When do the Isles have to make a decision in regards to giving the sabres a pick. They would be better off to do it now, as the #10 pick next year is likely more valuable than #5 this year.
If, as I suspect, Florida is looking to move #1 for immediate help, this has to be disturbing news. The islanders screwed up the market for rental wingers at the deadline, and I suspect it will be the same for top 10 picks at the draft. This is good for the flames, as they (should) have no business trading their pick, but plenty of business acquiring another.
And if I know anything about Burke, he is vengeful. The isles screwed him out of getting value for Cammy at the deadline, so he will make it his mission to TAKE. The isles pick for little value.
I look forward to it.
