to be honest I don't know much about the young kids in the draft, I don't keep up on that like most do on here. From what most have said, kids in the top 5 this year are ready I think.
- SABRES 89

top 4 picks

dahlin (ld), svechnikov (rw), zadina (lw), boqvist(rd)


and bouchard (rd), probably picked somewhere between 6 and 9

OH MY
- SABRES 89

did I miss anything?

I wouldn't be opposed to a Bennett, Kylington and a pick for Kane and Lerner.....
- dadeadhead

U still hoping Bennett can be a top6 guy?
Idk anymore...
Never been high on Kylington either
Also haven’t watched him or read anything about him in a few years though

So maybe not those exact guys (if it was up to me)... but a similar deal sounds reasonable

connor mcdavid
187 games, 219 points


eichel
197 games, 166 points

Rasmus Andersson



have them throw in Hunter Shinkaruk

Are the Russian and zardina ready to step in and play next year? If we win 1,2, or 3 in the lottery.

Too bad Nylander can't come out of no where
- Boss34

From what I’ve seen & read...
most likely

BUT
You never know with how Botterill seems to want to develop guys
That’s why i don’t think it’s a sure thing that Mittelstadt is here

Would anyone really be surprised if guys like Bailey, Baptiste, Rodrigues, Smith, etc
get their chance with the Sabres before the younger guys?

Idk...
maybe I’m making too much of how he kept guys down in Rochester this season?
Just seems like that’s his m.o.

Rasmus Andersson

- homiedclown

Did Shinkaruk suddenly learn how to play hockey this year?
He’s been a major disappointment so far

this team is a mess

2 top 6 wingers are needed

a 3rd line center
2 top pair d men


pp coach

pk coach

backup goalie for ullmark


heart

grit

speed


chemistry


intelligence

a new goal song


a goal light that works


etc

Same sh1t we've needed for years

I feel Bennett has that edge and speed we'd be loosing from Kane and Kylington had 27 in 60 last year and has 25 in 42 this year. There should probably be picks on either side but for Kane and Lehner, yes I'd take that deal and run.

No he hasn't and is the reason he was moved by Vancouver

- dadeadhead

I think I’d rather get ONE prospect with more potential than two guys who will probably just be “ok”

Edge & speed is nice...
but if u can’t score, those guys are available
Don’t need to trade for them

- homiedclown

I think he’s been in the minors for like 4 years now

If he’s a throw in, then fine
But i wouldn’t consider him having any trade value whatsoever as a major piece in any deal

William Karlsson has done wonders at 25

just a body before this year

Idk much about this prospect NyR got for Grabner?
I guess he’s been playing pretty decent in the KHL though
“B” level prospect?
Anyone know more about this kid?

I like that Grabner got that return though
Kane should get more
Which means...
a 1st, or “A” prospect,
or possibly both

And that was an inter-division trade
First time Jersey & NyR have ever made a deal

He’s also been a full time NHLer for a couple years too though

Shinkaruk can’t crack the lineup,
for TWO teams

I’m not saying it’s impossible he takes a leap- guys do develop at different rates

I just wouldn’t consider him a big piece in any deal

I like your lotto ticket analogy
But he’s more like a scratch off than a mega millions ticket

Imo anyways

- homiedclown

He's done worse this year compared to last year. Best year was 2 years ago when he had 51 points

He was traded for a guy that now has played 148 and has 47 points since the deal.

1st rd bust.

Ok...
so pretty much a “B” defenseman prospect who’s having a good season

Nice

Kane should definitely get more than that
Thanks Nj/NyR !

I was thinking football season

Nah, unless it's a big game people either stay home/friend's or they go to a sports bar.

Every bar is different, I know a couple bars that their busiest nights are Thursdays.

IMO Bennett will be a 20/20 guy over a full season and honestly kid has played 77, 81, and (as of now) 62 gp has n consecutive season. I'd rather take the lottery ticket on him than Shinkaruk.


Also the kid the Rags got has been a full timer in the KHL the past 2 years and is only 20. He's a b level prospect.

crazy
- homiedclown

No way that can be true.
