So Ekblad and Eichel > Reinhart and McDavid? That’s debatable and don’t think so. Ekblad isn’t that special.
- Hatboro_Swords

Ekblad has the ability to move the needle, albeit not at an elite rate. The Sabres have none of those on the back end, not even Ristolainen.

I like Carlson
But at 8mil? That’s just too much

And i wouldn’t wanna sign Karlsson or Doughty for 10mil+ either the next year

d group as a hole is still cheap if you move bogo

not paying any money in net anytime soon

put okposo on ltir and sign him to big money for 4 or 5 years until the kids need to get paid


what if you land dahlin


dahlin-risto
guhle-carlson
mccabe-nelson


I will hang up and listen

Not getting Dahlin is going to be such a buzzkill...

Did u watch Allen play at all?!
- jdfitz77

Not really. Oregon, Bowl game and Senior Bowl were about the only games I can recall being on tv. He’s a big fast mother effer though.

I used to think he’d be a star
But Allen has been really disappointing

And StL has a good defense!

Still probably worth a shot if he can get his confidence back...
but he’s been pretty bad
- jdfitz77

He's mental

Dylan Strome might finally be a player

The dude has 3 even strength goals in his last 30 games playing 20 minutes a night.

It’s not nonsense, it’s a reason why we are 31st.

Honest question, could you imagine if he was the 3rd line center and Mittelstadt was takinng PP time and some O zone starts from him? What’s his production then?

Move him now while he’s valuable
- sbroads24

It's been proven he won't be anything but a bit producer in Buffalo. The league however still considers him a premium asset because it's common knowledge throughout the league that nobody can produce in Buffalo. He'd generate some valuable pieces in return so I agree ... move him.

What, for a shift?
It certainly wasn’t for any length of time

If i remember right, it was
Andreychuk (sp?) on the LW

And I’m sure they had someone (at least somewhat) skilled playing with them after he went to Tampa
- jdfitz77

Andreychuk played with Hawerchuk if memory serves me

May for sure
Craig Simpson from Edmonton got a shot
Slow dave on the PP
Adam Creighton?
Randy wood?
- Boss34

Neither Simpson nor Creighton were on the 92-93 team.

Creighton had already been traded and Simpson didn't come here till the following year.

He's mental
- fastek

I'll take him when they throw him away the things that he did in the playoffs last year was just absolutely incredible

When his game is on he is Unstoppable

Not really. Oregon, Bowl game and Senior Bowl were about the only games I can recall being on tv. He’s a big fast mother effer though.
- Hatboro_Swords

Go back & watch some of his games
I assure you that you’ll change your mind
He ya all the tools, for sure
He just doesn’t play well at all in the actual games
Accuracy, decision making...
he just looks bad
I saw 5 or 6 of his games
In all that time, i saw ONLY 1 good half from him

HUGE bust potential
Ppl are falling in love with his “measurables” like they did with Jamarcus Russell
I want no part of him at all
Wouldn’t even pick Allen if he fell to #22

Allen is my number 2. Rosen if Bills make a big jump, Allen if they make a small jump and Jackson if they stay put. If they stay put and get Jackson then they need to draft a receiver that turns into elite. D.J. Chark.
- Hatboro_Swords

Allen is going 1st overall
Giants stay at 2 and take Darnold
Jets take Mayfield
Browns take Barkley
Denver takes Rosen


Bills fvcked themselves by allowing the Jets to swoop into #3.

Looks like Jackson will be the pick al la Manuel.

I’d love that, of course
And most likely worth it
That’s a defense where we can compete for the Cup
But in 3 years...

Dahlin (7.0ish?)
Ristolainen (5.4-due for raise in 1more year)
Guhle (3.5ish?)
Carlson (8.0)
McCabe (2.5, at least)
Nelson (at least 2.5 also)

Plus the 7th defenseman
We’re talking over 30million

It’s doable,
But that’s a lot of Cap for the defense
Plus a raise to Risto after 1 more year
And if Guhle puts up the points, then his 3.5 could also go up a bit


HOWEVER...

What if we miss on Dahlin & Carlson won’t sign here?

As much as i want Svechnikov...
we NEED Dahlin at least

Seems about right another doormat for 20 years

Andreychuk played with Hawerchuk if memory serves me
- dadeadhead

25 definitely played with Patty once he got there

I sure hope not
MUCH rather wait & take Rudolph

The Giants will move out of 2. My understanding is a deal is in place only if Darnold goes 1

Allen goes 1 and all bets are off.

His weak Arm is going to drive me nuts..

But Peyton Manning had a weak Arm ..

I did.


I remember Dave playing with Hawerchuk a lot back then.

Must have been prior to 92/93.

May got his shot in 93/94 based on his stat line 84gp 18-27-45 and only 171 pims

He doesn’t have a “weak” arm...
it’s just not a cannon

Rudolph can still make all the throws
And he’s accurate
Probably the most accurate of the 6 possible 1st rounders

Yeah, i think he played with Hawerchuk before Patty got there

I’m almost positive May became the LW at some point when 25 was traded
Might not have been till that next season
