Ror is probably overpaid but by how much?

For a guy who was a year away from unrestricted free agency to sign / extend with the worst team in the league. That has to factor into "overpayment"

Same with okposo
Overpaid ,but it's buffalo:

We are not a big city
We do not have warm weather during hockey season
We are bottom feeders

No way these guys come here ,unless we overpay

where are the value contracts on this team, not entry level?


its a cap era

Great write up as always.

At this point as a fan:
Looking for excitement and a good game

As I see it:
losing is winning #stealthtank

The more I watch the tournament, the more I get to know the top players in the 2018 draft. Need to hit big time this year.

Most people weren't thinking we would go for Mittelstadt but GMJB saw something in the kid and he appears to have been right. I'll trust who GMJB selects in this daft as well.

Mccabe maybe. Pretty much no one is over achieveing .

Although the caps the same for each team,
It's not an even field.

Geography, team history, winning and even state taxes differ.

We need to start drafting better. And smarten up with the spending. Both of jbotts stronger points.

Mitts is a steal at 8.
Another top 5
Some of the prospects pan out

We are Ready to succeed

I will go on record as saying that I was pissed when drafted the guy who couldn't do a single pull up. After watching him in all 3 World Junior games and seeing his skill set, i can now see what JBotts drafted him. He has been the best player for the States - by far.

Casey could win the Calder next year.

Eichel is gonna have his set up guy and vice versa

Stay away from FA as a PRIMARY way to build the roster.
No short cuts this time, build through the draft with emphasis on D-men.

They may have to step back a wee bit to unload some bloated contracts by packaging
A pick/prospect...short-term pain for long term gain

value 1 year deals like pouliot are fine for the bottom half of the roster

Should have been 5.
At least they capitalized on it.

Is Mitts the US player of the game.

Buffa-Luck bet...
Middlestadt with a breakaway...
10:00 horn sounds a millisecond before he shoots and scores tying goal.
