I guess you prefer the glass half empty mentality then. Boo whooo buffalo has always sucked we will never get anyone good. They will finish 29th and draft hanifin 3rd overall. Then miss the playoffs for five more years followed by five years of first round losses. Waaaaaa my name is eor and I couldn't get laid in a whore house with a handful of fifties. That more your style guy?

Wow! This has gotten you way out of whack.

I agree 100% with the above.

My theory is that Bettman (former owner/ruler/emperor) of the Arizona Coyotes wants to give the Coyotes one of the two franchise players. He wants to keep the desert dogs in the desert so that there is a natural geographic rivalry with Las Vegas in 2 to 3 years.

The same Bettman that was (former owner/ruler/emperor) of the Buffalo Sabres?

Arizona has 4 more ROW that we do.

If they tie in points Buffalo would somehow need to win 4 games in regulation.

Yep I see that now.

Ok - so we are 2.5 pts ahead...still attainable

Esp if Stalock is in net, he seem sto give up that easy miller esk goal

It will be funny when Strome has a better career than Eichel. The gap between Eichel and Strome is closer than the one between McDavid and Eichel.

Strome has only increased his position this year. The kid is better than Reinhart and can do it all. Only thing i think he lacks is elite speed witch eichel has. I'm not hating on Eichel but lets not pretend that Eichel is right there with McDavid because he isn't. McDavid is more than a generational talent. He is the future of the League.

Good statement by Smitty. Something positive and realistic.

Hopefully Anaheim has nothing to play for in that last game and rests all its starters too.

Tier 3
Hanifin
Strome

I don't think anyone said that. I mean, I hope not. I still think Strome gets drafted 1st overall last year, 2nd overall in 2013, 1st overall in 2012, 1st overall in 2011 and 1-3 in 2010.
- TheSabresTaco

The top 4 in 2013 were rated higher prospects than strome. The talk that year was it would take more than #8, #16 and vanek or Meyers to even get a sniff of druion, mackinnon or barkov.

If by chance Buffalo picks 3rd they need to take Strome.

Strome and Reinhart could be our Bergeron/Krejci.


Just trying to be positive.

That's certainly a bit discouraging.

Agreed, They have no choice. They need A "Top Flight" Center/forward.

I have stopped worrying about it really, cant control it, so why worry?

That's a Bit unfair. Strome is very highly rated. The only reason he is not talked about as much is because of McDavid and Eichel. Strome in many other drafts makes a case for top 2.

He could. Not in 2013 though. Just replying to that post that said he would of got drafted ahead of druion and barkov
