That's how his generation does it ............ not on what they've actually done ............ but what they think they are worth.

Of all the drafts over the past 8 years, he sees landeskpg as the 3rd best player who was selected as the 2nd forward in his draft year. He is leaving hedman out of his rankings and just looking at forwards

Right, I'm trying to say that in terms of 2nd overall picks who are forwards Landeslog is very good maybe Laine is seen as a slightly better prospect but comparing him to Ovi as a prospect is absurd in my opinion. They may have similar playing styles but Laine isn't close to the prospect Ovi was at the time and that says something because Laine is a great prospect

From what I have seen and read I don't think Laine is that far off. I don't think he has a career like OV, but the difference is to me is that OV had hype for a long time before he was drafted. Similar to Eichel. Laine has really bloomed as of late

I don't know about you guys but I didn't suffer for years to just get an OK player he better be that player that would've went first overall in every single draft but the Crosby one

Are they inclined to give it to him? My guess is trade bait but never know.

not a clue to be honest but I would bring back McGinn before I dish out more money on Foligno.

McGinn would cost $1Million more, but probably a better idea.

I know we have heard that he likes it in Buffalo, but does he like it enough to resign ?

McGinn scored almost 2x the points Foligno did. He's only making $3M you could probably get him for 3.3 or 3.4. It would be a good deal if you could keep it limited in term.
