Some really interesting stuff...

The Sabres were locked into Ristolainen as their first pick. One of their guys freaked out when Nashville's Finnish scout walked up with their entourage to pick at #4 overall because he thought the Preds were going to pick Ristolainen and was very relieved that Jones was picked instead.

Stars tried to move up from #10 to #8 but the Sabres said no because they were afraid the Stars would take Risolainen.

Sharks offered #20, #49 and something else to move up to #16.. Sabres said no.

Sounds like they were surprised Zadarov fell into their lap at #16. Originally targeting a forward for that pick.
