I can do old school rap over 1990 and above country music.


Rednecks, where the music sucks and the sheep are scared.

Say we end up with the 1st pick, and grab McDavid.

Then the Islanders end up with the 8th-12th pick (which is then ours, of course) and the Blues end up with the 17th-24th pick, per se (which, again, is ours).

Would the Isles, Blues, both 2nds and a blue chipper on D be enough to grab the 2nd pick from whoever, allowing us to draft both studs?

Would you do it?

McD
Eich
Barazal
Hanifan
Zacha

As a rule, I like to stay away from those.

Those tend to be good players who had great years, rather than great players. Now, if they end up with a pick in the 8-12 range (Islanders), it's a different story.

It would seem some have Strome outside the top 6.

HIs role will drastically change this year as he will no longer be on the third line. He may end up taking over for Andre Burakovsky's lw spot along side MC D. HEs a player who can play all 3 phases of the game and would be a great addition IMO

Seems to be the cool thing to let D men fall, hence why I only took 1 in my top 6 but Kylington will def hit in the top 10 at the very least

Since when did this "Buffalo Fan Alliance" become a group that the NFL or anybody important, for that matter, would even begin to think about taking seriously?

I would assume it is because everyone is grasping at straws to know what's going on. Even though there is a full non-disclosure agreement. People want to know and want to find every reason to talk about the sale?

It's a matter of timing and an appeal to emotion. They may very well be bsing but with a story this big, the more they deny there's smoke, the more the media will insists there's fire.

Got a chance to watch him on tv a couple times last year, I think he's the real deal. Accomplished quite a bit at just 16 years old, if he can take that next step it wouldn't shock me to see him in the conversation for #2 with Eichel.

Associated press has confirmed all the documents exist . Same as usual from Toronto group . Denial ! I applaud the efforts of this group. The obviously are being taken seriously.

The documents were verified to be real. Its the 'link' that is in question.

My point was even if that wasn't true, the reason this group would be taken seriously is because of the media's hunger for controversy especially with something this big.

However, with the news that this team is pegula's to lose, it may not be as big of a deal especially since I can't imagine many people thought they
a) had a good shot
b) would even have the support necessary to make the move happen.

It's kind of a big deal. Even if it's all smoke no fire, bringing it to light at least has upped the scrutiny on the topic - which is a pretty good job description for the media on the best of days.

i think you keep both of those picks.... look at 2003 tim murray worked the magic in the picks 19 and up. a mceichel, samson and ennis can hold down the middle also dont sell out on grigo.

Agreed, i was referring more to the bigger picture about there motives to move the team. Even if it winds up being true, slim chance they beat out pegula and even slimmer that they find a way to move the team up north.

Murray was director of player personnel in 03, not sure he had much say (if any) in the picks made by Anaheim that year.

They merely pointed out something that had already been confirmed long ago by both public knowledge and common sense. This town already has enough ammo to be labeled for its "small time" reputation. We don't need to add to it.
