Sabres to pick 13th in June's draft

[calr]

The Sabres, for the third time since 2004, will pick 13th in the NHL draft. The last two times they chose 13th overall, they landed Stafford and Zagrapan, respectively. Sadly, we're probably going to lose out on such gents as Bogosian and Schenn now. Hopefully the likes of Beach and/or Myers are available.

By the way, Tampa landed the No. 1 pick and will almost certainly employ Lecavalier and Stamkos as its top two centers next season. Not bad.

Give him another year. He's still only 22 I believe.
