My Mighty Taco is on Kenmore since I moved. They moved there from Sheridan. Has gone down hill in my opinion. The Super's are no longer super. I go months in between a visit instead of days.

Had one earlier . Feeling the effects already. It's like thunder in the distant.

It should matter. Oliver Kylington who at the start of the season was the clear #4 guy. He got injured. I've seen him as far back as 28/29. To get him at 21 if he were still there would be a coup.

Would you rather draft him instead of trading that pick for an already established NHL player? Probably have to give up more in a trade.

I don't know. You know more than I.

Love me some Mighty..I get the el Niño Burrito and a Super Mighty...then add on Some deep fried J Peppers....usually bottled water.
I now live in Roch, so until the last Year or 2 we didn't have them...so always made the stop we going back to Buff.
Not a Genesee fan anymore...moved on to Ambre beers...and a local Micro ... rohrbachs Scoth Ale might be the best beer I have had...at like 8 or 9%. It does the job very quickly...Love, LOVE. That stuff

Yea, I know it's really hard to get outside of California(and apparently in it, too lol). That's probably why I want to try it so bad haha.

Classy move to thank us(fans), especially considering those last few home games we put him through.

- dadeadhead



I'd be shocked if he falls that far
I'm thinking he goes mid-teens. I'd like him too!

Besides the Chi vs Nsh series, every upset moves the NYi pick up a spot
I think Pitt will get crushed, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if any of the other Series end in upsets

- rmiethaner



Depends who we'd get...
I'd compare his style of play to Pysyk
Has some work to do in his own end though. Would need multiple years in Rochester, and he's gotta bulk up a little.
Here's some scouting info on him if you're interested

I don't think Pysyk's the best example. Kylington's more offensive minded or at least that's what ive seen of him.

Great north-south game, offensive minded and pretty accurate shot

He's pretty good reading the play in his own end but I think his biggest issue is like you said for a D-man he's not very big (i think he's 6 ft and 170?) or at least gets pushed around pretty easy.

Hockeywriters.com had a pretty good right up on him, compared him to toby enstrom, id say that's a closer comparison.

Sorry I missed the conversion earlier. I feel it's important that you all know that I make a comfortable salary working for a company that provides an AR software solution to businesses. Because of my experience in the industry you should pay close attention to my posts about hockey. You may find life lessons that you can carry forth and apply in the important decisions you make daily. Please understand that many people depend on me to provide them with a solution that will make their processes much more efficient. And for this I deserve your respect.

To recap, my posts are important and carry valuable life lessons. Please notice me, my ego is oh so fragile.

I was trying to equate him to someone familiar
Plays the same "steady" style game as Pysyk
Idk how his game will transfer, but he seems to have good offensive upside. Doesn't score a lot of goals though.

So it looks like the Rangers are in some real cap trouble
For next year, the have 66.5mil in cap space used up
They're set at goalie & defense...
But they're in HUGE trouble with their forwards
Only 5 of their top9 are signed
St. Louis is UFA
RFAs include Stephan, Hagelin, Miller & Fast
Shepard is also UFA

Even if they trade Boyle, they maybe have 10mil in cap space to sign those guys and replace Boyle
I wonder who we can cherry pick from their roster?
I've got no clue what they're gonna do. Looks to me like they're screwed

"The Eichel Effect"
His linemates (Rodrigues & O'Regan) point totals last season without him...
15g-21a-36pts
This season with him...
43g-66a-109pts

Regardless of who we get, looks like Kane should be in for a heck of a season

Yeah, I had the same thought...though I wonder if he meant the Mighty that was on Sheridan/Eggert? That's been gone for years now I think, but just last year the Sheridan/Delaware Road Mighty was there as that's the one I go to.

Course, I won't be visiting home this year, but I will be next year for the draft!

Nope, depends on playoff success/failure for the final slotting of playoff teams...e.g. If NYI won it all, they draft 30th. So got to root against them.

Please do tell me your version.

Perhaps you should read the following first.

At the conclusion of the regular season, the 14 NHL teams not qualifying for the playoffs are entered in a weighted lottery to determine the initial draft picks in the first round, seeded according to regular season standing. The 30th-place team has the best chance of winning the lottery (20%) while the 29th-place team has an 13.5% chance of winning, with odds diminishing to a 1% chance for the 17th-place team. A single selection from the lottery pool is made, with the winning team improving its draft position to the number 1 spot, and no team dropping more than one place.

The remaining order is determined by the Stanley Cup playoff results.[7] Whichever team wins the Stanley Cup is awarded the 30th and last pick, while the runner-up is given the 29th pick. The teams eliminated in the conference finals are awarded the 28th and 27th picks, with the 28th pick going to the team with the better regular season record. Remaining division winners are then sorted by points, then the rest of the field are ranked next, filling in the 26th through 15th picks. In both cases, better records result in later picks.[6]
