Guessing he was looking for a 1st between 13-18 and couldn't get anyone to bite.

i heard it was a 10-15 range. makes you wonder who he was chasing down

You really thing the Islanders will be that bad this year ? Not ! 3 first round draft picks will still be nice tho.

They won't be a lottery team but the pick will still be nice.

He said he offered the same deal to 7 teams... Seems a bit odd to me 7 teams wouldn't take the deal.. Obviously we don't know where those 7 teams were in the order but I'd have to imagine one would have bitten.

My guess is he tried to go up in the 10-17 range.

My guess would be between 9-16 and I don't think I would have said yes if I was one of those GM's either

My guess is Larkin or Perlini. Both have top 6 upside on the wing.

such an easy pick Barbashev...

that is all Barbashev

My man!

A Russian that works hard, blocks shots, great along the boards, good offensive instincts... What's not to like.

I most definitely do. I mean maybe not top 5 bad but definitely a top 10 pick

All depends on Tavares and how happy he is.

Halak will last 6 games before pulling his groin and their defence leaves a lot to be desired.

Sabres were never gonna take Ekblad. I like it

Well...

Maybe Barbashev will gel with Grigorenko?



We all know Russians travel in packs.

Ok, but regardless... They still have ZERO nhl level starters!

I can round up a more amicable lot of pro d-men wearing the blue & gold. So much more promise in that particular pipeline as well.


I honestly don't believe Murray isn't eyeing goaltending right now.
- SuperCat

Demko is not yet either . I am very excited about Ullmark and Peterson

All depends on Tavares and how happy he is.

Tavares should be real happy with his new winger not named Vanek

I am counting Garth to find a way to under achieve . And how well does Tavares come back . That was a pretty serious injury.
