Yeah, I'm listening and he didn't say that at all. He said that Buffalo was his dream destination. He said it's the gateway to a better life.

I read a separate interview that he couldn't wait to play and live in the 10th most important city in the State of New York and to have his pick of women covered in sweaters for 10 months out of the year.

Take the 2008 draft for example... Schenn was a 'safe' pick, so was 'Sbisa'. You'd take either of those players ahead of Karlsson, Myers, Carlson or MDZ if you had a chance to re-draft today?

That's the risk of taking Risto too high... you're probably passing on players that will be much better down the road.

Ahead of Karlsson...not a chance. As for the rest, I think only time will tell. But I get your point.

How many years after Weber was chosen do you think it took before he became one of the top-ranked defenders in the league?

But at the same time you can try to not take a safe pick and end up with Colten Truebert. In that case you would rather a safe pick of Schenn or Sbisa...

Someone's mock draft on the NHL Channel had Nurse going around 5 or 6...he definitely seems to be trending upward.

Then they were talking about Colorado saying they are going to take MacKinnon, and with the Lightning needing to replace Vinny, how the draft could get real wonky real quick.

Looking forward to it!

According to reports the Pens offered 8 yrs at 7 and his agent countered with 8 at between 7.5 and 8. The Pens said no way.

You think there is any way we could get into the top 3. What do you think it will cost??

If you were Pittsburg would you trade Crobsy to Colorado for 1st overall, Duchene, and Landaskog?

"I've only met Mr. Voracek once," Straka said, "But I am hoping that I can phone him at some point this summer, perhaps meet him for dinner and find out what it's like to be a Flyer."

A time machine and a few meaningless losses at the end of the season.
