Everyone laughs at buffalo but I really like what they're doing. They have some really nice young players on roster and or coming up soon. Then you look at them trading pomminville for #1 pick( zadorov) and drafting risto last year. Trade vanek get extra 1 and 2 pick. Going to flip moulson ( probably for another 1) gonna have at least 5 picks in top 60 this year. Going to rebuild real fast doing that. We don't have to go to that extreme but following that game plan somewhat is what I'd like to see

Buffalo is great at getting value for veterans that they trade away, but at some point, you need to turn that value into wins.

Does Giroux get the empty net? Cause that doesnt count.

Yea? Didn't they also just get done significantly changing the "future" of the team by trading Top Prospect Schenn and promising forward Simmonds for a vet Mike Richards? And then when they struggled they made a tough decision and traded a cap firendly young offensive d-man for a top line scoring Jeff Carter?

If you think of this team in terms of a puzzle, the puzzle is almost complete. Just missing some pieces. You think LA regrets trading Johnson, Schenn, and Simmonds? Just like I wouldnt mind trading Couts, Laughton, or Simmonds. Gotta crack some eggs to make omlettes.

or the Flyers can build thought the draft and be patient like Chicago

Don't like dressing Rosehill and scratching Hall. Why do that?

Only pages 2-17, I would have thought it would have been more. Probably a good call since Rosehill can play on the PK and take faceoffs just like Hall.

Exactly.

They've had a ton of picks over the years... they just seem to have a knack for ending up with middling NHL talent versus picking legit impact players -- outside of Vanek and Miller, the guys they've been so busy trying to get rid of.

Three in a row and a goal from Fraud Giroux is just what the dr. ordered.

We gotta have a guy to match up with Parros.... oh wait! He doesn't play for them anymore... No (frank)ing reason.

You don't trade away assets when you in the playoff hunt. Last year ws the time to do it, but they realistically wouldn't have gotten much back. They aren't getting 1st rd picks back for Mez and TImmo.

I wonder if they'll end up re-signing Moulson.
