Housley was pissed about his penalty 140 away from the play.

Ah, thx.

A staggering level of incompetence. He takes a bad penalty, and we all have to watch Wilson and girgs in the top 6 as a result. I'm sure this is a lesson for the 30 year old Pouliot that will alter the course of his career for the better

Tkachuk is ranked 2nd in ISS' midterms.

Food for thought.

Dahlin
Tkachuk
Svechnikov
Zadina
Wahlstrom

If we don't land 1st OA, we're stuck with forwards. I wonder if it would be a good idea to trade back to 5 or 6.

Might be true but I put as much stock in him as I do Nylander. Good at the Jr Lvl but can he transition into the big game?

am only vaguely familiar with them...very late to the scene but a band most definitely worth investigating further

isn't that the question with nearly every player drafted?

They are night and day when it comes to comparing the two play styles. Tkachuk is a warrior with speed. Phsyically dominates Nylander. Nylander has more skill that has yet to translate.

True, but some clearly stand out, generational talent is a strong word, but there are standouts. He is not a generational player or an NHL standout IMO

Yet I should have said

Noah Dobson sleeper pick if we get the screw job and fall out of a top 3 pick. I would take him 4 if the opportunity presents it's self

Can Baptiste play LW?
It would be easier to move him up in the lineup then
Or Okposo played some LW with NyI,
so maybe shift him over

I don’t mind Kane on line3...
maybe he can help it be productive
If we tried Sam at 3C again
(this time it would be with decent linemates!)
Then that would open a spot to move up Baptiste as well

Until last year, E Rod played RW
This season is obviously toast

Let’s give some of these guys a shot in the top6... or at least with better linemates than Wilson, Nolan, etc
I just don’t see the point in that

Hypothetical:

If the Sabres pick 1, and the Coyotes pick 2,

Is this a reasonable trade:

Swap picks and OEL for McCabe

No. You take the stud forwards

I think trying to force reinhart to center was one of housley's biggest mistakes early in the season

I'm saying I would not use generational, maybe standout if he gets more dominant in NCAA

(frank) no you are getting a generational defenseman that is going to be a billion times better then OEL

Too bad I moved out of Halifax before the Mooseheads decacade long studs

Okposo-Eichel-Baptiste
Bailey-O’Reilly-Rodrigues
Kane-Reinhart-Pominville
Pouliot/Girgensons/Larsson/Nolan/Wilson

Heck...
even get Nylander up here on LW

Something like this
Not for the entire rest of the season,
Bc winning in Rochester is still a priority

So i guess maybe not all those guys at once up here...
but when they are up like E Rod & Baptiste,
let’s have them play with Jack & ROR and see what happens

I'm actually hoping that an embarrassing loss tonight gets the ball moving on getting rid of as many of these names as possible. Then they'll have to try new things

Whether or not my hopes were realistic, you have to admit these results have been disappointing.
- Der Kaiser

if you're referring to the team then yeah even i didnt think theyd be this bad. Difference is i don't put that on the secondary guys. Reinhart and Lehner have been major disappointments, and they were both big investments in their own way.
