Sabres could have gotten Sobotka for Paille but opted for picks instead (Kevin Sundher + conditional never met).

I thought Bruins nixed the Spooner trade though?

Anyone notice that Kris Baker is a huge Sabres homer?
- sbroads24

He became a sellout makes every prospect seem like they're going to make an impact in the NHL

We have one of the worst prospect pools maybe three players will make an impact out of all them

Carrier back to AHL. With Schneider and O'Reilly.

Does that mean Eichel is close?

I think its just because there's a long-ish break in the schedule.

I disagree. This draft class is looking pretty good thus far.

Pu looks great, Fitzgerald's numbers are really solid this year. Glotov in his first year in NA has more points than the 3rd overall pick in the draft on that team. Nylander should be good, Asplund is to be determined but he's all ready three points away from last years total in less than half the games.

I also really like Petersen, Borgen and Guhle

and I think Estephan and Hurley can be solid 3rd liners in the future if they work out in the AHL next year.

Yea but last time they did this they called up different guys right?
It wouldn't surprise me if it's Baptiste or Bailey up, and Schneider stays with Eichel close

none of the call ups for the bottom 6 impressed me enough to stick around, cept baptiste


this includes grant who can go down tomorrow, for all I care

I don't know why Grant is in the lineup every night over our young players that actually have some chance at scoring

You didn't like Carrier? Thought 48 was looking like one of the more solid players on the squad.

carrier is ok, just don't think he will be ready to contribute til next year

IMO he has the best future from what we seen other than baptiste


of course Nylander has yet to get tapped, and I would tap him for next call ups


okposo-ror-reinhart
foligno-larsson-gionta
nylander-schneider-baptiste don't care who they put on the dot
throw the deplorables on the 4th line
kane-girgens-moulson

Unless disco is willing to give him a decent shot with eichel id rather keep him in the AHL. ELC slide is more valuable than Nylander playing with Grant and whoever.

He can go have fun in Vegas . That Winnipeg trade is just absolutely brutal now
- GERBE!!!75PTS[/img]

It was brutal from day one, but it was sort of over shadowed by the beautiful trade that landed you probably the most under appreciated player in the NHL in ROR.

Still, now that the shine has worn off, how do you rate your GM and the job hes done?

Not giving credit for the Eichel pick as its a no-brainer, but as far as his major moves, picks, how do you letter grade them?

Coaching Hire
Reinhart pick at #2
ROR trade
Kane and Bogo+ for Myers and Stafford+++
Lehner trade

Have I missed anything major?

Heres my grades, not that its worth much.
C+, D, A, F, D

It was brutal but at least we had some kind of hope either could have benefited from the change of scenery. Now we just have two eh players on big contracts and no hope lol

I dont remember any call ups last time there was a break but maybe. Id be surprised if he made the trip to ottawa. I still have 6th against the oilers as the comeback date but depending on how hes recovered december 1 wouldn't be a reach either.

I'm glad everyone thinks the Vegas team is going to take everyone's trash, 500 mill to get his team, he's not taking trash.

Give a letter grade for the following


GMTM B- mainly for not making a panic move when Jack and ROR and Kane were down.
Disco Dan C For getting them to allow very few goals.
Lehner B+
Reinhart C Needs improvment.
Kane INC
Okposo B
Girgens D+(insert Tommy Boy reference here)
Foligno A A Pleasure to have in class.
Risto B+
McCabe B
ROR B-
Moulson A
Gionta B

Bryan Murray backed out.
