Yea. I remember this. Thanks.

I fully expect Armia to be in Buffalo next year... you don't?
- JVince11

Nope, no need to rush the kids.

what other "rumors" have I missed while gone?

what is your best take on who we should take at 8 and 16? or who we should look to trade up to besides the top 5. you are the prospect guy of these parts.
- JVince11

8 ) hunter shinkaruk( we need more speed on this team and a sniper) ( if Lindholm is not there)

Trade up for any of the Big 3 ( MacKinnon, Drouin, Barkov)

(Safe player trade up for Monahan)

16) Pulock, Lazar ( we need this type of player for the Playoffs etc ( great 2 way player a patrice bergeron with a mix of ryan kesler

doesn't help us much next season though

Yea i know we will be drafting top 3 next year i'm ready

Kerby Rychel.

IMO, he is the ROR of this draft that can play on the 3rd line now.

Thoughts on Zadorov or Ristolianin?

Monahan is a 2C rugged kind of player... some offensive and good in all zones right?

Whoa.

I think he starts the Year in Rochester to adjust to the North American game.

Monahan=Toews
Lindholm=Zetterberg

You have Nylander ( michael nylander son), Ekblad ( could be the first overall pick), Reinhardt ( my first overall pick), Ritchie

positions?

Whoa.
- Dirt McGirt

yea.. sadly.. that is the end of the road....

We don't have any top line guys or potential top line guys besides him.

Armia - Backstrom - ??
Grigo - Hodgson - Ott ??
Girgensons - Larsson - Leino

where does Foligno fit in? Does Grigo switch to top line RW and Foligno plays 2nd line?

I hope stafford is traded immediately and not counted on to be in our top 9 next season.
- JVince11

that line up is terrible..

Armia will not be a top line guy next season, Ott is not 2nd line material, grigo needs to start in the AHL and that third line is not good next season.

Thoughts on Zadorov or Ristolianin?

Monahan is a 2C rugged kind of player... some offensive and good in all zones right?
- JVince11

Monahan is a jonathan toews clone any team would be happy to have him .

Zadorov I would say his game is a lot like jared cowen

Ristolianin style of play is like brent seabrook but more physical

positions?
- JVince11

Reinhardt C, Ekblad D, Nylander C ,Ritchie W

positions?

that's a good pick I would be happy with him at 16

- SabresFaninIndiana

that was my point... we just don't have anything to move up the depth charts right now...

I think Grigo needs to be our 2C from the get go... he needs to play with talented teammates.. putting him in Rochester with who?? Girgensons, Larsson, Varone, McCormick, Sundher, Catenacci, Adam, and Boychuck?

yuck...

If you dont get Mackinnon go Monahan. (both toews like) If you cant get him then go Lindholm.

Mantha is the best scorer in this class. I would love to take him at 16 but i feel he could be a bust too soooooo...

and drouin reminds me of kane so much just with an amazing backhand

It's a bit of a reach at 16 as I don't think I've sen him lower than 20th.

Why do you think Mantha could be a bust.. I like his height of 6'4.. but being 178 lbs is pretty string bean-ish... is he defense at all? or just a pure scoreer?

he will be pushed around very easily. I just see him as more of a mason raymond. quick, decent shot but nothing spectacular. many people talk about him like scoring threat of stamkos or tavares...wrong IMO.

and whoever said Rycel is the O'Reilly of this draft can you please watch Monahan first?
