Kinda feels like we won the lottery going from TM to JB, does that count?

It's great having a GM who looks like he can find a homerun from anywhere in the 1st round, but Dahlin is legit and will be the first pick. He's a franchise #1 Dman, and what we need so desperately. We'll never trade for one, and even if Karlsson and Doughty become available soon, they are not worth the amount of assets it would take to get them and the cost of their next contract. And, given that they're approaching 30 with injury histories, forget it.

It will take a year for Dahlin to get used to the NHL and if he were a Sabre that will be right when Jack is in his prime and Mittelstadt is on the team, and Guhle, Ullmark, etc... Dahlin will turn us into a contender.

give nylander a realistic shot in the fall before he becomes a throw away


pretty much all I am saying

- homiedclown


He has had a realistic shot in the A and now in the WJC20 ( for 3 years)... but yes, let’s give friggin Girgenrko another shot, just in case.
Jesus Christ!

This laughable, you are way, way better than this poop.

mine was just the double standard between nylanders tourney last year and mittelstadt this year
- Sabresfan-365


Equal numbers do not equate to equal skill. Mittelstadt has quicker hands, feet and what he does with the puck blows away what Nylander did last year and does now. Talent trumps numbers which are still impressive. Not to mention Mitts can play center and wing and wins faceoffs too. People have to stop just looking at numbers.

Ask Phoenix how happy they are that they gave up on Briere and Turris too early

I based that analysis entirely on the eye test not stats

Last year Nylander played very well right up until the big game, and disappeared. Just like Mittelstadt this year.

Im not saying Mittelstadt isn't the better player because he clearly is at this point, just that i cant believe how different the perception was between the two despite very similar situations.

We're trading Eichel again?
- jcragcrumple

Who said anything about trading Eichel, I didn't. I said a winger come in FOR HIM.
