Once CBJ gets all of their injured players back, they'll get on a roll. Our only worry is Edmonton, but it still guarantees us a top 2 pick. Not worried.

It's amazing that Edmonton is still this bad. It's annoying almost

Compher could be a really good player. I am excited about him and Fasching leaving college within the next two seasons
- sbroads24

I haven't seen Fasching play yet. What's his ceiling?

I constantly forget about Lemieux and Bailey
- sbroads24

Who?

Gotta feed the pup.

Yup. He's going crazy because he can't run around anywhere. There's too much snow in the yard and we had a hard enough time clearing the driveway, let along much of the back yard.

It just goes to show that you have to do a rebuild right. Buffalo looks like they are, but like I've said before, every team is usually excited about their prospect pool.

Bailey is having a pretty good year so far, isn't he?

IMO Ryan Clowe-ish but when he was good. Not sure he's as tough as Clowe though

Eakins will get the boot this week and I would think Craig Ramsay will be the interim HC for the rest of the year. Incredible how bad they have been for so long.

They didn't make the big move when they should have. Paajarvi and Gagner had really high value at one point. They wound up dealing both away for meh draft picks (and perron, who's been meh himself).

It's why im hoping TM makes a big move this off season. Sell high, especially if you don't see a future for those assets on your team.

- HonkFortheGoose

Yes, and he's on a pretty mediocre Kitchener team

14g and 15a in 20 games.

Ours is ranked #1 in the league by most outlets that cover prospects.

That and 3 1sts, cap room, and a rich owner and id say we are in damn good shape

ok thanks. I would think when some of these prospects are ready, they'll start in Rochester to continue their development.

If we're talking right now, Risto should be ahead of Reinhart, Bailey should be higher than 16th.

If we're talking potential, Armia and Grigo should be ahead of Zadorov

I would have Armia in the top 5 and I'd have Schaller in the top 15.

Agreed.

Well, that was an epic failure. I can't get to the store that's only 2 miles from my house.

There's just too many huge trucks in the way.

I know. I really just want to get out of the house for a while. The 2 minute drive I took wasn't really enough to satisfy the itch. I'm going to work tomorrow if it kills me!

Nice. I think Bailey, Fasching and Hurley have bigger ceilings than Schaller, but Schaller could see some NHL games this year

Its because Katz runs that team like he's the kid in high school who had no friends, became rich, and now buys ex-Oilers for friends.

I honestly think he could care less if they win or not as long as he has a bunch of 1980s Oilers hanging around him.

How Lowe and company are still there is beyond anyone's comprehension.

It was tough not adding Bailey and Baptiste and since I haven't seen Fasching play, I couldn't add him either in the top 10. I went with Schaller because he is playing in the system atm and having a solid year as a pro.
