Do you guys think Reinhart will be in the +30 to 40 range next year or +50 to 60 range?

I'm hoping Sam is a 30-40 point, two-way, J. Hecht-utility type (who can be plugged in on pp & pk as well) early on in his career.

And hopefully he blossoms into our version of Patrice Bergeron. Smart, steady, skilled, and reliable.

We don't need another Zemgus. We need a Meier or a Merkley. Despite the fact that Crouse could probably join the NHL next year and score 20 points.

If we had a team full of zembus's we'd never lose

Ya, of all the draftees, Crouse is last on my list in the 1st round.
Not enough scoring, but he is a mountain of a young man...if he develops more scoring, he could be awesome.

A player who doesn't score all that much in juniors doesn't tend to score in the nhl

Then we're screwed with Reinhart, Doh!

I think in 3 to 5 years he will be the spitting image of Bergeron.

So what if the Sabres are interested in Ramo what does anyone know about about him? Does he have #1 potential? I've seen him play but not a ton.

One thing I'd really like to see is improvement on faceoffs next year. I know it probably won't be any better than last year, and probably could even be worse. I just hope Reinhart or Eichel can be an ace on faceoffs. I've missed having one of those go to faceoffs guys...

Not really, Ek thinks he's a franchise guy so we should probably stay clear.



Seriously though, his numbers suggest he'd make a decent back up.

If that's the case then stear clear unless our scouts see him as a starter and can get him for cheap.

Skinner's high-flying style is cut from the same cloth as guys like Pat Kane & Max Domi...

I have a feeling Skinner would/could/should compliment Sam Reinhart perfectly.



Though as a left-handed shooter, moving Skinner to the RW would open him up for better shooting angles and easier one-timers. E.Kane/Eichel/Skinner would be deadly for sure.
- SuperCat

as far as offensive/defensive responsibility, that makes sense. But it'd be a physically very weak line.

Sounds like a great side-kick for Zemgus Girgensons actually.
- SuperCat

So does Marcus Foligno and Hudson Fasching. Give it up. We don't need Crouse.

I really want him if Werneski or Provo aren't there at 10. He would be the ideal winger for Dutch.

Every line gets their beefcake Winger. Dutch/Crouse Mack/Landy 3C/McGinn

he makes a lot more sense for you guys to really anchor down for your scoring stars. That is, like you said, a great defenseman is not available.

Eichel was very good on faceoffs during the Worlds, so hopefully that trend continues.

Im sure if they picked him the Avs would be getting a lot of flack from the Armchair GMS here how we can still be picking forwards.

Avs have decent D prospects in Bigras, Woods, Butcher, Geertsen...outside of Bleackley they have 0 forward prospects. I won't be shocked if they go strong on Wingers in this draft, at least 4 of their picks.

Mike? Is Grigo changing his name in an attempt to trick Murray into thinking he's Canadian?

I feel like last week he was the major piece in your trade offer for Dippy OReilly last week. Now he's only worth $350? Geeze

Happy Fathers Day!

Even better. Benn might be the most dominant two-way player in the game today.
- SuperCat

I think I would have to agree with that statement

him or Perry IMO

So does Marcus Foligno and Hudson Fasching. Give it up. We don't need Crouse.
- TheSabresTaco

In 3 years that could be one scary line

What makes anyone think that if Murray moves up from 21 that's not to make a deal for a " star" player and not just to move up in the draft.

The KHL called.

Is Ramo any good? I really don't want to spend anything more than the Isles second on a goalie. As someone else said a few pages back for all we know Neuvirth could be as good as any of the ones that are on the block.
