Rodrigues is fast, but doesnt have great acceleration. If he makes it in the NHL, i think its gonna have to be at center.

Wouldn't it be the opposite? If he's on the wing he doesn't have to worry about crossing the entire ice surface all the time, so slow acceleration wouldn't hurt him as much.

I like Zadina a lot, but three teams passed on him from where he was slotted.

I mean, would you trade Dylan Strome for Skinner?

I wouldn’t make the deal if the Sabres didn’t more than likely have 2 additional 1sts

I'd have a top 10 conditional 1st. And then see who's who the day before, sure you never know how the draft is going to shake out even after 1 in some years, but you can get an idea of who should be there when you pick in the top 10.

We had a goalie that was 8th in SV% going into last year... With a GAA very similar to the Superman in Toronto.

Didn't they kick ass for one game right before Eichel got hurt against Boston? Think Jack, Sam and Evan combined for like 6-7 points the game before in the one game they played together.

Lehner sucked. How can you still point out stats from a year before to justify your love for him?
He was horrible, now the islanders are tanking and they got their man.

In net alone we will pick up 10-12 points this season

If you look up you might still be able to see Wetbandits' point passing overhead.

That's a lot of blind confidence for two guys who have never been #1's in the NHL. I hope they are better, but 10-12 from them alone is a ton.

Love this song....got big into ska in 9th/10th grade. Then I discovered metal.

I'll still throw something like this or streetlight manifesto on every once n a while.

Bosstones and Smash Mouth. I was 12 when Fush Yu Mang came out and I thought it was hot poop, I played that CD like 300 times in a couple of months. It's actually got a few decent songs on it.

I don't think he meant all of them. Just that those are the assets with which to work.

I mean, I truly have 0 idea what the Canes would want, but I think Skinner has to be close to the value of O’Reilly.

A top 10 pick would be close.

Now we know why there was so much secrecy around it. It was initially reported as he maybe blew a finger off, not that he pretty much lost his entire hand.

Probably, Skinner's numbers are better, but he's a winger, so it sort of cancels out. But only to a point, because very few wingers can make the impact that even a 2C can make.

Didn't LeBrun say the other day that Carolina wants a 1st round pick, a roster player and a top prospect?
