Broberg at 7? That would be somewhat less than bueno. Fine player, but I'd rather they go for help up front.
- PrinceChill

they really like 3 kids up front

if they are all gone, don't be shocked if they grab the d man

botts is drafting the best player, not position of need with this pick

vesey has a better 5 on 5 goal per 60 after 3 seasons then eichel had


NOT A DIG AT EICHEL JUST STATS

I'm fine getting him. It probably won't cost much.

you need to watch more games and less fancy stats
- homiedclown

you do know the fancy stats are taken directly from said game, yes?

They're not a substitute, but if a player is trash in almost all of the publicly available data, you at least need to ask the question "is this guy really that good or bad?"

Pass on the squirt, get a center.

Suppose it went:
Hughes
Kakko
Turcotte
Byram
Caufield
Zegras

You have a preference between Dach and Cozens?

I think the closest one to succeeding is the original. And I could see why some fans wouldn't want to do it, but it's certainly not "concussion level" or whatever DD called it.

3 1st rd picks(2019 1st, 2020 1st, and Mitts) for Point and 2 cap dumps is an awful deal for Buffalo.

So yes one should get their head examined if they think that’s even close to a good deal.

2020 1st, Mitts, and a spare part or two for Point I can see but why are we sending another 1st for two sticks in the mud? If anything they should be sending us a 1st to take those two. That’s the head shaker.

Cozens, Zegras or Dach. Any of those 3 and I am happy. However, I would take the squirt over the Russian any day of the week.

tough call but I would lean toward Cozens.

Are we over Dzingle?

He'd be a fine addition.

They were actually the same. Tie goes to the guy who is something like 4 years younger

Hmmmm. I'll try not to be shocked. I'm assuming you'd tell me the three if you knew them, so I won't ask. Here's to hoping one of them is there...

Point was a top 10 player this year. Mittelstadt might be good some day. Same with the other two firsts.

Nobody needs their head examined

I'd rather go with Connolly.

You do if you’re taking Callahan and Gourde(6 yrs @ 5.1) back in the deal.

Joe Thornton was a top 10 player and didn’t get that kind of return.

Isn't that cause they ran his reputation through the wood-chipper?

Yep. If we added Roslovic, Vesey and Connolly the top 9 would look a lot better.

[quote=Mentalorgasm5]The nhl is the least progressive league in sports. It doesnt matter how you get good players, you just need good players.

When you're wasting cap on crap, you'll be a bottom feeder.

Scandella 4
Bogosian 5.14 (wasnt bad last year, just wasnt worth the hit)
Okposo 6
Hunwick 2.25 (or something similar)
Sobotka 3.5
I dont even like Sheary at 3

We are bleeding cap. The only positive, is all but one are off the books next

Bogo & Okposo = GMTM
Scandi, Hunwick & Sobotka = Botts

Thank God all but Okposo are off next season.

And, I hope Botts does not bring back Pommer. I always liked him, played the game the right way for a guy who is soft. I don't care if he plays for free lol. Find other guys who can start to turn around the middle six for the long haul.

- Sabresfan-365

Maybe?

Marco Sturm, Wayne Primeau, and Brad Stuart is what they got for a guy that ends up winning the Hart and Ross that season.

These guys shouldn't cost too much, right?

Connolly is going to get paid by someone.

Vesey and Roslovic no but Connolly being a UFA will cost, won't kill your cap though.

Vesey is not good at the hockey
- Sabresfan-365

He’s really not bad offensively

Taking those 2 camp dumps would be a horrible move.

You cant build a team if you are paying your bottom six and bottom pairing more than your top 6

you'd absolutely have to move some contracts. But Id be willing to risk that for Point.
