I'm 100% he was ranked the number 1 Prospect I remember all those articles that came out that we're just oozing how good he was after his world juniors and jr season

If I can go back to 2010 I'm sure I can convince you lol

He was the main piece to get Mike Richards how he was valued around the league

so 2 young unproven forwards at the time but a lot of potential and a 2nd round pick?

Simmonds was just off his ELC and was a 35 point player
Schenn only played 9 NHL games prior to be traded but was a Top 5 pick

I mean its not a lot compared to the comments of ROR would need the 3rd overall pick from Montreal talk that I have come across on the interweb

- DDM-Coga


U don’t think Schenn (a top5 pick) is comparable to #3 overall?
I know he hadn’t established himself yet,
but he was still thought of as a top prospect
Was he not?

Said this in the last blog...

ROR for #3 overall or nothing.

Montreal doesn't have anything else that would benefit the Sabres at this point...and there are plenty of other teams with better assets who could really use ROR.

Im not arguing that he wasn't a good prospect but you re trying to claim that he was the best prospect in the NHL at the time, which he never was.

It would be like claiming Elias Pettersson is the best prospect in hockey right now right before Dahlin is drafted.

A number 3 overall compared to a former 5th overall 2 years after he is drafted are a bit different. Not crazy different but trading a top pick for a team to take their own guy vs a guy already drafted and who wasn't able to stick with the team twice before before traded. There is a bit of a perceived value difference, as a GM wouldnt you want to be able to pick your own guy with a pure Top 5 pick?

- jcragcrumple

Considering you said the return should be somewhere around a Tarasenko like player.. yes you will be disappointed.

Read what I said would be a reasonable return on page 1. I know you will be thrilled with a pick 11 + Josh Ho Sang return. That's not at all what I'm looking for.

I'm not talking about Tarasenko anymore.

"My heart is broken" over a 3rd liner that we didn't trade for that went to another team in the division is freaking out in any context.

Sure
But obviously they really liked Schenn
And it’s not like he’s regressed at all
As far as i remember,
he was still extremely highly thought of

Probably at least in the same ballpark as Zadina

And of u take into account that MTLs GM is trying to win now to save his job...
and that it’s thought they will “reach” for a center if they keep the pick...
And that Kotkamniemi (sp?) won’t be ready to help them much this year, if at all...

I’d say #3 is at least a possibility
Maybe not likely
But I’d say there’s a chance

I'll own that more than Gerbe.

Domi is good.

If Domi is a third liner, Reinhart is too. They're totally different players. Domi has double the primary assists per 60, Reinhart has double the goals. If Domi played with Eichel, Eichel would score 40 imo

Ppl are downgrading him bc of his lack of goal scoring

It’s a justifiable black mark on his progress,
and at least calls into question whether or not he can reach a ceiling where he’s a 25 goal scorer

It’s fair for ppl to be worried about his potential at this point

I made a late edit, Domi has double the primary assists per 60 over Reinhart, and Reinhart has double the goals. Domi would have created so many goals for Eichel imo

They didn't want a repeat of recent years. They want to go back to it being the hardest tournament with the winner being lucky to break par for the week. Today seems like a bit of an overreaction compared to Thursday and Friday though.

Could he....?
Maybe

It’s fair to question it at this point

And with Domi obviously having trouble putting the puck in the net himself,
trading for him would have a pretty high “bust potential”
Bc if he & Jack didn’t click,
the 10ish goals a year would just be brutal

I think he still has potential
But you’ve gotta be able to see why ppl are questioning how high a ceiling he can reach at this point

Apparently I’m not old enough to appreciate Golf, or hip enough to like soccer

Both just bore the hell out of me

I’d legit rather watch sports u might see on “the ocho” instead
