So, today was day one of the two day NHL draft. Buffalo took the tallest player they could find by making an odd trade for the #12 spot from Los Angeles moving up exactly one position from #13 spot in return the Kings get a 3rd round pick in the 2009 draft. Hmmm, ok. Anyways... Tallest player, just like a certain Buffalo football franchise took the tallest WR this last NFL draft. I think the fans in Buffalo have spoken and what they have said is, please make the team taller.
The real reason for this post was to reflect upon past Sabre drafts... like Taro Tsujimoto back in 1974. I bet Taro wasn't six foot seven, the fans of today would not have approved. It sure would have made the draft more entertaining though. Snooze...
