Ike Taylor said on Mock Draft Live that his hamstring starts hurting when it gets hot in the kitchen. Or was that Lattimore?

I'll call that Target and ensure they hold the part for you. But how will I get the $100. Verbal agreement to pay is fine, but method of transfer must be arranged.

Some are saying Corey Davis will drop out of the 1st round now. I think Hooker is a baller
- MCGUIZZY

I said 3 months ago, my bet for the Bills at 10 was Hooker. This was before he skyrocketed into the 5-8 range.

I'd love him here. Absolute stud

I find it hard to believe he will drop to 10. Im thinking top 5 for him. If hes at 10 i think the Bills take him for sure

If I were the Bills I would take OJ. He would be a difference maker right away at TE. He would give 5 a big target in the middle of the field.

Not really sure if hes really a reach there. Especially if Tippett is gone.


I really think Heiskanen could be the pick if they go defense tho

I think Tippett goes in top 4. Best pure goal scorer in the draft this year.

most mocks have him outside of the top 10 i assume cuz of his size. what little adv stats work ive done into pettersson suggests he can really push the play vs produce as a "passenger"


havent looked much into finland yet but i imagine heiskanen would project well

You guys got no interest in Lindgren? Best skating dman in the draft.

He just had an amazing U18. Lead the tournament in points (12 points in 5 games) and was named the best d-man of the tournament. Kristian Vesalainen also named best forward. Both stocks are rising big time.

Heiskanen and Makar will challenge him as the best d-man leading up to the draft. I see Lilgegren falling

After the tank years I got used to there always being an obvious pick at our spot.

This draft being so wide open certainly makes things interesting

What's to say he can't get a little luck going forward then?

Have someone write a modernized version of the Sabre Dance, no hip hop in the modernized version, and be done with it.

Good draft year for finland, they're on the upswing. This was a little while ago so may have changed but i remember seeing that a finnish forward was putting up the same shots on goal rate as eichel did. Far less production no doubt but its really promising when a forward is putting the puck on net as much as jack did.

It seems if we pick in the top 8 and choose to go defense, than the top candidates are Makar and Liljegren. I was just reading that Makar is a big hitting player like Zadorov would have been for us, but can get himself in trouble with that, though, also like Zadorov. And, that Liljegren seems to be the all round smart, solid defender, and he is playing in the Swedish league which is also playing against men, not teenagers like in juniors, so his game is farther along.

Outside of them two, Valimaki seems to be a good one and then Heiskanen and Hague as well, but they are all slotted for the 10-20 range.

As I said before, if we pick 6-9 and are looking as defense as the pick, I wouldn't mind dropping back 3-4 spots, still taking a a good defenseman because it seems not a lot truly separates them all, and pick up a extra 2nd rounder for moving back. That will give us 3 second rounders and we should use at least 2 of them on additional defensemen to try to get the system healthy again.

I hope he's there for us at 18. have seen him play 4 or 5 games live and the kid is a beast. Big, tough and good skater for 6'6 size.
