89 has already said he won't cheer for them

Are they gonna be your Western conference team?

If they decided not to take any deals,
they could put together a team that might actually make the playoffs this year

- jdfitz77

Yeah. I don't like any other teams besides the Sabres in any conference so I have an opening for a Western Conference team.

"Girgensons will never score 20 goals in the NHL"
-me after we drafted him

I got A LOT of crap for that

I do think he can be a really good defensive winger or bottom 6 center though

- jdfitz77



People forget that Zemgus only moved to C after Larsson got hurt. That line WAS Zemgus - Larsson - Gionta up to that point. Anything is subject to change with a new coach tho obviously.

Technically he would have had over 20 goals that one year so you're kind of incorrect

Saw some chatter about Buffalo ending up with Marc Methot.

It was even as far to say that he is a top pairing guy to go with Risto. I think that was just someone's opinion. I don't know a ton about Methot but I remember their fans were very down on him this past year.

Pass imo maybe 3 years ago but he's just going to end up like Josh Georges

In almost EVERY mock NHL draft... Kuli or Bogo is picked to go to Vegas.

A few had Moulson as well.


A lot had Grigorenko going. 3 teams already in his young career.

The Knights website says the event starts 5 PM local time out here, so I would guess sometime between 8-8:30 back east.

I haven't followed the prospects in this draft AT ALL...

I see a lot of folks like Cale Makar here.

I've seen some mock drafts having us take Michael Rassmusen. Big 6'5 200 lb center seems like a park in front of the net PP guy. Good speed and vision. Is a battler for hte puck obviously and some said is the best player out of the WHL. Seems like a 3C to me basically.

Thoughts?

LW William Carrier: A former second-round pick and a third-year pro, unlike teammate Jack Eichel, Carrier is appealing because he's only 22 and has plenty of upside.

He also said that teams "crave" centers like ROR and Eichel, mentioned Girgensons and Larsson. Didn't mention Reinhart.

He's not a center here

- sbroads24



He may well keep him at wing I'm guessing he'd like to see him more at Center before making that decision,
But it is possible he us his mind made up already I guess

I'm not gonna read too much into his statements yet
He's got A LOT of self scouting to do on our players still

I think that losing Bogo would come back to bite us. Him under Housley could be a helllluva turn around player. He showed signs of it in stretches over the last two years but couldn't keep it.

Not saying they aren't talented but some of those Nashville defensemen played a lot better than what they were supposed to be and that is from coaching and system.

That's another good point...

Where does Housley see Sam?

All this stuff is still to be determined

He's so injury prone though. That's what I don't like especially at his cap hit.

I love it if they can trade Girgs+ to get Eberle.

On pace for, and actually doing it, are 2 different things
That would be like saying Stafford is a 40 goal scorer bc the 1 year he had 30g in 60ish games
