Holy Hell that's like more than half of the game no there. Id have been furious

I heard the NHL 15 for this season was pretty choppy and had issues. For PS4, they rushed it so it cut out A LOT of things like Winter Classic, Be A GM would only go 5 years and you'd have to start over, I even heard that in some cases all of your prospects if you sim a season would not increase their stats one single point. Some bugs for individual play because it was basically rushed out and made so you can do the online gaming and all of that all-star card collecting thing that kids do on there these days.

It's downright awful. The checking is borderline WWE and there is no such thing as just solid goaltending. he's either getting pulled or putting up a brick wall.

Game modes even worse. You can't edit players, which is particularly bad for the sabres. Gorges 85 ovr, Ristolainen 79 ovr. Even worse? Zadorov, McCabe have a higher ceiling/growth rate than him. Oh and Mcdavid needs 2 years in junior before he's good enough to play on your 3rd line...

I bought nhl 15 half price. It's not worth more than ten dollars. It's embarrassingly bad.

He sucked in NHL 14 too. Amazes me. Dose Laurent Dauphin become a HOFer in 2015 too?

Not any more. And at least in 14 you could edit, and the draft order made some sense.

....No..way

It's downright awful.. Oh and Mcdavid needs 2 years in junior before he's good enough to play on your 3rd line...
- Sabresfan-365

Maybe they know something everyone else has missed. He is going to the Oil don't forget.

Well eichel is the obvious.

I really hope that we can flip that #21 and a 3rd or 4th rounder in this year or next years draft (or perhaps Foligno in this deal) into a top 6 RW. Maybe Okposo if best case scenario. I'd also really like to see Loui Eriksson here. At the end of the day, i also have a hunch that Chris Stewart might sign back here.

In goal... I want to wait until teams see who slides out of the 1st round to trade or use the 31st pick. I'd like to get one of the goalies at 31 if possible. If we trade fora Lack or Howard type goalie.. I hope it is the 51 they use. I hope Grigorenko is in an outgoing deal as well.

Yourself?
- JVince11

For Goalie...
I'm not really excited at all about Lack, Talbot, etc
And I don't want any of the guys we had last year back
My preference is to get a guy who can develop into our future #1 (like Gibson)
But we'll see what Murray can pull off

It doesn't make sense to me to buy out Hodgson
I'd like to play him & get his value back up a little bit so we can then move him for something decent at the deadline or next summer. If he gets playing time w decent linemates, I think he can be back in the 20goal range

As far as RW goes...
I don't want Stewart or Eriksson. I'd rather aim higher. And if we can't get someone like JVR or Simmonds, then I'd rather not get someone this year. No need to rush it, let's make sure we get the RIGHT guy

For who we pick...
2) Eichel
21) I'd love if Konecny falls
31) if Kylington fell here I'd be ecstatic
51) take a goalie... Possibly Vladar. He's one of the 4 goalies that will be picked by the end of round 2. And Murray likes big athletic goalies, he's 6'5. We might have to trade up to get him though. If we can't get a goalie we like here, go defense again.

I guess that's my general wish list

I also don't wanna see us trade any of our defensemen unless it's for one hell of a forward. True top line guy.

We'll see what Murray has up his sleeves though

I believe this was missed in all of the NHL 15 talk:

One non-expansion note: NHL was hoping for a new transfer agreement with KHL. May not happen now. Both leagues will continue to respect...


So that whole letting Grigo go to Russia thing...

Or the Grigo to Colorado thing with Zadorov...

89, enjoy yourself tonight at the awards.

I'm fairly surprised at the lack of "chatter" leading up to this draft.

I would think once the first trade is done, probably on Friday, others will fall right after that.

I have a feeling the first trade will be a Buffalo Sabres trade.

I think Talbot and Sharp are the first dominoes to fall and i can't see either deal involving us.

It could be. Maybe before Friday.

Just a hunch but I think Sharp goes to Florida, not Toronto.

Probably, JJ all but back-tracked on his rumour (wouldn't be the first time).

I'm interested in the movement with the top 10 picks. Sounds like more than a few are in play.

- Stripes77

is this regarding the KHL being able to strong arm a player going from the NHL to the minors? im not real clear on what the agreement even is between the KHL and NHL. I still think the NHL should just tell Russia to F-off. if you're getting paid by a club, the club does what it likes with you. if you don't like it, go back to Siberia.

And Bickell

- Sabresfan-365

1st round picks won't be moved for either of these players IMO. Not until the later first rounders, with Buffalo at 21 I think they are involved first

If Arizona moves 3, the fireworks will commence.

No but the trades could get done before then.

I'd be really shocked if Edmonton was still picking 16. I'd love to see Murray move up but i think someone will fall to 21 and they'll just pick there.
