Interesting. That's a shame it's not identical. Would be fun to run some mock drafts and play games with the drafted guys.
- sambarugh

Well the best guys aren't always the right guys either... There are times when random people that i've never heard of are the "top rated" guys.

I think I drafted Grigorenko in like the 3rd round one time..

Another time I just traded all the best players on a team and loaded up on draft picks for last year's draft and tried to get as many as I could across the rounds...

I think I ended up with Grigorenko, Yakupov, Galychenyuk, Teravainen, Samuelsson, Ceci, Faksa, Dumba and Trouba..

Yup, it's easy to snag #1 picks, too.

Yep the picks are worth more then the player lol. I wait till the player is drafted and get him for basically nothing.

your daughter must be a bundle of energy if without her makes things a bit calmer lol.

I dont think Nill wants him. Lindy does but they know how much he is really worth..0. I am hoping he is sent to WPG still...

do you think that rumored deal for Burmistrov could still be in play?

Yes. we will need to kick in a 2nd i believe though

EDIT: Darcy loves Drew. I mean loves. that is the hard part. i also know he values those 2nd rounders this year though so its on him

Darcy needs to get over it and pull the trigger, I really hope we see Stafford moved in the coming weeks. Dont know if I can stomach another year of him

Dont want him.

why not give him a shot???? All we lose is Stafford really......

He would be a good insurance policy if Grigs completely poops the bed next year

I like him as a third line center........much rather have him than Porter

I agree.... If the cost is just Stafford and his big ugly contract then i would do the deal. We have 7 2nd round picks in the next 4 years I think..

Burmi could be a nice asset to have on our 3rd line THIS season... the only problem is that starting next year or even perhaps this year... I envision Larsson or Girgensons being our 3C behind Hodge and Grigo.

Can Burmi play wing? Can Larsson play wing??

Girgensons - Larsson - Burmi

that would be pretty damn ruthless as our 3rd line.

I wouldn't worry too much about Staff, he has 2 years left . same as Leino

That is true.

Larsson and Girgs had good chemistry in Rochester with Girgs playing center.

I would think that the Sabres would hope that the chemistry between them will carry over to the NHL……..that would be part of a solid 3rd line, or even 2nd for that matter.

I think that Ennis should be moved back to wing….or be traded. I am hoping for Hodgson to be our 2nd line center, and Grigs our 1st line center.

I think we draft a defenseman at 8…..so Burmi could come in handy for the next few years.

They way I look at this team in 2014-2015 barring any trades for new players..

Armia - Hodge - 1st Rdr (Nichuskin)
1st Rdr (Mantha) - Grigo - Foligno
Girgensons - Larsson - Tropp/Flynn
Tropp/Flynn - ?? - Kaleta

Ehrhoff - Pysyk
Myers - McNabb
Weber - McCabe
Ruhwedel

Enroth
Hackett
Makarov

Gerbe is gone after this year.. Stafford gets traded for a draft pick... Leino is bought out after another injury riddled or underachieving season this year.. Sekera is traded for a draft pick. Ennis... IDK.. I just don't see him here long term.

I am mystified as to all the love Darcy and Lindy have for Stafford.

Did they not watch him play every night last year?

He isn't really known as a scoring center... or at least I didn't think so..
