They are all talking about picks later in the first round and so on. The initial dream was having 4 top 20 picks. Which could turn this franchise around

Plus the hockeynews IMO is one of the worst written pile of poop out there.

Ken Campbell is total garbage and there is a reason Bob MacKenzie couldnt wait to get out of there

or have it mirror Edmonton.
- RynoBull

I love this argument. . .
So Buffalo is going to draft Taylor Hally, Ryan nugent Hopkins and Nail Yakupov, and are going to perform at an extact replica of how they are performing for Edmonton?

Elias?

He can have his opinion, but more people than not say this year is going to be a good one.

or pittsburgh or chicago stop trying to give half a side of an arguement
- hubie

so its ok for others to negative with the current roster and boo them, but its not ok to be down on players that have yet to be drafted? Interesting.

im not going to go over again but its very deep in forwards so so in defense and awful in goalies

what do we need?................... forawrds which is deep

Edmonton made a mistake by taking Yakupov instead of Murray. Put Murray on that team with Schultz and you would have 2 very good and young defensemen to build with. I never understood why they went the Yakupov route

Shut down Vanek while were at it
- sbroads24

no way!!! hes been aweful. minus 100 or something since he returned. keep rollin him out there. does he kill penalties???

Allegedly

Also I would say we need defense as well

Love your thinking!!!

Dude, what are you talking about? Edmonton wins their division next year. Count on it.

me too they went all forwards then wonder why their d sucks and goalie sucks

- Rally_Shots

Been doing a lot of reading up on scouting reports, from actual NHL teams amateur scouting, and they are coming out and saying that the media is over hyping the depth of this draft as well as some players.

That maybe the top 1-8 spots are really great prospects, but theres a big fall off from there.

Elias?

not until they play defense or get a goalie

me too they went all forwards then wonder why their d sucks and goalie sucks
- hubie

Sounds like the Sabres this season

- hubie

Dubnyk could really benefit from some D help. He is not a bad goalie he has zero help. I think he gets thrown under the bus by some but really its the team in front of him

I never understood why they went the Yakupov route
- Stripes77

hes electric!!!!!

well when you have guys like Ennis who say they dont take face off seriously and when you tell Ott he can take whatever faceoff he wants and he still lines up on the wing 75% of the time its kinda hard.

I think in general coaches get too much blame when things go wrong and too much credit when it goes right.
- Homer

i am sure it is a combination of the players and the coach. i was just saying in general just becuase you are good at somethign it doesn't mean you can coach it too

Dude, what are you talking about? Edmonton Drafts in the top ten again next year Count on it.
