He really should though

Why ?for what reason, there's no reson to move him. We need 2 good centers and we have them in Eichel and ROR.

The only thing i noticed through a cursory look is that we have way too many righties and like no high end lefties, especially two way ones.

not totally comfortable having Rielly on this hypothetical team canada

Sure it helps but we don't need to be the drafting in the top 5... there are guys that are really good that get drafted after the top 5.... (I like how to conveniently left off the third and fourth line players from above. and when is the last time we got someone in the 3-7 round that was worth a crap.... Hell we have blown two of the top 10 picks.

I'm not apologizing for wanting my team to not suck anymore... and drafting in the 1-16 spots is not where I want to be drafting anymore. F that, just win.

I'm not apologizing for wanting us to draft more top end talent. We have been sucking balls this whole season and I do not understand how placing 20th instead of 30th does anything but set this franchise back again.

Half of these tankers will not be here next year.
So they can take a great finish with them to the ahl where they belong.

You posted the list. I pointed out that it's comprised of early picks. Which you do not want.

Everyone is fed up with losing.

Pouliot-Erod-Baptiste

Evander Kane 0 pts in 4...0+1 in 8...1+2 in his past 13 heading into tonight's game vs #Canucks

Ouch. So much for that haul..

you posed half the lineup.... whatever I'm done arguing the point. I want them to win, regardless. You have your point i have mine we aren't going to change how the other feels.. agree to disagree.

But i thought his value was only going up and couldnt possibly go down?
I think he should command 2 roster players and 2 firsts!

from sabres prospects:

Victor Olofsson snags his 22nd goal of the year. Frölunda defeats Karlskrona 7-1.

(FHC D Rasmus Dahlin had a goal and an assist) Sabres first round pick, after winning the lottery (Sabres move up from 11th after they go on a huge winning streak.


be nice if this kid Victor can continue to improve as well.

I would like to see the Housley try this to shake the bottom 6 and get Kane going:

Kane-erod-baptiste
Pouliot-Larsson-pominville

- jcragcrumple


Looks good to me

But Pouliot & Wilson need to be switched as well.
Wilson has been ok,
but we need to be featuring Pouliot for a trade. Get him in the top6 where he can be seen & score a bit

Has MCGUIZZY been talking to GMs around the league?
Have you?

That’s what i thought

Both our guys who have inside info (Homie & 89) are both saying his value hasn’t dropped & that we will get a good return

I'd rather see Pouliot with these two because I think it'll help Baptiste to have players with him who actually have a chance to score and maybe can help him score. If Wilson were there, we'd learn nothing about Baptiste.

I was hoping for Kane-erod-baptiste, but I'll take this
