I cant wait to see what happens in Long Island. Imagine if the play awful and then win the lottery and get the number one pick, but they gave that to Buffalo. COuld have used McDavid going into the new barn in brooklyn.

Apologies if this is Leight, but this trailer for the doc about Pens' tanking to draft Mario is amazing:

Honestly, I think they'll make the PO's with better goaltending... they're not a bad ES team at all.

From reading her posts, I'd say she spends an inordinate amount of time thinking about punching things, places, people, mythological deities, societal norms etc...

How many lives has the LARPing training saved? Thousands more I'd bet.

Question!

Would you trade our first round pick in 2014 (an average draft) for a team's first round pick in 2015 (a deep draft)?

If it's the Sabres or Oilers' pick, yes. If it's the Kings', no.

I think it would be a bit of a stretch that 2015's draft would be as deep as 2003's but in a deep draft, I'll take any first round pick I could get if it means we have two next year.

I always thought it would be funny if two GMs traded their first round picks before a year started. It would be a bet to see who could finish better.

Brisk day in the Boyle camp. At least 8 teams have made contact (Leafs incl). Meetings with Boyle's agent, George Bazos scheduled for Thurs.

Good lord. A bidding war for a 4th line center.

Edit: Wait a second. I think it's Dan Boyle Dreger is referring to.

I don't believe anybody in the division is good/deep enough to be considered a lock.

This is also a deep draft in that there's no steep drop-off. This year's 10th overall might not be as good as next year's 10th overall, but this year's 15-30 might be better than next year's 20-30.

Barring prolonged injuries to both Sid and Malkin, Pittsburgh should make it. Not guaranteed, but should.

So stupidity isn't confined by the July 1 date anymore... the window has apparently moved up. Really hope Hexy doesn't go wading into this poop.

Homer would probably strongly hint to a bunch of players that he would offer them exorbitant contracts just to drive the price up.

The problem is, he'd then fool himself into thinking it was a good idea and offer those contracts.
