Why were they bad picks... Bailey and DeHaan are both in the NHL.

Plus if they didn't trade back... they wouldn't have Hamonic or Donavan???

Because you could have had karlson, Myers, eberle instead of bailey. Ryan ore illy instead of Koskinen, kulikov instead of dehaan. Skinner, fowler and many others instead of niño. outside of a can't miss #1 overall snow has drafted poorly with top picks. Being 50% for a 1st round pick is drafting poorly

Kulikov? you might be reaching there. He sucks. I think it's more of a devlopment problem within their system rather than just plain bad picks. They have had other picks that are working out great for them.

1-1 ice 4:14 to go in the 3rd

Medicine Hat scores with 34 secs left ... looks like they will win 2-1

that's a choke

Koskinen, dehaan, Bailey. Those were bad high picks. Yeah with the 5th overall pick most teams don't want to draft 3rd line players or trade it for that. You guys could have had a really dominant team if u would have drafted better
- joshs

And you lost credibility. DeHaan was arguably our best rookie this season and immediately stabilized the top pairing. Definitely a top 4 defenseman and could very easily be our best defenseman. He's a phenomenal talent and showed it as soon as he was called up. You haven't even seen him play, and you're calling him a bad draft pick? Complete tool.

De Haan


He's one of the guys I really wanted when I heard Vanek was being dealt to Long Island

That might have been a reach. Islander fans have been cracking me up lately. I've bought into the rhetoric with the bills before for many years so I get it but it's very amusing to hear.

It's easy to say that after the fact.

I could do the same.... you took Myers... why not Karlsson, Eberle???

You really don't know a lot about hockey... that's ok. But don't try to pretend that you do.

You make it too easy.

You make Sabres fans look bad.

Now now don't be mad bcz im pointing out truths. Internet fighting never solved anything. Your own fans called your d ahl caliber.

whats up with all the animosity between sabres and islanders fans past couple days?


bottom dwellers should support each other not knock each other down

Karlsson went what, 15th or 16th? Plenty of others passed on all the ones listed. Hindsight is 20/20. No isles fan will tell you Snow is fantastic, frankly most of us want a change. He has restockedus with a ton of great young prospects, but I don't know that he has what it takes past this point.

Lol. Ok buddy trading a top 5 pick for a #4 dman and a 3rd liner is smart lol
All the islanders need is a top 4 dman, a top 6 foward and a new coach, thats it lol
Islander are better than top 8 teams in the east lol

Fully agree and if you look back through this I haven't trashed the Sabres at all, slap a muzzle on your troll joshs and we'll all get along fine.

Serious question for you, If you win the draft who you think Isles would pick?

Obvious answer is Reinhart for numerous reasons also bonus of playing with his brother.. but if you look into it more it might not be.. Reinhart would fail miserably in a 3rd line center role long term.. You already have Taveres and Strome that's a pretty capable top 2 center line up right there.. Now unless you think Strome could be that 3rd line checking center then maybe he could eventually take it but other than that it doesn't seem like a fit.

Thoughts?

Why does Strome have to play C? He could always be moved to the wing... Having a surplus of skilled centers is never a bad thing

You would love myers

Myers seems to be the whipping boy by people who don't seem him play.. its comical really..

True.. but he's best fit as a center.. Same with Reinhart

while i know first hand its hard to not get sucked in, its always the responsibility of both parties to create a better situation.

i've realized its quite difficult for someone to continue to be venomous if you are nothing but cheerful.


but dont mind me! i'm hardly an example of restraint in that regard....
