Playmaking wise yes. Overall hockey sense and 2 way game not close.

Reinhart's father said he is an Anze Kopitar type center. That's exactly what the Oilers (and Sabres) need

Fair enough.. I want him he's my number 1 guy on my boards by a pretty wide margin.. I just think it wouldn't make as much sense for them as it would us. Hopefully we win the lotto or a team that will only draft Ekblad does... Even though as I've pointed out D don't usually go 1st

I get what your saying but not entirely sure that's what he meant.. hope your right rather than what I thought it might be.

Any draft lottery changes will effect the 2015 draft.

No team can move back anymore than one position.

100% agree.

Put him on a line with Hall and Ebs and enjoy the magic.

They need a true #1 or #2 center. Gagner is not the answer.

They are all set on wingers at the moment, which is where the others will more then likely start their careers at. It's the reason they are listed as c/lw hybrids. Grigorenko was listed the same way c/rw. Many of us said if they are going to play him right away they should play him on the wing 1st. IMO had they of done that, he would be further along in his development.

Never knew Grigs to be a hybrid thought he was a true centermen.. I know Girgs is a hybrid though

Many places had him as a tweener. Mainly because his play in his own end was severely lacking.

Even Malkin started his career on the wing.

I think Ebs might be the odd man out in the offseason.

I don't think it's plausible they move Yakupov just yet, and Hall is a keeper.

Agree but only cause Yaks value is in the toilet.

I had no idea the Sabres were playing tonight. That is how much these last few games and this season has meant to me

Hey guys, I ended up catching the game last weekend in Buffalo vs the Lightning.

I took away a few things from the experience.

1. The Sabres, for being bad, played their asses off.
2. The crowd was way more into it than I'd thought they'd be.
3. The arena is really nice.
4. Never made it to Duffs, but hung at Pearl St. Brewery before the game, nice place.
5. There is NOTHING around that core in terms of variety stores to buy American Cigs!!

It was a hell of a fun time. This whole not being able to smoke during intermissions kinda sucked though. But it was refreshing to see a hockey team play a team game, and hustle all night long.

I'll make it back up again soon for sure. It was a blast

Oh, and sabre merch was cheaper to buy than OHL merch.....so I bought a buncha stuff

My mock 10:
Oilers win Lotto

Oilers - Reinhart
Sabres - Ekblad
Panthers - Draisaitl
Islanders - Bennett
Flames DelColle
Hurricanes - Nylander
Jets - Virtanen
Ducks - Ehlers
Predators - Perlini
Nucks- HoSang
- Mentalorgasm5

hosang top ten ? I dont see it if we take a defenseman second overall I will break my (frank)ing computer

They'll have to travel to do that.

As a non smoker, I like that people can't smoke during intermissions. Keeps them from coming back and sitting next to me smelling like an ashtray.

Hello, I am a horse. What's new in Sabreland? My phone score updates tell me not much.

In other news I heard the Bills made a good trade though I don't know any of the details since I don't like the Bills.
