The real problem was that we had already decided to burn through a bunch of picks for Hamonic and I doubt even Brad would want to go 3 out 5 drafts without a first rounder.

Yeah, I totally mixed up picks - I was looking at Winnipeg picking 20th because my brain went Kane/Winnipeg.
The Sabres ended up with Montour for that pick. IIRC.
