Big problem in ot was risto missing a breaking eichel by 10 ft. We never got possession back. Sloppy play that leads to a loss. Eichel would have been full speed too. Inexcusable.

Yeah, that was an awful pass.

That pass was brutal
He must have thought Jack was gonna turn it on or something?
- jdfitz77

Jack was already going full speed toward the Ana zone. Missed pass

Trade lehner now if u can get anything for him. He's not the answer. Get a marginal goalie back so ullmark can stay in Rochester.
- turbo044

I agree :
Either now or later lehner needs to go.

Locking down 30th is a must.

Enroth is tearing it up in the KHL

Sucked last year for the Leafs,
but i think he only played like 8 games

He did well for LA a couple years ago though
I remember being surprised when they didn’t bring him back
I think he had really good numbers for them if i remember right?

I wouldn’t hate if we brought him back next year
If he stinks in the NHL,
send him to Rochester to pair with Johansson
Having a Sweed(sp?) to mentor our other young Swedish goalies can’t hurt


And i know for a FACT that Enroth would return to Buffalo in a heartbeat
He loved it here

Does Dahlin + Guhle FIX the defense?

I’d like to say yes
But even the best rookies will struggle at times
- jdfitz77

They don't make us great nest season, but they make us a bubble team. The following year they make us a legit playoff team.

They must not shoot five hole in the KHL.

2yrs ago with LA he played 16 games
.922 save%
2.17 gaa

This year in KHL
51 games, .924sv%, 2.04gaa


So maybe not to split time with Ullmark next year, i guess that would be risky

But i think he’d be great to have in Rochester with Johansson
And if we have a goalie injury next year at all, at least he’s had experience in the NHL & been decent

Oh I was just making a funny. I don't have an opinion one way or the other at this point. I'm glad to hear he's doing well, though. I certainly never had anything against him and even liked him. But I was consistently amazed how such a small dude could leave such a huge opening five hole.

Ari is worse than us. Still, 29th place gets us the 5th pick at the worst, I believe?? And 29th looks very likely. Ideally we want #1 of course, but 2, 3 or 4 would be nice too.

No Blue and Gold challenge this year? Thought it came on after the All Star break. Wth. Also, how didn’t the crowd get the Miller chant going after the ROR goal? Effin Amateur Hour.

The pounds will come though
5’11 isn’t too bad

Erik Karlsson is only 6’0 (191 lbs though)

He’s roughly the same size Makar was last year

I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict we pick one of these guys...


1. Rasmus Dahlin, D, 6-foot-2, 183 pounds (Frolunda, SHL): After the WJC there is zero doubt who the top draft pick should be in June. Dahlin has everything you want in a defenceman in 2018. Can help turn a franchise around.

2. Andrei Svechnikov, RW, 6-foot-2, 187 pounds (Barrie Colts, OHL): Didn’t get as much ice time at the WJC as many scouts would have liked, but his skills are undeniable.

3. Filip Zadina, RW, 6-foot-1, 192 pounds (Halifax Mooseheads, QMJHL): Zadina had a great tournament in Buffalo with seven goals and eight points. Was a threat every time he was on the ice.

4. Brady Tkachuk, LW, 6-foot-3, 196 pounds (Boston University, NCAA): Raised his stock immensely for those who doubted him due to a sluggish start at BU.

5. Adam Boqvist, D, 5-foot-11, 170 pounds (Almtuna, Allsvenskan): Loaded with talent. As one NHL scout recently told me “there’s a lot of Karlsson in him.”

6. Noah Dobson, D, 6-foot-3, 179 pounds (Acadie-Bathurst Titan, QMJHL): Scouts go out of their way to make sure they see Dobson. This season’s big riser.

7. Rasmus Kupari, C, 6-foot-1, 183 pounds (Hermes, Mestis Finland): Would have been nice to see more of him at the WJC, but his skill very much keeps him in the top 10 mix.

8. Oliver Wahlstrom, RW, 6-foot-1, 205 pounds (USNDTP): Has outstanding skill and is an effective player with a high hockey IQ.

9. Bode Wilde, D, 6-foot-2, 197 pounds (USNTDP): Big, strong, can move his feet and competes hard. Stands guys up in the neutral and defensive zone and hits hard. Moves pucks quickly to the best option. Has a bomb of a shot.

10. Evan Bouchard, D, 6-foot-2, 193 pounds (London Knights, OHL): A smart player who never panics and has a cannon from the point. With his London Knights in rebuild mode it will be challenging for Bouchard to stand out on a weaker squad, but make no mistake, he is legit.

Can’t say i disagree,
although there’s some guys that could go top10 that aren’t listed (Hughes for example)

Idk who I’d prefer yet between Zadina & Svechnikov if we are picking 2nd?
Because of our need for defense,
i might even be talking myself into taking Boqvist #2
That’s probably pushing it though

Zadina
