I don't know what all the crying is about . That Thompson Kid looks good and seems to like going to the dirty areas. His Father played in the NHL and is a respected
Head coach in the AHL .So I bet he understands hard work pays off. I think you people are underestimating the kid . Did you really expect to get all St Louis's top prospects and a #1 and #2 .
/ I thought Leaf fans were whiners. I put his You Tube pre draft highlights up for you guys.

On paper I say we are similar to what we were. If this locker room thing really was what it was then we may see a vast improvement.

this is a good take

that pretty much says it all

So is jack going after his contract

if this team is not drastically better this fall, then Jack is not an elite center

that's eight years from now...

of course, perhaps it's better to start panicking now

RoR is a very divisive player. Half the people here are happy today, half are upset. It shouldn't bleed over into opinion on Thompson, but it does.

Basically.

I pretty much knew Parayko was a pipe dream alone.

If they had landed Parayko + Thompson, I’d have been thrilled.

I thought to be honest it was going to be Fabbri + 1st rounder

I started worrying about it when we sealed last place in 2015.

When was McEichel going to leave us for Torboston

didn't you notice what he wrote on twitter? and the photo that came with it?

So does that mean McDavid isn't either ?

So, Scott Cullen nailed our entire offseason.

Pretty weird.

Hutton
Sheary
ROR to Blues

Just one more reason that is one of the worst movies ever.

are we closer to the panthers or devils with all of our additions and subtractions, than we are to the red wings, habs, rangers and islanders?

Top 6 - took a hit.
-I liked ROR and Sam together. Hopefully, Sam and Mitts can find chemistry.
-LW is currently a disaster...not sure how they fill that void...Sheary and??? Hopefully someone can step up.
-RE, if TNT is on line 1 with Jack, holy unwarranted promotion. I like Oposo the Chinaman there, but whatever.

Bottom 6 - got much better, we should see some increase in secondary scoring.
- Bergland, Sobotka, Pommer, Wilson, a couple of the kids (?) Should be an upgrade and hopefully take some D responsibilities off of what was our 2nd line....so better utilization of talent.

TOP 2 PAIRINGS - got better with Dahlin...
-wish they could have acquired a solid #2 Dman to push Risto down to where he belongs.
-would liive to see Pilut push for a spot here eventually.

Bottom 3 D - if Beauliue and Gorges aren't in it, it is improved.

Goalie - vastly improved

Prediction 84 points

We have already wasted 3 of his years I'm pretty sure we can Breeze by 8 like nothing happened

didn't get the pieces right for the ROR deal :/

Prediction 84 points
- IonSabres

my guess right now is 84-88 points

things can change quick though

one or 2 kids get hot and earn a promotion

I'm sure Pat Kane will come home when he's 36

We always get them when.they're at the prune stage

my guess right now is 84-88 points

- homiedclown

84-88 ponits ?

I'm saying around 67

But I do love his Nick name

Hopefully they do something cool at the arena and play the TNT song If he scores every time

..........
- SABRES 89

and they say we were negative

my guess right now is 84-88 points

As of right now I'm at 82 points for 2018/2019. If Botts can somehow secure a Top 6 LW or if Bustlander/Oloffson pleasantly surprise, who knows where we'll end up?
