Hard to argue that trade, but it didn't win either franchise a cup

Before my time, but it looks like Lawton played for 9 seasons. I still have Yak as the ultimate buster

Wasn’t there a deal in place with Toronto for a swap of Sittler for #11?

For those that care...

In preparation for the Mock Draft run by Jan Levine, here is a short Survey to gather your input, which I plan to use in helping to make the Selection for the Sabres at 7.

I'll be happy to share the results and be as transparent and inclusive with you as possible in making the selection with JerryJ22.


https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RJM77SJ


3 Questions focused on narrowing down the options at 7...estimated to take 5 minutes, and I would appreciate your input.

For those who don't care ... carry on with the Trade Jack discussion.
Couldn't we get more for Dahlin? Maybe package them for Tankathon 2019 -> 2025

In hindsight, I'm not sure how I feel about it, but at the time it was a great hockey trade.

According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, another source believes that the Yankees are going to land Dallas Keuchel and that they are emerging as the "true favorites" to sign him.
This comes just minutes after Feinsand reported that the Yankees and Braves were the favorites and that their offers were believed to be similar. Perhaps something changed overnight, but it wouldn't be a shock to hear the Yankees have jumped in front. They could use another quality arm as the year moves along. All signs point to this situation moving quickly now that draft pick compensation is no longer an issue.


This is good for me
- SABRES 89


Excellent. I hope he signs.

Plus the team is finally inching to being healthy again.. more or less. It will be nice to get Didi, Stanton and Judge back.

They said Corbin and Machado were going to be Yankees also, we know how that worked out. I'm not holding my breath.

actually my questions was the sabres record with eichel, vs the other super stars record in their first 4 seasons


this has nothing to do with reinhart

- homiedclown



What's Reinhart's record vs. Other #2 picks?

Same as John Jack, but alot less points and skill

" other superstars" also implies John Jack is a superstar.
I have Samson as a good nhl player.

According to a source, pending UFA Erik Karlsson would like to get offers from Ottawa and Montreal.
The Senators tried to sign Karlsson before they felt forced to trade him to San Jose, so it's unclear how the situation would be any different this time around. Still, there appears to be some hope because his wife, Melinda, would like to live close to her family again. She was born and raised in Ottawa. Karlsson will have plenty of interested suitors and he wants to win, so it would be highly unlikely that a return to Ottawa would be in the cards. Perhaps a team close to Ottawa would be a better fit for him and his wife when they consider their options.

Not really @ you, 89, but here is to the larger convo.

A friend of mine is good friends with a former 2nd overall pick that some would say has had a disappointing career hampered with injuries. Went to his wedding and has been to his home in Idaho. Got him into red wine. Not Eichel or Reinhardt. Rhymes with Robby Byan.

Anyways, apparently Karlsson hates going out for dinner and being interrupted by annoying douche sens fans (are there any other type?) while eating in restaurants. Prefers more anonymity while he dines and not 34 douches walking up to him and asking for a selfie.

If his wife want to live close to home, and snaps the whip, I can see him going back to Ottawa. Montreal? Their rabid fan base is even more obnoxious and douchey.

Buffalo, despite its amount of douches, may be a good landing place for him.

Question for you all

What would cause you to consider trading the 7th overall?
The more specificity the better in describing the trigger...don't necessarily need Player names, maybe descriptions of player / position.
I.e. young Center with 2nd/1st upside ...already producing 45+ points (Example only)

Injuries, obviously, skew that.
