(NEW YORK) — The Buffalo Sabres won the NHL’s draft lottery and will pick first overall during July’s draft.
“It’s a great moment for our franchise,” Buffalo general manager Kevyn Adams said during the broadcast on NBCSN. “It’s obviously been a tough year for a lot of different reasons, and we’re here. We’re very excited. We’re proud to have this selection, and it’s a step in the right direction and I got a text a couple of minutes ago from our owner saying, ‘Smile,’ so now I can smile.”
The Sabres finished with the worst record in the league this past
