He isn't great in his own end either. If Winnipeg is cleaning house, Ehlers is the guy I'm calling about.

I’ve been impressed by Washington this series.

They are giving Florida more of a fight then I thought they would.

- Pegullaville


They're playing the trap, to the point that sometimes they barely send a player across center ice, and Florida is struggling with it, especially when they don't have the lead.

Their power play has also sucked so far.

Power play is killing them. Could’ve added to lead (in both games lost) and forced Washington to open up like game 2. They better figure it out quickly.

Laviolette is tailoring a style of play to beat a much more formidable opponent.

Kudos to him.

Luck might be finally going the Sabres way

Vegas, Florida

Those picks will be quite appealing

Turning point in that game was the stop on Barkov and the Johansson goal right after

Yes. The draft rules were posted earlier.

It’s another wrinkle in the “tank” conversation.

The reality is top 5 picks hardly get traded, especially to move back.

So if you want one, you need to lose to secure one or hope you win the lotto.

Is there a scenario that Seattle would move back to 9 ? Probably.

It would take a gross overpayment though and it wouldn’t be in the Sabres best interest to do so

- Pegullaville


Fitzgerald indicated he is willing to move 5OA... "Fitzgerald said he’d be open to using that pick to acquire a player “that we know and feel will help impact the results that we are looking for.”

Jarmo being Finnish and all, could have Kemell in that spot at 6.

Guess we’ll find out

- Pegullaville


Jarmo has had 12 picks in the 1st since becoming the CBj GM
None of them has been a player from Finland-
not one
It almost seems like he’s avoiding Finish players on purpose

Since 1987, there have been only 10 trades involving top 10 picks for NHL players.

The last one was 2013, ironically enough was also the Devils, they traded the 9th overall pick to Vancouver for Cory Schneider.

Vancouver selected Bo Horvat with the pick.

It’s rare to trade known top 10 picks, Fitzgerald may be open to it, but it takes two to tango and meet the asking price for the pick
