There's less than a 10% chance of landing Dahlin. I don't let my head go there.

I'm realistic, he's going to a Canadian team.

I see him with either eichel or if jbotts moves ror, #2 center. Anywhere in the top 6. Mitts-ror- okposo?

Eichel
Ror
Okposo
Sam.

Not sure if there is more talent here currently. He's a #5 or 6 forward,
In buffalo.

Sure I'm hopeful, but guys come in and play all over the league. Brock boeser, matt barzal. That type who comes in and plays like an nhl guy. Johnny hockey rookie year.

In my opinion and hopes

Probably 40 points. Sam #'s

- Boss34


Well if he’s just getting 40pts...
then he’s not gonna be on the rookie of the year discussion
He’s gonna need more like 60pts (at least) for that I’d say

Barzal & Boesser are at a ppg
So if he only gets 40pts,
that would seem to be “disappointing”

We are the 2nd worst team in the league.
Worst in scoring.

I really can't see how he wouldn't put up Sam #'s or better. 40 plus. Hopefully 60.

No matter what my answer is, you are ready to disagree.

Bettman uses the " what's best for the league program."

Seams like Ottawa, Vancouver or habs win it

Its 100% dependent on Cousins. We miss out, I can totally see us taking Allen or Mayfield and re-signing McCown.

I would rather they did not go the Cousins route. Us Sabres fans have seen what happens when you try and speed up a rebuild.

I'm hoping the jets overpay cousins, from a bills point of view.

Some of those young guys can be 10-15 years dominant

I really think he ends up in Denver or Arizona

EDIT: I bet ya Jacksonville is secretly pissed they made it that far. Cousins would have been a match made in heaven.

If cousins is choosing, it's Denver.

Great ownership
A stable franchise
Talented wide receivers
Super bowl caliber d.

$ may talk though.
Arizona has nice weather

If we stay in 2nd to last, it's >10%, but you're point is still made. But, the prize if not Dahlin, is Zad or Svech, and that means picking top 3. We have 26 games left, stay the course, lose but develop prospects in the NHL, and get a scoring winger for Jack and Casey.

guhle seems like top 4, so does Nelson if they stay with their development. We and always trade for add defensive depth. We just need to not screw ourselves in the late stages of this season by going on a win streak that means nothing.

Nelson looks like a keeper.

When we talk about late picks and free agents hitting, he fits the profile. E rod too.

I’m just saying...

That if ppl are expecting him to be Barzal (which is what it seems like most are saying) and he only ends up with 40 points (which is very reasonable)
That there’s ppl on here who will flip out & call him a bust

The dude is a complete stud. He will be a star in the nhl.
I see him putting up eichel type rookie #'s , I thought saying 40 points was safe. Less would disappoint me if he is a regular in the line up.

Just my opinion, im pumped.

Best prospect in either sport since mogilny and eichel

I know the %'s. The odds on finishing 30th are only about 50% right now. 31st about 25%.

In my mind, we're picking 5th. If it ends up higher, I'll be happy. If it's lower, I'll be disappointed.

I'm a little more conservative on Nelson. He's a 7th to me, which means playing near full time with Bogo still on the team. Honestly, even projecting him on the team next year is a feel good story. Very happy for him.

I think he’s got a chance to put up 60 next year
I’m just not gonna be too disappointed or call him a bust if he doesn’t

That’s all I’m saying
I don’t think that’s being negative
