Early contender for quote of the day, courtesy Sabres GM Tim Murray:
This morning, Buffalo acquired Robin Lehner and David Legwand from Ottawa, in return for the 21st pick in today’s draft.
In February, Murray swung a blockbuster trade for Evander Kane. Part of that deal included the 25th pick in today’s draft going to Winnipeg.
And, of course, the Sabres are expected in a few hours to draft Jack Eichel with the second overall pick.
