Reports that Paul Fenton also interviewed with Buffalo this week.

As of now, the list of confirmed candidates for the Sabres' GM position are:

1) Bill Guerin
2) Jason Botterill
3) Mike Futa
4) Tom Fitzgerald
5) Bill Zito
6) Paul Fenton

I don't know what to expect from Guerin, Fitzgerald, or Zito, but I really like the other three. Still waiting to hear if BriseBois ends up interviewing

Funny name rankings:
1) Futa
2) Zito
3) Botterill
4) Fenton
5) Guerin
6) Fitzgerald

Darling is a UFA on July 1st. That's kind of a hefty price to pay for someone who could walk for nothing in a couple months, especially one who isn't a star.

Ah, thought he had another year.

I'd imagine he signs with the Canes anyways because they'll give him the starter's job.

Thank god the system has been put into place to help struggling teams like the Flyers, Stars, and Devils out after they've buried themselves in problems.

I abandoned the screen after I saw 3 teams behind us win the picks, so I don't know how that wound out, but the top 3 are some mix of the Stars, the Flyers, and the loving Devils

This was the only thing I had to look forward to all year.

Apparently 48 points is enough to get you forth overall now.

48 points.

yeah the devils are the kind of team that should be winning the lottery because the entire point of having the draft order correlated to standings at all is to keep individual teams from being bad for extended periods of time

And the Devils maintain a monopoly on active players taken at 1-1 who have never played an NHL playoff game.

I'm sorry, man. But you surely knew this had to happen. The worst season ever had to end with the worst possible draft lottery result.

Also I think it's great that the Avs have one of the worst seasons in NHL history and end up picking fourth in a weak draft.
