After a whirlwind day that saw the Buffalo Sabres trade for a starting goaltender, a top line forward, and draft a franchise cornerstone, the Sabres enter Day Two of the draft with a much better idea of how their team will look next year, and five picks still to make in Rounds 2-7.

Or will he stand pat and simply use what the Sabres already have? It’s Day Two of the NHL Draft.
