!
Ayyeeeeeeee wheres all my Sabres Fans at???? #AllInForDahlin Mission Success!
Sabers don't have any fans.
Press F to pay respect
When losing the world juniors is only the second worst thing to happen to you at key bank center
Eichel, Dahlin, Reinhart, Casey, O'Rielly, Ristolainen. It will soon become the most potent offense in the league.
What a shocker this draft lottery definitely wasn’t the same as the others
Good for Buffalo. They can draft an elite defenseman and get this team on the right track.
Can't be to upset about this. Couldn't have trusted bergevin with the 1st overall pick anyways
Pdiviy97 ??
Francis Lavallée why would he trust him now?
Everyone complaining about the lottery until it is your team that wins it. As a Blackhawks fan, 8th isn’t great but it could’ve been worse so I’ll take it 🙂
That's what I like to see!
Years from now you guys will look back and regret taking Dahlin over Svechnikov
Does anyone ever actually witness the dropping of the balls or whatever it is that decides the draft order? It just seems a little suspicious if they just come out of a room and tell us the draft order.
Donna Hedley you can't watch it live but they release the video of the balls dropping plus there's media and others in the room with them
Seriously, does everything have to be a conspiracy theory with hockey fans?
Donna Hedley n
We cant but each team can have a representative in the room if they want. The sabres choose not too tho given the last 2 times they did and they lost lol
Donna Hedley last year they had the video and showed all the gm in the room as the balls were selected
Canucks still got a shot at Dobson or Hughes. Not as good as Boqvist or Bouchard (right now) but with their size they could end up better!
Let's Go Buffalo
Maybe I can see the sabers in the playoff :D
something is wrong.. what the hell happened? Oilers didn't get first pick O.o
Edmonton didnt win 2016 2017 or this year.....? What's the problem?
2015 got McDavid. The hockey gods are fickle Buffalo trades away and or benches any players standing between them and Losing after the trade deadline of 2015. Hockey Gods give pick to Edmonton playing above 500 after deadline.
Always thought Buffalo would get Dahlin. Idk how to put it but, it just felt like he was meant to be a sabre.
*LETS FREAKIN GOOOOO!*
Exciting. Hope dahlin is a game changer. We’re desperate for a d man of this caliber. Hope Allen is the guy btw
Bills got their Qb we've gotten a really good young LB Kyle Williams 2.0 a Wide Receiver and Sabres got Rasmus Dahlin Awesome Week Lets Go!!!
BuffaloMafia716 Sabres gonna look back and regret not taking Svechnikov
5:31 That's a BOLD guarantee there. What if one of the top 3 busts? Bill Daly either has a crystal ball or really jinxed someone in top 3
I hope they’re all busts
Butthurt Rangers fan lol
It's a 90 mile jaunt on the QEW for the Sabres to be in person for this.
Welcome dahlin, your new team is Sabres
Jim Benning, Pierre Dorian, Marc Bergevin!!!! UrinatingTree help me out. Don't forget Peter whatever from the oilers
canucks never got number 1 pick ever in NHL history.... ever
The 5th Ace That's really sad
Go HABS!
Sabers getting Dahlin is great for hockey. Love a good leafs sabers rivalry
I forgot the Carolina hurricanes existed
I wonder what player the Buffalo Sabres are going to pick.
NHL Draft Lottery = Vancouver Drop Lottery 😒
5:10 should've been the words "TWO HOURS LATER" put up. literally. why have everyone wait?? i hope they never do that again.
Can someone tell me how the draft lottery works?
Sabres in playoff contention next year? I'll say maybe they will sneak in as a wildcard. Assuming they draft Dahlin which they most likely will.
No excuse not to. If they are in the lottery again they deserve the same level of hate with Oilers being in the lottery this year. If you can't build a playoff team with Eichel, Reinhart (2 2nds) and Dahlin (1st) and your multiple 8th then the team should just fold. (yeah that goes to the Oilers as well).
Wouldn’t that yet even will Dahlin I believe they need one more Defensemen also with him and Ristolainen to turn the defense around
I can’t believe they skipped the Montreal Canadiens, I was yelling so loud
Finally. Pissed the Rangers screwed up but aye good for Buffalo
Now Buffalo has Nylander, middlestadt, ullmark and now Dahlin
And still hasn’t made the playoffs since 2011. lol
Jbot was as smooth as a gangster when they flipped the number 1 card
How did they know that 12th Pick was the Flames pick? Until we know the 11th pick we have no way to know which of Brooklyn or Calgary that 12th pick was
Wow another top pick for the sabres will they ever get better
This is the first time they drafted first overall since the draft lottery's been introduced.
Good for Buffalo. RIP wings
R..I.P DAHLIN.ZADINA,SCESHNIKOV..
Yeah... Svech helped make Carolina good.
Why don't they show the lottery selection and not just the results? Is everyone supposed to just take their word for it?
