Marcus Foligno is no joke, it took sits brother 5 years to turn into the machine he is now. Ottawa gave up on him too early, I forget who they got back in that deal...a pick?

It took him 8 years and he was traded for Marc Methot.

Dan Bylsma just said it's early, but Zemgus Girgensons could be moved back to wing.

Looks like Buffalo could be like

Kane O'Riley Ennis
Moulson Eichel Girgensons
McGuinn Reinhart Gionta
Desluaries Larsson Foligino

I prefer Reinhart on the wing playing with better offensive players but we'll see..
- bluengold12

I see him as a top 6 winger. And have for a while now.

I actually like foligno but we could get more for him if traded. A lot more than a decent third liner and a second and fourth.

Steal of the draft.
- dadeadhead

thats if he plays up to his potential I think he's going to bust

That's how I see it. A late 1st going 60th? Good for the Flames.
- mhp

The guy was projected to go 4th overall for the better part of a year.

that doesn't mean he's going to turn into his brother
- gerbe75pts

Nah man, but it's trending that way. Grew up in an NHL household, I like Marcus, Im not trading him unless we are getting something tasty in return, like Oksposo.

If you can get a player like Gibson, you do it.

Competition at every spot makes for better players.
- dadeadhead

Competition is great but he also favors a clear number 1 goalie and he certainly seems to think Lehner is, Gibson would be muddying the water

Agreed oreilly is better in his own end different tangibles different players. His eye injury is fine, fully recovered sometimes when you're out for as many games as okposo was it takes a while to get the timing back. He was good in the playoffs. As far as the every fan base does it part meh, not so sure about that? It was a pretty shocking about face. You guys were adamant about not trading Zadarov for ror. Hey if you're happy now that's all that matters.

Every fan base will change their tune because they have no choice. Either jump ship or accept what has become reality and understand how it improves your club.

Sheet - I'll reserve judgment for 4 years

- dadeadhead

I can think of many players that were projected to go 4th overall but went fourth round or sooner

Will see what happens

- mattmoulson

Lehner has injury concerns.


The water just cleared up.

The eye thing is a bit scary also, I'm presuming everything is ok, but an injury like that is not normal in the sense and good knock to the head might detach it again, I believe. If I'm Okposo, I might bank a few million and call it early, can't risk losing your eyesight.
- -JCDC-

Nah. It was a contact lense that caused it. According to his physician who is friends with a colleague of mine it was a minor injury as far as those things go and he's fully recovered. You could see he was fine after he got his timing back in the playoffs. Why does snow love these small defenseman? Wtf

Like the Guhle pick, caught a bit of him at the top prospects game. Dude can skate.

you won't get a player like him unless you add a package marcus can't get a player like that by himself

When hell is Cody going to be gone
- gerbe75pts

We have 3 more days to buy him out. They "have a plan"

Sheet - I'll reserve judgment for 4 years
- turbo044

Unsure of his contract but he can play in the AHL this year and next without using any of his ELC years. It gives Calgary a 5yr EL deal.

Acceptance yeah I get it but full on diving head first into happiness after the trade? Whatever is what it is.

Considering what Murray gave up he must not be too concerned with the injury

Because he was a goalie and needed to see.

Better than the alternative

of course we miss on Greenway should have took Bracco

- -JCDC-

That's like saying Sam Reinhart will be just like Max Reinhart.

Considering what Murray gave up he must not be too concerned with the injury
- mattmoulson

He should be.

Lehner goes down for any length of time and your starter is Chad Johnson.

you won't get a player like him unless you add a package marcus can't get a player like that by himself
- gerbe75pts

Yeah, but I really hate to mention the Tommy V deal again....yesterday, read how Garth Snow was jonesing for Barzal. He gets on tilt just like Murray...but sometimes you lose when you go all in.

The guy was projected to go 4th overall for the better part of a year.
- dadeadhead

The dude sucks. Reason why he fell. Numerous scouting reports say he is afraid to take a check. He was hyped when he was 16 years old. Players that regress in their draft year is not a good sign
