Correct.

Now we need to add a couple top end players

- grand-magus


Exactly... so adding a guy like Reinhart seems a lot more beneficial then adding a guy like Draistail to me..


our Center position is pretty wide open...

Hodge could be a full time winger now.. so that leaves us with Girgensons and Ennis at Center and neither of them are prototype 1C material.

All signs point to Reinhart.

I agree with this... I really don't think that Ehrhoff puts on the blue and gold sweater next year.

There are too many teams that need D and the UFA pool is shallow and the draft is weak.

I also don't see us taking picks unless it is high picks in next year's draft.

I could see us getting a solid 2nd line player with a year or two of contract left for Ehrhoff... and a prospect or something.

Just makes no sense unless you are getting a star player for Myers. Even so you then have one aging veteran defensemen who will be out of his prime in 2-3 years and a bunch of 18-19 year olds

Are there still whispers going around that Fasching could cut out of NCAA now?

Born 7-28-95 so that means he is 19 at the start of next season.

Reinhart is a natural Center..

I think Draistail and Bennett played some center but are better suited for wing in the NHL the last time I read reports.

I don't see it... they have awesome prototypical 1C and 2C guys.

What they don't have is a top line D man in their system.

This is the main reason I want Reinhart above all. I'm tired of the musical chairs experiment they've been doing with wingers. The only one it's really worked with is Tyler Ennis.

Are you suggesting Myers will be out of his prime in 2-3 years? If so this isnt an NFL running back we're talking about here.

Ha-Ha! The slug returns. I would have thought it would be craftier. Like our logo with Santa's little helper instead of the Bison.

I think he is talking about the supposed star that would be coming back for Myers, who, in theory, would be at least a couple of years older.

The use of old logos makes it kind of funny, so it's OK. This one is much funnier though



Florida, Ottawa and Phoenix are pretty awesome too

I'm going to be VERY interested to see what our team looks like next year on paper.


Hodge - Ennis - Staff
Conachar? - Reinhart - Stewart
Foligno - Girgensons - Flynn
Ellis - Mitchell - Kaleta
Larsson

Myers - Pysyk
Risto - McCabe
Weber - Ruhwedel
McBain

Enroth
Neuvirth


Just throwing darts in the dark here not knowing what we get for Ehrhoff. Grigo and Armia in Rochester?

That one is amazing. I'd be getting t-shirts made if I were an Ilses fan.

totally agree!!! i love the descriptions of Bennett's intangibles but above all i want a true unquestioned #1 center. no shuffling, no "he projects to be a center"...

i want the guy who was born to be a center and has never played anything else his entire career.
