Last draft looks solid but only time will tell. I cant wait for Kea honestly. Needs to gain some weight but he has size and developed a scoring touch this year. Think Gaustad who will fight more and score more than 5 goals a year!!
- Stripes77

I meant with the trading up, and yea I think Kea could be an awesome #3/4 C.

You answered wrong, its either agree or disagree.

Sh1t

Edit: Agreed.

Next Year:

Vanek - Hodge - Drouin/MacK/Barkov/Nischukin
Ott - Grigorenko - Ennis
Foligno - Larsson - Leino
- JVince11

You forgot Corey Tropp. Bet he gets called up soon.

I don't know why Hecht is still here?
I'm sure we could've gotten a pick for him

Maybe teams didn't offer Darcy a good enough deal for Staff, or maybe the speculation that the deal didn't get done in time is true?

If Jokinen got a conditional 7th rounder. What would Hecht get us? A turkey sandwich?

without mayo and mustard though... have to buy that seperately...

I see multiple deals for the Sabres at the draft.

It all depends though on what the draft order will be. If we have a top 3 pick we could have a really good off season

-i can´t believe Washignton gave away Forsberg.....would of loved to get him

we already have the man the myth the legend Luke Adam...

I bet Mancari then because Girgensons isn't ready.

maybe tropp??? but that is a long shot.
- JVince11

Tropp isn't ready for the bigs yet (conditioning, knee strength)
Mancari, Mcmuscle or dare I say.... Matt FREAKING Ellis?
or do they go with a kid like Tarnasky or Sundher?

He starts the season here next year if his knee is totaly healthy. No need to bring him up this year

- Stripes77

I think we could easily pull off 2 top 5 picks (one of them our own) and a top 10 if we end up dealing Miller, Staff, and those 2nds.

That's pretty bad.

The worse that the lineup looks only means a higher draft pick.

I'll finally agree with you, what a (frank)ing steal for Nashville...

I like that Adam is gonna get another shot
I was drinking w him, Flynn & Porter last night at Coles

Maybe game shape wise. I saw his first and only game and he was the best player on the team. In spite of his injury, he was pretty darn good in the one recent game I saw. He will be on this team for sure next year if not sooner. Be careful, cowmad is lurking.

I can't wait unitl the draft now.... it'll be like christmas...

I htink that we got all of our picks now.. and at the draft we will be trading them and players like Miller and Stafford in order to get even better draft picks or for a top tier player...

So at the end of this season we will not have 15 players signed and 18+M in cap space.

so

we did not move staff or hecht, I really expected them to get moved

for the pommer deal, nice return
looks like miller will be giving darcy his list of teams in a few months

aside from hecht, all of the ufa's got moved at the deadline, assuming nobody was interested in pardy

I give Darcy a B+ on the past few days

team is making the moves for a rebuild
move 2/3 from staff, vanek and miller this off season and we will finally turn the corner that should have been turned when briere and drury walked

if darcy gets canned this summer, the new gm will be set up for success

Cole's in Pittsburgh?

Next Year:

Vanek - Hodge - Drouin/MacK/Barkov/Nischukin
Ott - Grigorenko - Ennis

Armia has a very good chance to make the team

And Paul Hamilton just said he spoke to Vanek & he is NOT going to stick around for a "rebuild"
Hamilton thinks both Miller & Vanek will be traded this summer

I think we could easily pull off 2 top 5 picks (one of them our own) and a top 10 if we end up dealing Miller, Staff, and those 2nds.

Bishop being traded to Tampa hurt the goalie market I think. There are 2 big name goals going to be on the market and 1 good named goalie. Luongo and Miller plus Mike Smith unless he resigns. Not to mention Backstrom from Minnesota.

I'd look for Washington, Philly, Islanders and Devils to be pushing hard for a goalie, not to mention Edmonton.

If they can work out a Miller for top 10 pick do it depending on if you could get a gap goalie like Smith to take a 2-3 year deal contract not more than 4.5 mil per season.

what time did they get back in town?
