For a little perspective on just how good McDavid might be...
These are the stats for the last 6 guys chosen #1 overall through 38games in their draft year:

Stamkos... 33g-29a-62pts
Tavares... 35g-33a-68pts
Hall... 29g-39a-68pts
Nugent-Hopkins... 10g-49a-59pts
Yakupov... 30g-35a-65pts
MacKinnon... 27g-38a-65pts

McDavid... 37g-63a-100pts

Wow. I didn't realize just how good a year he was having till I saw this statline...

He is why this year will be worth it. Eichel will be good too, Ill be phycially ill if we get neither of them.

Robin Rehgier = 15 years in the NHL and is a MINUS -4 in this 4-1 Jets lead......hang'em up bud!

That myth was put to bed by Hamilton weeks ago.
Another ignorant statement.

I wasn't really talking about Murray but whatever. I could literally care less if Nolan is here or not, if he's our coach, fine, if they let him go, I'm fine as well. Pretty sure we could find someone out there just as good or better.

I adore how the newbies just sheep right along.
- BuffaloHardHat

Newbie as you say to posting...ive been reading this site for yrs hat...i believe your old avatar was some stick figure banging his head against the wall...but it was tough for this sheep to see through his wool...

Oh I believe its much more complicated than I'm ranting on about. I just like to play the dodecahedron of all views. It's fun to create scenarios, good and bad

With all those draws, who's to say they can't slip one past the auditors?

Hamilton puts it to bed????

Give me a break, This supposed MYTH about Nolan and his GMs is not a myth its the BED NOLAN sleeps in! He will never coach in the NHL at the end of this Buffalo Wrapped Gift!

On now NBCSN:

NHL Toughest Places to Play - #8 Buffalo Memorial Aud


Great highlights of some great memories of that place! Miss it........

Sekera Plants Stafford from behind directly into the glasss.....nasty!

Myers teamed up with Adam Pardy on PK....this is awesome to watch!

It's decision time. Yotes are far worse than Sabres. Make a big move with UFAs and other players. Add to what you've acquired and play out the season, let chips fall where they may and make big moves in June. All management in Phoenix on board with tank and Ted has been road block. I would like McEichel but it's looking like another "wide right". We can't even lose to win!!! Please send valium.

Love Ted. But he's done. Mouth is too big.

Latvia, here I come.

The announcers for NBC just called Ted Nolan's son on LA "Owen Nolan!@!!"

It's not even trading Myers. It's trading him plus 4 other pieces to get 2 guys Winnipeg considered underachievers
- sbroads24

If the sabres kept Lemieux or Armia, I would have liked this deal

Right now I am blah on it

Not ignorant at all. Sure he does some 'coaching" but he is by no means an X-O guy.

Very articulate and informative response.

As per your usual. I wish your high standards applied to posts on Hockey Buzz.

The Yotes at least look competitive in games, we look terrible. Wouldn't shock me if they swept us and the games weren't close. Our goaltenders will have to stand on their head for us to win. I just don't see that continuing. We just go out shot by 30 by Florida, this is a very bad hockey team.

Breaking news

Jagr is still good, I would give him 5 mil for 1 year or 8 mil for 2 on July 1st

- Homer

Yeah his greatest "coaching" this yr was motivating his players by telling em if you play good you can get out of here..great coach

Then you have no deal......
- Homer

If kane is not a first line player, 70 point per year guy, we lose this trade

If the sabres kept Lemieux or Armia, I would have liked this deal

Right now I am blah on it

I'm excited for it.

Kane will have something to prove.

I agree.....the picture of professional !

He would be a nice winger when we are in the O zone, and Power Play......
