If the Sabres trade a 2nd for Puljujarvi. Are you upset?
- ImThatGuy

41? Yes. Next year, No.

Interesting. Rochester for sure if he wants

Yes. That and RhD.

I am not yet convinced on Tage as a 1C...I hope like hell he continues to develop, but I'm not firmly in that camp yet.
Cozens seems like Cirelli type...better suite for 3C IMO
Krebs, Mitts are both up in the air. What are they exactly?

Sabres need for 3 out of 4 of them to hit. I can't count on that.
Savoie should be solid. If so then Mitts and Krebs go to wing or are used as trade bait.
- IonSabres

You would have said c and rd before goalie?

I’m going to pretend they took Kulich at 16 and Ostlund at 28.

Other then that, Lots of skill and speed added to the organization today
- Pegullaville

They would need to attach giant compensation to get rid of Jones. It seems that 9 million dollar contracts don't go away easily....
- Slump Buster

No they won’t, he’s a RD. Those are coveted.

They’d have to take a cap dump back probably, but he’ll have value.

Draft speed and skill. Trade for grit
- Stripes77

And a goalie?

He won't unless we trade up. But with Chelsey, Luneau, Casey and a few other RHD in range, they should be able to get a good one. Forwards I like at 41 are Hughes, Schaefer, Perevalov (some like him better than Yurov),
- turbo044

Any thoughts on Trikozov, Kyrou, or Luneau?

You think we should have picked him?
- The_Inkwell

Yeah for sure. I like Kulich just fine, but Howard had one of the best years at even strength for the NTDP.

From 2012-2019, of the 10 closest players in terms of even strength primary point production, 6 of them are NHLers

Zegras, Keller, Caufield, Wahlstrom, Bellows and Bobby Brink.

Yes. That and RhD.

Isn't Peterka primarily a center as well?

Exclusively either wing I’m pretty sure

Trust the process?

I liked Kulich better, we didn't need another 5'9" forward
- turbo044

Thats a bad reason to avoid drafting a player in this day and age. Like I get wanting someone who is 6'6 for the right reasons like reach or if they actually use it to be strong on the puck, but these days unless the production is bad 5'10 is worth the gamble.

Kane, Toews, Jones, all should be traded.
- ImThatGuy

No one is taking Toews and that contract

And a goalie?
- Gr8daygo

They need one asap.

Trust the process?
- PrinceChill

The sixers ruined it for me.

- ImThatGuy

Not a chance. He is a slightly better Risto.

- Fattony1187

At the deadline someone will but Chicago will need to hold half of the salary

The sixers ruined it for me.
- Michael Ghofrani

They picked my guy at 9. So I promised myself not to complain about the rest. But I kinda sorta quasi wanted to.

Adam’s talked to every team about moving up.

Not a chance. He is a slightly better Risto.
- Slump Buster

murphy?

murphy?
- TheSabresTaco

Seth Jones.

Well still plenty of good players left. Some decent RD there. Think it might be time to use some of that draft capital and move up from 41.

- PrinceChill

I agree - Savoie is who I wanted, so thrilled. Oslund was probably a reach by about 6 picks but Kulich was picked 10 places after I thought. so overall, we had some premium in our picks

You would have said c and rd before goalie?
- lacaprup

I'm confused....thought we were talking draft wise for positions relative to the capital necessary to expend on trading for Cat. Yes, G short and long term needs, although drafting one until 4th round probably. To use their early picks on a G is insane. Hence why with their 1st puck I am very happy to add Savoie a C.
