The Buffalo Sabres have locked up last place in the NHL for the season. Their 4 - 2 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets last night means that the team is assured of receiving one of the top two picks in this year's draft. Prospects Conor McDavid and Jack Eichel are expected to be the first names off the list.
Both are considered to be franchise players that the team can build around for years to come.
