by the way, did everyone listen to Murray's interview?

He never disappoints, that's for sure. Spoiler alerts: We're picking Eichel, we didn't interview McDavid and we're looking at Samsanov. Possible pick @ 31.

i liked his point about not deviating from the plan just for a quick fix

I don't think it will be a trainwreck at all i like this a lot

Gonna have to move up to top 5.

Strome IMO is going 3rd
Toronto would be stupid not to take him at 4 but Carolina would be even stupider at 5 if he's there.

Nagano says hello.

He's spent the last decade plus doing less coaching and more telling the world what a great coach he is.

Oh, honey....

I have to think if he isn't going to sign with Arizona, he isn't interested in signing here. Giving Arizona the shaft combined with the list of teams that he is talking to tells me he's interested in winning now. As we saw with Mike Babcock, "but we're getting Jack Eichel" isn't a foolproof sales pitch.
- buffalofan19

What does Arizona have to do with this? The team that drafted him was Columbus.

Sabres big on Lehner. Offering up one of our 3rds for him currently.
Holtby on radar too but it depends if they lose out on Lehner. Besides Holtby take a look at other RFA's out there, because Sabres sure are. They want to offer sheet someone this summer. Toffoli, Saad, Tarasenko, and dougie Hamilton are on the radar.

Lots of interest in the Mike Reilly sweeps and if they don't get him and don't trade away that 2nd first round pick we have it looks as if they will use that selection to pick a d man. If Hanifin falls Murray wants to move up with that pick
- Beezer33

Lehner & Reilly seem like reasonable possibilities, but the rest seem like a stretch.

Based on the Bylsma interview, where he stated u build a team from the goalie out (no doubt BC of Fleury letting him down all those times), and previous Murray interviews where he talked about looking fr a young goalie in the offseason...

I fully expect us to trade for one goalie this offseason, and possibly 2
And I agree with this
Goalies aren't as interchangeable (IMO) as a lot of ppl on here try to say.
No team goes anywhere in the playoffs with average goaltending unless the rest of the team is playing amazing.

With so many young defensemen and forwards, it just makes sense to want to have strong goaltending to support the team

this has me a little mad so he's ok with drafting a russian now ? but he passed on Barbashev

I wasn't a big fan of Murray's first draft
(Besides Reinhart)

Lehner. Sucks ass the only thing I'll give up for him is a fourth

and I disagree if hanifin falls I would still take Zack Werenski I think he's going to be way better in the long run and I hope to God we don't go back for a defenseman we draft another forward a stud winger
- gerbe75pts

I like Werenski A LOT too.
Now if he were to fall to the mid-teens I'd jump.
If not, looks like we might be able to snag Roy or Kylington at 21... Both could be an absolute steal at that spot!

I'm still pissed we took Hurley over Santini back in 2013.
And speaking of that draft...
Missing out on Buchnevich, Duclaire & Slepyshev in the 3rd round sucked.
I like Baptiste too, but damn. Really missed an opportunity with those 3 IMO
