I mainly only care about first two rounds as that is where the Sabres will be doing the most wheeling and dealing. I wish NBC sports took more initiative to give full coverage of things like the NHL draft..

There is a protection list if I remember correctly. With the new CBA and salary cap, one would think there would be different rules now.

or was it an available list. been so long ago i forget who we lost. Goalie?

Giordano apparently is asking for 9 MIl
- hubie

Wtf?!?!
I've been a Giordano supporter for a LONG time
Even got some pretty negative feedback from a few on here when I wanted us to push hard to trade for him (his #s were pretty average though)
I could just tell by watching him play what he'd become though
I actually see that in Pysyk

But 9mil a year?!
Holy hell no
I can't say I'd even give him 7mil
And even though he's been building to this past great season he had, there's still not a good enough teach record to give him a 7x7 deal
I'd see if he'd agree to a deal that was more like 2-3yrs at 6mil
Let him prove he's a consistent all-star
Then he'll deserve the big $$$

Right, Giordano making more than Keith, Seabrook, Chara, Karlsson, and Weber would make me sick.

44. Zac Dalpe (C, Sabres), Seattle

....all yours, seattle.
I'd really like to see a team in Quebec again. I hated them back in the day but I really think Canada should have another team over Vegas.

maybe he is hoping to meet in the middle... bottom 25% or something.

I can just put in NHL 15 and be a GM.

Saves the quarter.

I'm a little shocked no one on here got tickets for the draft

- gerbe75pts

I got 4 tickets but decided against flying down there from CT to see it. It would have been fun, but, will be easier to follow everything that's going on on the television

I try to come and go as NHL news and rumors stir louder.

My little tank is 2 years old and will eat like 3 hot dogs for dinner with a yogurt and an apple sauce while my daughter who is 6 can kill 4 Eggo waffles per meal at breakfast. it is expensive when my kids have my Yeti genes in them.

Hahaha
Glad to hear all is well sir

What are your hopes for us this weekend?
Any preference as to what we'd do in goal?

I am trying to buy a copy of it right now. lol. I didn't buy a copy this year because it was going to be painful to see how bad we were. In past years, I would just fast forward in Be A GM like 3 years to when all of our prospects were ready to be in Buffalo and add a few trades and cry tears of happiness.

Well eichel is the obvious.

I really hope that we can flip that #21 and a 3rd or 4th rounder in this year or next years draft (or perhaps Foligno in this deal) into a top 6 RW. Maybe Okposo if best case scenario. I'd also really like to see Loui Eriksson here. At the end of the day, i also have a hunch that Chris Stewart might sign back here.

In goal... I want to wait until teams see who slides out of the 1st round to trade or use the 31st pick. I'd like to get one of the goalies at 31 if possible. If we trade fora Lack or Howard type goalie.. I hope it is the 51 they use. I hope Grigorenko is in an outgoing deal as well.

Yourself?

To the PS3... was that a typo or real life? lol. You know the PS4 is out now right?

That's move in day for me at the lake. Lots do to that morning so I'm not stuck working on it all day.
- HonkFortheGoose

I don't think you'll miss all that much on tv
Listening to it should suffice just fine
Plus, Wgr will prob have some good interviews with Eichel & whoever else we pick/trade for... U wouldn't get that watching the nhl network

I heard the NHL 15 for this season was pretty choppy and had issues. For PS4, they rushed it so it cut out A LOT of things like Winter Classic, Be A GM would only go 5 years and you'd have to start over, I even heard that in some cases all of your prospects if you sim a season would not increase their stats one single point. Some bugs for individual play because it was basically rushed out and made so you can do the online gaming and all of that all-star card collecting thing that kids do on there these days.
