Can't be mad we lost out on Veleno, I think we all knew he was going in the 1st no matter what. I'm really liking the options we have for tomorrow.

botts has choices


I like it

My offer of patches and Montreal’s top two 2nd rd picks for O’Reilly shouldn’t be laughed at anymore.

I think patches and two of the top ranked guys we would get with their picks would be a haul.

The Sabres won the first round simply by getting Dahlin, but man.....Detroit isn't that far behind with the way things fell for them.

The Islanders did very well, too

Wilde and Noel are absolute steals.
- Lunaion

draft Wilde.... boom!

And basically a first rounder



Welcome to buffalo Akil Thomas

If we kept patches, getting him with Wilde or Noel would be a haul.

If we traded patches prob would fetch a 1st and a good prospect at deadline so

A 1st, two 2nds (high ones) and a good prospect. Although it’s not for established players the value I would consider a haul. More then we traded to get him.

30-35 goal scorer and 2 fringe first rd prospects


not a bad haul

- homiedclown

Agreed

Who is everyone's top 3 in order? Mine

Noel
Wilde
Thomas

That's a haul of manure imo

So 5 players listed in the top 30 who were slated to go in the first fall out to the second where we pick first. Do we go Defense or Offense? Who is the best of who is left? Hopefully we can get a steal with who we pick at 32. What do you guys think?
- Sabrehagan

Knowing what we do about JB, it'll just be the top guy on their list. Probably Noel, maybe Wilde.

The Islanders did very well, too
- jcragcrumple

Agreed on both. Lou Lams is the man.

How isn't ROR worth more to the Yotes than whoever Barrett Hayton is? Could've had Zadina or Wahlstrom.

and if you trade ror for max and their first 2 seconds


you get a 35 goal scorer and 3 guys I just listed

draft Wilde.... boom!
- gordong

Wild does fill a need being a Right Shot D which may give him a sleight edge over the others. Also, when you got guys like Noel and Thomas who would also be good choices do you pass on them because they are both Right Shot players and we need Left Shot Forwards?

Draft Wilde and build some d-men depth.... for once!

The ranked #3rd best European skater, Vitali Kravtsov wasn't selected either.

That's a haul of manure imo
- jcragcrumple

I think Pacioretty is a better player than RoR


usually whoever gets the best player wins the trade




unless tim murray makes the trade

I admire what Chayka's done, despite being screwed over by the lottery a few times now. RoR just doesn't fit what he's doing....would have been nice to get up there though.

Yes.... that rhd, would be nice org depth...

doubt he gets picked in the first half of second rd either

Botterill mentioned Bogosian as one of the players to help support Dahlin in his first year....

"Here Rasmus - This is how you get hurt and still make millions of dollars. Or if you play don't keep an on eye on your guy in the zone. You really don't need to worry about that! "
