I wish I could say I was upset that the Rangers passed on "x" player... but we don't have a choice for another 50+ picks.

 

Devils have 9 freaking picks tomorrow lol

can't imagine they make 9 picks

 

Sharks pick was used on a obscure pick.

Sweeney is the best GM.

 

Really hope the Sabres can pull off a deal for Cam Fowler tomorrow. I know it's been said here before that Tyler Ennis doesn't fit Carlyle's style, but maybe Zemgus Girgensons does? Or just send #38 to Anaheim straight up I don't care.

How about Buffalo?

 

The Sabres and Leafs rivalry is gonna get big again in the next few years.

Eichel vs Matthews
Alex Nylander vs William Nylander
Reinhart vs Marner
Ristolainen vs Rielly

 

Stamkos vs. his hometown team
Babcock vs. the guy they settled for 'cause they couldn't get Babcock
Me vs. ClarettsGreyGoose

The list goes on.

 

So you think he's going to Buffalo? lol

 

Stamkos going to go to Buffalo once Tim Murray learns from Lombardi how to magically get rid of Evander Kane's contract.

 

Honestly I kinda do. Don't think Tampa's gonna keep him for monetary reasons, certainly don't think we're gonna shell out for him either, don't think he wants to go to Detroit 'cause Detroit is a shit hole, whereas Buffalo he's been linked to if I'm not mistaken, they have the money, space, and supporting cast for him and they're gonna be a powerhouse sooner rather than later.

Edit: Plus it's fairly close to home for him anyway, which I'm sure he'd appreciate.

 

Not an Original 6, only a slightly annoying but tortured fan base, been in existence since before I was born with no Stanley Cup and only two Finals appearances, amazing goal song, an announcer I can't stand but beloved by said fan base, uncivilized city that doesn't even have Uber/Lyft, and overall claim to fame is chicken wings.

Hmmmm......I could live with it.

 

I hate our goal song to be honest hahaha. Out of the songs nominated I was hoping for The Offspring - Coming For You or The Gaslight Anthem - Howl, although neither of them are amongst either band's better songs lol.

 

Is there anyway to watch the first day of the draft again?

since I missed it, it would be nice to watch it again before day 2.

 

It's not worth re-watching.

 

Oh I realize that. From everywhere I looked everyone described it as boring but I'm a sucker for enjoying drafts.

 

Since Hiller is gone, Calgary needed to maintain their competitive advantage of having one of the only goalies in the league to rock non-white-based equipment.

 

Well, if you wanna subject yourself to it, I think NHLN is showing a replay overnight.

 

damn. My tv doesn't get NHLN so I guess I'll have to search on demand tomorrow.

 

Honesty happy with the two picks the Ducks made. If they can get to the season with signing Lindholm and keeping Fowler they'll be in pretty good shape.

 

I can't believe this stupid team went off the board AGAIN. Could've had Chychrun and Debrincat and we ended up with McAvoy (who I like) and a guy ranked in the 50's-60's across the board who has an upside of "third line center". Damn you Don.

 

Isles fans were sad mcavoy went 5 picks before but getting bellows should quell that.

 

Buffalo gets a LHD, and Florida loses around 3 million in cap hit, even it's only for a year. Think that's a good trade for both sides.

 

I like the trade for Buffalo

Can someone fill me in on Yegor Korshkov?
