I know you know the kids better than I do, all I know is what I read about them.

Why do people hate Nurse? From what I read some say he is better than Jones defensively, just doesnt have a lot of offensive upside. But he plays nasty, which we need bad.

Why do you think 8 is too early for Nurse but not for Hunter? Again, most mocks I see have Nurse going before Hunter.

The reason I hate Nurse is because I want no part of a D man this early in the draft... But also because Nurse hovered in the teens all year in the rankings and magically jumped into 6th without doing anything special whatsoever. With a top-10 this offense-laden, going D would be a bad choice in our position. I'd personally pick Ristolainen over Nurse, too.

Homer,
Any trade rumors for our Sabres??
- Sabresfan88

I think Van is gone and Miller stays.

he will Regret the decision he could get a D with the 16th pick with the same value

Shinkaruk 8th, Zadorov/Ristolainen/Pulock/Morrissey 16th

if we go Nurse at 8 and Erne at 16 I wont be upset. That makes us way harder to play against, and I'm good with that.

That being said, I see you're point of going forward at 8 and D at 16.

What are the possible destinations for Van??

a lot of people say he has a low hockey IQ "dear in the headlights player" .. AKA dion phaneuf

But that's their opinion. He could be a gem or a bust

I like rolling the dice but 8th is too high for me

Interesting. I wouldn't mind that.

who's joining the hunter shinkaruk bandwagon..


- gerbe75pts

not theblueandgold that's for sure

I'd love to have him here but I'm proud of my buddy just for getting this far regardless of where in the draft he goes, just as long as I get free tickets and a "I knew you before I was famous"

I prefer Morrissey at 16 to Nurse at 8. Morrissey could be the next Duncan Keith

At this point, a result of Lindholm at 8 and and D/Erne at 16 would leave me absolutely smitten. If we traded Vanek to Philly, we could probably get the 11th and snag Shinkaruk as well...

As in at the draft or one is gone and the other is signing an extension?

PM PM PM!!!
Shinkaruk 8th, Zadorov/Ristolainen/Pulock/Morrissey 16th
- FLYERSROCK!

Morrissey is going between 24-30 in mocks, I'll pass on him. The others all seem to be gone by 16

How about I love Vanek and you love Myers for a bit and we could really confuse some people

I guess Pegula called Myers and tore him a new one. Actually told him he was the reason Ruff got fired.

Myers feels good now that he knows he accomplished something this season.
