This...

nothing should be done with that pick until the lottery is held and GMTM knows where he is selecting.
- Stripes77

Obviously.

Oh most def if you want to contend next year. You'll need a pair as good as Gio/Brodie at least.
- Jeropotato

They need a stralman/muzzin type imo. Someone who is good at disrupting zone entries, high puck recovery rate and relatively fast.

Agreed...be better off going after Yandle at free agency.not as good a player but it negates that massive risk.

we are not taking the leafs 48 year rebuild plan, we need yandle plus on our back end

Think maybe he is hung over .

I said 2016 first and 2017 first

2 firsts won't get it done, not unless 1 of those is garaunteed to be very, very high.

Thought it came out the Yandle was staying with NYR?

Very hung over

If the Sabres did win the lottery, would you trade down to 2-4 to take a winger or d? Say Toronto is picking 3rd an offered the 3rd and their other 1st? Or Arizona is 3rd and there is a move like the 3rd and Michael Stone for the 1st.

On the other hand if we are picking 8-12 what would we have to include to move up to 2-5. Larson, Psysyk, Foligno?

Regardless of what happens, the Sabres will not go into day 1 without a pick having it here in Buffalo.

" The status of Keith Yandle and a possible extension with the Rangers is "status quo" which according to Craig Custance means that there have been "no negotiations of any substance."

*Disclaimer, I think Kane is playing very well*

Why does his 82 game pace always get mentioned? He never plays 82 games. Seems kind of irrelevant to me.

I have no idea although in fairness it is often cited for other players as well.

On another topic, I know we have talked about Boedker in the past, but after checking his advanced stats, I don't care how fast he is: I don't want him at his likely FA price.

It would make more sense to talk about ROR pace. He's played 80+ in 4 seasons.

Boedker might not make sense at 5+ mil, but I don't see him getting that

Who the (frank) am I suppossed to cheer for? The links between Edm and the Rangers are many and have been there for decades.

Glen Sather is the best Coach and GM to ever live.

nope, then you got your top pair d men set

sign yandle as a free agent

trade gus and a second to bolts for drouin


sign stamkos


dump moulson, ennis, franson, gorges on draft day for picks/prospects


kane/stamkos/skunk
drouin/eichel/ror
foligno/larsson/fasching
deslaurers/schaller/gionta


oel/risto
yandle/bogo
pysyk'mccabe

lehner/ullmark

WTF! Are you doing writing this on here...call Yimmy, get inside his head, now! Do,it

- sbroads24

He's valuable to a team if you can get him on the cheap. Otherwise he'll likely frustrate more than produce. Hoffman is in this category too but scores enough to get away with it (or at least used to)

I have no idea what one crazy GM might pay him.

I'd also feel much better about signing someone like him if I know that one of Moulson (preferably) or Gorges were off the teams cap after next season.

I think it's reasonable to assume one of those 2 will be gone in 2 years

If they don't pursue Boedker that won't bother me, but they do need to get faster.

Georges could be traded ...Moulson would be a buyout if no creative trade presents itself like the Horton/Clarkson trade.

You keep the pick and take the best player (Matthews). You can never go wrong taking the best player and if he's another Eichel, well great then. The two Fins may not even play in the NHL next year (short term military Service). You don't want to regret trading away Matthews for the next 15 years.
