Eichel needs a proven NHL goal scorer. A guy that doesnt have the best hands, and has caveman like tendicies. The player should be strong and fast, and prefer to go north-south vs east-west. He should have a shot first mentality and we should check his 5on5 production and stats twice a day to keep him in check. Even if he has some flaws we should sell the farm for him.

So, Evander Kane?

match penalty...should at least be reviewed and he should have a hearing...guarantee if a player like larsson did the exact same thing, it would be reviewed, there'd be a hearing and he'd probably get suspended
- Michael Pachla

Wasn't a match penalty, just a major for boarding and the accompanying game misconduct.

It is what it is with Hartnell, I dont like that it wasn't even looked at, but at this point I never count on DoPS, or DiPS as I like to call them, to get it right.

Mittelstadt has shown flashes, but I'm waiting for the big play. You can tell he can stick handle, but hasn't really gotten the opportunity to showcase it yet.

So, Evander Kane?

May get us a 1st...

Stamkos out the rest of the game with a lower body injury. Lightning are going down hill at the worst time.

That's just so close to she was asking for it. Hockey seems to be where this argument still makes sense.

Hartnell boarded someone, boarding is against the rules.


That's beyond a slippery slope argument to the point where it isn't credible.

In this one situation, Anitpin turned, Hartnell kept going. I don't care what Antipin did because it wasn't against the rules, I do care what Hartnell did because it was against the rules. Hartnell ends up here often because he breaks the rules.

Antipin's actions didn't cause Hartnell to drive his face into the glass.

Hartnell did not want to take Anitpin out of the play. He wanted to smash him in the boards whether face first or not, period.

I rather pick top 4 guaranteed than beat the leafs in a meaningless game.

Were not going to win the lottery, so as I see it:

Brady tkachuk at 4, playing next year

Or

A defenseman who plays for the Sabres in 3 years

Hey, we have a shot.

At some point Luck needs to come our way

I just want Eichel, Guhle, Reinhart and any others that look part of the future to play well as Lehner and Johnson lose games for us

I agree, but each year I get really excited about the lottery draft. This year I'm taking a different approach.

Let's lock up last place. I would consider this season a great success..

Eichel progressing
Sam looking like a pro
Guhle showing promise
Nelson looking like a NHL defenseman
Mitts signed and beginning next season as a NHL player

Looking at positives

So, Evander Kane?
- Wetbandit1

YEAH!, what do you think it would cost to sign him this offseason.

May get us a 1st...

You’d hope

I wonder what the odds are (considering the lottery changes etc) that a team doesn’t end up picking 1st with 3 last place finishes

For the Sabres, about 53%. I'm sure many will say 100%.

Sounds about right

I lost in the semifinals of the HBSL fantasy game. Nice run. Looking forward to that T-shirt that I will never wear.

Really good, they've only had a max, what, 25% chance?

Right, looks like 25%, 20%, and 18.5%. 49% chance of missing all 3.

Yeah, I guess. I thought it was higher the first year
