Kane - Eichel - Reino
Nylander - ROR - Okposo
Fasching - Aspland - Baptiste/Baptiste

Is kind of how I see our team in 1-2 years if Kane resigns. If Kane doesn't resign then we need big help on the left side.

I'd say that's about right
I like Bailey over Fasching bc of skating
But Fasching might be a better scorer at this level
He's good around the net

Corsica is down, so I don't know. There might be another site but I haven't poked around.

mrazek looks pretty good

Sabres365 seems to get good stats on goalies

I really like Mrazek though from what I've watched
He's a legit franchise goalie for us imo
Still young too, 25 I think?
- jdfitz77

mrazek ranks just behind gibson and just ahead of jones in HDSV%, top 10 (among goalies with 50 games played)

It'll just depend on if we need the speed or the grit at that point. Fasching the grit whereas Bailey/Baptiste are more skill.

I also have a hope that Cliff Pu could be an impact player but idk how long until then.

Watch us be the only team that finds out tonight lol

Bailey provides more grit than Fasching imo
But that'll all play out over the next couple seasons
I like Rodrigues too

Before last year,
I'd probably have ranked him around 10th
So that makes sense

Onbviously Detroit doesn't want him
I hope we get him
I'd be ecstatic

Probably 2 years. He just got selected to represent Canada at the Worlds I believe as well...that's a very tough team to make. I'm thinking he will be good as well, too early to tell but he's got some great tools.

They better be gett a crap ton of picks,
Bc they could've drafted a team MUCH better than this

- Sabresfan-365

Even an invite is a good sign. Canada has so many talented players, especially forwards, so I'd be proud if I was him.

The deals McPhee made with the Wild and Islanders are terrible

I don't even know if terrible even describes it.

Listening to XM on my way home Patrick O'Sullivan and Stellick I think? they said after Fluery and the other UFA's go, the Pens will have 20 mill to spend. The rich get richer

Duchene.

Lol.. I looked at the list backward... I saw names and thought it was who we left unprotected my bad.


Moving on.

You didn't really think they'd leave the Chinese guy unprotected, did you?

He did deal Forsberg for Erat. Guy is not known as a genius.

Never gonna live it down. I hope I was drunk that day.

From what I saw Lehner is not that much of an upgrade over Nilsson or Ullmark. Our success, or lack thereof, this season will depend on our skaters much more than our goalies.
- Losman

He is, because he can play more than 4 games in a row without totally falling apart.

- JVince11

Nope, and you're lucky I don't remember the actual quote because that would definitely be my, and probably many others, location.

From their list... I probably would have taken Elliot honestly. A solid #2 that can play more games if needed.

Bollig, Bouma, Brouwer, Chiasson, Shinkaruk, Stajan, Versteeg, Vey, Bartkowski, Stone.

A few other options depending on what way they were going
- JVince11

A perfect example of a good backup utterly crumbling under starter's responsibility.

NHL botches everything.

This expansion "draft" is hilariously stupid
