I'll just suggest you also brace for disappointment if/when it doesn't happen

Ristolainen really intrigues me. I think I see a guy with good size and skill who seems to have the puck skills to produce offensively. A good two way guy who makes a good first pass, has a pretty good shot, a mean streak, and is above average defensively.

Talk me down fellas.

MJL answered. Violates cap limits. IMO, it will happen after the Briere buyout.

And I answered MJL, not one post later.

He's on my list of players for #11, only issue is only see his highlights not any games.

We drove my mom-in-law out to see the hospital where baby will be born so she knows how to get there. Afterward we went to dinner and arrived at the restaurant just before the sky opened up.

Hit a sun shower on the way home and then another storm came by as we sat on our porch. It feels nice outside though.

It's nice now. AC is even turned off.

True, lots of positive scouting reports.....but NOT a lot of full on game views. What does Bill think?

Yeesh. So pushy

In reality, they're gonna land a hell of a player with a lot of promise either way at 11. I won't be disappointed in that they didn't get good youth. It's just a matter of who my first choice would be.

Supposedly the Avs and Sabres have discussed moving Ryan Miller, Mikhail Grigorenko and the 8th overall pick for the first overall pick

Sabres director of amateur scouting Kevin Devine mentioned that there had been talks on WGR radio.

I like Grigorenko, but there's no way I'd take on a $6mm a year headcase goalie. Lesson learned

Beings that I live in buffalo I can confirm there's alot of talk of this trade proposal. I don't think it's enough to get #1 buffalo doesn't want to give up the 16 pick and a prospect supposedly. Guess col wants pysk as part of the deal

If I was Colorado my big issue is taking Miller and his cap hit.

Can I just go on the record as saying I'm praying to God, Jesus, Allah, and anything else holy that the Flyers nab Pulock at the end of the month.

If I can't go on the record, then that's cool too.

By all means...

All right, I need to go make some grub. The baby is telling my wife it's time to eat again. Poor girl has to eat smaller meals more often instead of three regular meals because the baby is so big.

Everybody have a great night!
