I pretty much hate everything about Buffalo right now -- that (frank)ing franchise deserves nothing but bad karma for a long, long time

I think what bothers me is the First Round pick is likely to go to...

A) Buffalo the Tankers

B) Arizona the Irreverent

C) Edmonton The Franchise that doesn't know what to do with First Round Picks

It's a sad state of affairs -- I get that Tim Murray didn't hire Ted Nolan. So yeah, you get to hire your own coach.

But I've said this all along: It's absolutely poopty to not do anything to give the coach a chance to win. You wanted to lose. You lost. Then you fire the guy.

What a load of crap this sport can be sometimes

The field has an 80% shot at McDavid. I'll be surprised if Buffalo wins tbh.

What happened to Ted Nolan is exactly why Mike Babcock needs to make every demand like Patrick Roy did about title, salary and roster input -- you go into a team with a crap GM, you get effed

I just want to see the look on Tim Murray's face. I just need to see it.

Ed Snider's not without fault. But it's BS that you can do what these teams have done and be rewarded, while all Snider's tried to do, wants to do, is win.

I just really need to see the look on Tim Murray's face if they don't win the lottery.

Ha! He still will be sour -- they are all-in on McDavid, though certainly Eichel is better than they deserve

Sure, but getting the 30th overall slot means you're getting one of the two, which is why they tanked

I get it, but they want McDavid. They'll take Eichel, obviously, but I don't want them to get what they want most

Hey, 6.5 percent is not miniscule -- they could absolutely win that thing. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if any of the Top 8 or 9 won that thing

Could be kinda tough for the locals if a team like Columbus or Florida or Boston wins it, that's for sure

I know you guys are excited for the draft, rightfully so. Really this will help 2-3 years and I am hoping they improve things for next season.

I keep thinking about them getting a LW this summer. Someone with speed, and having shoot out skills wouldn't hurt. I doubt they will find a top pair D man, but the LW should be doable.

Also think a new coach could go a ways towards fixing their PK and road game awfulness.

Hate being out of the playoffs.

Does a Laughton for Ehlers trade have any legs to it? If you look at Winnipeg's roster and depth chart, they could use a guy like Laughton.
