The Sabres have eight picks in total after Helenius in Rd 1, will they use them all?

Good morning! The Buffalo Sabres ended up picking Finn Konsta Helenius in last night’s First Round of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, though later General Manager Kevyn Adams admitted he couldn’t find a trade partner for the 14th overall pick.

… we were aggressive and there weren’t trades that we could get other teams to agree to. … we’re going to do everything we can to make our roster better.”

Let’s see if he can close out some deals today.