NHL usually publishes video of the whole process afterwards. Don't think watching that live would be that interesting unless you can watch the combination directly. Here's the lottery itself: www.nhl.com/video/inside-the-draft-lottery-drawing/t-277350912/c-60176003
Oh awesome, thanks man
Survivor: NHL Edition
It's now 49 years, the entire history of the Canucks franchise that they have NEVER won a 1st overall draft pick. They even lost the coin flip in 1970 to Buffalo who got Gilbert Perrault first overall. Then the Oilers get FOUR 1st picks between 2010 and 2015.The only 1st pick they had they traded Bryan McCabe to get in order to swing the deal to acquire the 2nd & 3rd picks to get the Sedins. It will be a historic day when Vancouver finally wins the lottery...50 years?...60?
If any team wants that third pick, Bergevin is looking to trade for a couple of washed up 4th liner. But they must have "character" and the right "attitude".
way to go jason. Michigan and Harvard. not bad. ...wrb
I remember reading somewhere that the Sabres could have drafted both McDavid and ekblad naturally, but they traded their picks. Correct me if I'm wrong RUclips .
They didn't trade the picks. They just lost the draft lotteries so they settled for Sam Reinhart and Jack Eichel at 2nd overall in those years.
We got robbed in 2015, bout time the Sabres got it.
James too bad buffalo will ruin him
CujoF17 time will tell
Batflip 09 atleast oilers is going somewhere with their franshise.. i'm not trying to hate on buffalo because it would be nice to see them succeed.. but they have been going nowhere for many years now..
Where 'getting robbed' in 2015 still got you Eichel. Oh the HORROR! >_>
u guys got 2 number 1 picks in last 10 years.... Vancouver canucks haven't ever gotten number 1 pick in the last 70 years.... lmao
I'm so happy Dahlin goes to Buffalo
Risto and Dalhy !! Watch out boys 😄
Guess they seen the playoff TV ratings for Buffalo and figured they gotta get Dahlin over their so they will have something to watch.
Real happy for them. They've been in the shitter for so long.
Eichel, Dahlin, Ristolainen, and Middelstadt... Now I know why all the sour grapes from other nhl fan bases.
Nice for Carolina.
Rasmus Dahlin, left defenseman.
Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2042.
Played in the NHL between 2018-2038.
9 Norris trophies.
5 Hart trophies
Led all defenseman in scoring 11 times.
1 Gold medal at the Olympics.
2 Gold medals at the World Championships.
*0 Stanley cups*
Buffalo gets justice with the #1 pick. Now... GET A GOOD PLAYER!
So can someone explain to me why Carolina and Montreal immediately got locked into a top 3 spot? I don't really know the rules
Lets go Rangers..
Poor Dahlin :( his career is over before it even began lol. Congrats Buffalo
You don't know hockey
says the idiot who cant even type "hockey" properly
Chad B Bold claim. Prove it.
The 5th Ace love that he edited it after you pointed out how stupid he is
Why? Because he went to a bad team? All those teams are bad, at least Sabres have decent young talent.
Let’s go canes!!!!!!!
Rip Dahlin
SoCalSportsFan 27 The L brother and btw the yankees are killin the a's rn
Big Tyrone....Done!!!!
Canucks shafted for third year in a row.
why is washington never in it? sorry iam from belgium, i dont get the draft...
First picks goes to the teams, that didn't make it to the play-offs.
Washington tends to get on the play-offs, so that's why they don't get top picks.
thanks a lot for the explanation
They actually did win it in 2004, though. They took Ovechkin with that pick. In 2006 and 2007, they were also in the lottery but they didn't win (they took Nicklas Backstrom 4th in 2006 and Karl Alzner 5th in 2007). Since then, they've been a playoff team so they haven't been in the draft lottery. (Everyone was in the 2005 lottery because there was no season that year).
Please give the Kings the 1st pick tomorrow hockey gods....
Tom Bauer Lol
Stop saying Buffalo got robbed in 2015, they only had a 25% chance of winning the lottery
The Edmonton Oilers might trade their pick
I think I'm 782 of these views
Dude, they don’t care who they get. The only thing they care about is a paycheque at the end of the day.
Come on sportsnet no spoils in the title
Carolina honestly deserved him more due to advanced statistics
GS StopClock I agree, I'm a Pens fan and was hoping Carolina would get him. They are the only team in the league right now that are built for him to come in and grow with thier current roster.
agreed as well, their team is full of young guy, would be nice for them to fight for a playoff spot next year.
William Stewart I was so excited when I saw they had a chance. It really sucks they didn’t get him
Carolina will be deadly next year. Schevnikov will save the franchise like Crosby did to Pittsburgh.
The atlantic just got more difficult for the Leafs.
Damn why did it have to be a team that absolutely sucks this is not good for Dahlin's development as a player
They should finally be good
draft system is a joke
Mattix no it's a lotterie to draft a good player 😄
