I found out if the Panthers lost this series their pick would be #28.
The Draft Lottery is happening Tuesday. Sabres right now are at #9 and Vegas is #16. We have 3 picks in all in the 1st round. Depending on the lottery, the Sabres could end up 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, or 11.
If Vegas somehow won the lottery, they have the option of postponing the pick they owe us to next year, but it would be unprotected.
