I wouldn't hate this

But then we have Jack Eichel and Rasmus Dahlin and that's about it.

So, what, draft 5+ players in the first round the next 2 drafts and expect it to just work?

Ok.

Let's say we get a Pastranak, a Girgensons, an Ennis, a Pysyk and a Zagrapan. Will it have been worth it?

No we would suck still

Getting an extra 1st or 2 for skinner could allow us to go after a rfa

But then what was it all for just to blow it all on one player anyway?

Malkin looks like he needs a change.

That's the 1st we should trade

Do it.

Great finish

I have no issue with that

Good lord

I'm gonna need a bottle of jame-o, a pot of Colombian black high test, and 2 packs of Marb reds with the filters ripped off. We'll figure this out

And they wouldn't have won two cups without trading a 1st for Kessel
- jcragcrumple

I’d rather have Barzal then Kessel. They still would have won their cups with those three down the middle.

I have no faith in either goalie we have moving this team forward

Please start treating Dahlin like the #1 D he is

They would have won 2 cups starting 3 years ago with Barzal?

Well that was quik

I love the 6 mill 4th liner we have.

Can't slow down the speed

Erod is the truth

E rod has been descent

He's obviously a time lord.

No but they could have won last year and would be my cup favourite this year and next. Having Kapanen and Barzal on that team and losing Kessel they are a damn good team and much younger.

Much bigger issues in the short term

Maybe coaching is one

This season will help him .

Many Sabres made many good plays that shift.

It was a clinic in retaining possession even when they didn't have complete control.

Kessel should have been the Conn Smythe winner in '15-'16

To deny that trading a first for Kessel is anything short of a win for Pittsburgh is insanity
