I don't think a deal like this makes sense for Buffalo. I also don't think that ROR gets moved prior to the draft, I believe it could happen on the floor. I'm very aware that the Sabres would much rather get a 1st round pick in return, it just doesn't make sense to pull off a blockbuster within the division.




I can assure you that the KHL will be expanding further into Europe once the league has taken care of the deduction process. A few more teams will have to leave the league before the next step in leagues development and expansion will be taken. Where could KHL be going next? I don't know for certain but the sense is that London is a lock.




I think he is good to go for anything over 50 points. I will be clearly shocked if it is anything under that.




I don't have the details necessary to speculate or predict on the matter however if I had to make a wild guess the Los Angeles Kings make sense to me. It's still very early into the process so my guess is as good as anyone's.
