He was right, I melded two years together. Guess last year isn't really on my mind as part of this.

2018: Reinhart, Eichel, Nylander, Mittelstadt, Dahlin
2017: Reinhart, Eichel, Nylander, Hischier, Zadina
2016: Reinhart, Eichel, Matthews, Mittelstadt, Zadina
2015: Reinhart, McDavid, Nylander, Mittelstadt, Zadina
2014: Ekblad, Eichel, Nylander, Mittelstadt, Zadina

2015 and esp 2016 would have made for exciting hockey, scoring wise, but we might loose every game 10-9...
I think Dahlin is the best d-man in any of those drafts.... so i’m Happy with what we have, but i’m No fan of nylander. Maybe we can win next year from the 14th spot to make up for him.

I still go with 2018 however 2016 looks pretty damn good with Matthews and Eichel

I think I'm with you there. Nylander to Matthews is the biggest upgrade, but getting a #1 D might be even more important.....and McDavid as an option....it's a struggle to answer. Mittelstadt never even entered my mind, so much so that I screwed up the whole thing.

After listening To Botterill I’m very confident that we will be picking twice in the top 10

If Rocky II is the worst movie ever, what does that make Rocky V?

I look at it like this

Franchise center check
potential Norris Trophy defensemen check

That beats have 2 franchise centers in my opinion

Mittelstadt could be a 2nd franchise center.....

Idk, I think 2016 by far is the best. Going from Nylander to Mathews is bigger then svech to Dahlin. We always could of traded O’Reilly for a D.

Eichel, Mathews, mitts, svech and Reinhart would be the best offense in the league.

Risto and a D we got for O’Reilly would be enough with that offense 😍😍

What did he say ? If we can get a top 10 pick for O’Reilly I’ll do cartwheels.

Our power play is going to be lethal with Dahlin replacing Risto. Now we have one timer options on each side. Both of those guys playing the point is going to be scary. Risto can power PP2 on his own.

Sure but that D wouldn't be anywhere near as good as Dahlin

The Sabres have never had a Norris Trophy defensemen

They potentially finally will get one.

I am not talking Myers here, I am talking Karlsson here

Our 2nd PP barely sees the ice. Dahlin and Mittelstadt will bring some serious threats to the first. It's fun to think about.

- Pegullaville

Why? That is a move backwards unless we are getting a winger for Eichel with that trade.

My source told me Mittlestadt prefers roller hockey over ice, really weird info I’ve been getting lately.

- Pegullaville

He talked about 5 players that can step in the nhl next year

I thought it was strange when he knows what player he’s going to take Unless he’s been researching the wingers

Trade O'Reilly, Nylander , and Bailey for #3 overall and Brendan Gallagher

Zadina - Eichel - Reinhart
Smith - Mittlestadt - Okposo
Oloffson - Rodriguez - Gallagher
Wilson - Malone - Girgensons

He’s known for two days he was getting the first pick. of course he was researching the top picks.
And he said the core we have Sam, jack, mittelstadt Guhle and Ristolainen, plus who we draft first. So i’d Bet money Sam and Ristolainen aren’t going anywhere... as it should be..

Ottawa had the highest chances of winning the No. 1 pick headed to the last ball. Vancouver, Chicago and Arizona had the same odds as eventual winner

I was going towards ROR going for a top ten pick

Why? That is a move backwards unless we are getting a winger for Eichel with that trade.

The top 10 of this draft is stacked. You get a top 10 pick and forward prospect he is in the NHL by next season.

I think they should play Mittelstadt on Jacks Wing for majority season and ease him into NHL center position . Trade O'Reilly at the trade deadline for a max return . Let Casey become #2 center at that point . Top line of Eichel , Mittelstadt and Reinhart could be fun to watch

You hope and that is if he is not a bust and who is replacing RORs 60 points and defensive play?
