Despite the Buffalo Sabres’ concerted efforts to tank in order to ensure a spot at the bottom of the rankings, the team ended up with the second overall draft pick, losing the first spot to the almost-as-terrible Edmonton Oilers. The Sabres will likely select number two pick Jack Eichel and lose out on the chance to have the once-in-a-generation player Connor McDavid in Buffalo.
On Saturday night, the Buffalo Sabres did just that. Buffalo entered the 2015 NHL draft lottery with the best odds of obtaining the No. 1 pick in the draft. For the second season in a row, the Sabres walked away with the second overall pick, losing the lottery and first overall pick Connor McDavid to the Edmonton Oilers.

Between scheduling classes, fulfilling requirements and struggling to make ends meet, students face a lot of anxiety over finishing their degrees.

I am firmly pro-abortion rights. I am a heterosexual cisgender woman. I have a uterus so I may one day be pregnant and when that day comes, I deserve the right to choose what I envision for my future. If that future doesn’t involve a baby, or at least the present doesn’t make supporting a child a viable option, I have – and deserve – the right to make that choice.
It’s pretty clear at this point Bobby Hurley’s heart was not in Buffalo, but Hurley doesn’t realize how much of Buffalo’s heart was with him.

When was the last time you read a book for pleasure? Books are a diminishing form of relaxation – Netflix, Hulu and the variety of other streaming services that provide entertainment in a couple clicks overshadow novels.

With the pursuit of a last place finish successfully concluded, the Sabres are now guaranteed a chance to select either Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel, the two most promising talents in the NHL right now, in this year’s draft. With the firing of current head coach Ted Nolan, the team also has the opportunity to hire a new coach of similar caliber.
The Spectrum’s April 9 article, “The Parking Game: Parking Struggles on UB’s Campuses” by Emma Janicki and Sushmita Gelda should be a wake-up call to all members of the UB community that the individual and collective actions we all take in driving to campus are adversely affecting each other and our personal health.
