You wouldn't want the sure thing with Jaden Schwartz?
I like kyrou but he reminds me of the lower tier people like Brian little , Marcus Johansson etc

good point...salary cap looks to be $80 million next year...three years from now when Dahlin will be getting his raise, it could be around $90 million, give or take...I think they could handle a couple of million

Retaining would sting, but if they could get a winger they see fitting with Jack and a goalie, I'd do it.

LeBron is my second-favorite player all time but he got away with goaltending in game 5

And the series might have been over in 6

But he does what he does best be the clutch king

in 2019-20, cap friendly has the sabres at just under $40M with seven players signed including jack, Moulson and pommer will be off the books (barring buyout ramifications) and bogo will be in the final year of his contract

The HFB people also thought crosby was too soft for the NHL. Why you would choose that as a source is beyond me

bron is a bad mo-fo...plain and simple...

he needs one of his role players to step up in each quarter for them to win...I think there are games where he knows it's fruitless and they end up getting blown out...at least when it came to Indy...but he's raising the level of the role players around him

Right, the issues start the following year. Have to start paying Casey, probably Sam, Guhle, a goalie, etc. Then Dahlin the next year.

that would be three years down the road...the trick may be to have the prospect pool developed enough to have quality players on the cheap balancing out those big salaries

I would love a prospect but I want the sure thing for Jack I'm sure they want an NHL roster player

If we somehow trade up to 4 or 3 I believe those two would be in the NHL next year so that's a different story

German winger blessed with good size, and hands. Was relegated to a smaller role and spare part on the powerful Vaxjo Lakers Champions League finalist team. At times looks like an outstanding developmental prospect who can send the opposition reeling by virtue of his going to the front and driving through traffic. Has a good hockey IQ and excellent vision, which, along with his high end passing ability, would have teams viewing him as a really nice late first round option. His soft hands thread the needle with the best of them, when dishing to his linemates by way of both his forehand and backhand with intensity. Or when he shows inspired play in traffic between the dots, moving and shooting with regularity. The issue is the consistency at which he displayed these efforts. Can look disinterested and not willing to get involved for long stretches. Teams look towards the prospects that come to play sixty minutes, even if they may have less skill than many who don't play up to there potential. But teams also hope to change hearts and minds as maturity takes place. For me, this young German lad is a toss-up.

Alex Nylander

Brother of William and son of Micheal is a speedy offensive wing with a high skill set, great vision and excellent offensive instincts. I went into this season thinking of him as I do many hockey siblings - same bloodline but far less talent. My opinion was based on his awkward skating stride and lack of speed. He had high-end offensive instincts, exceptionally soft hands and puck handling skills, but just didn’t display the wheels to complete the portrait. He must have committed to improving his feet and has clearly shown he can generate the attack and make teammates better. He may never reach his brother skill set, but is unselfish to a fault, and strong competitor. He has a really quick shot, but his soft hands make him a brilliant set up artist. He generates chances because he reads situations well, and quickly reacts with precise passes through traffic. As a scorer, he will raise you from your seat with his accurate blistering shot. When his team has possession in the offensive zone, he will find the crack of open space in coverage and surprise with an accurate shot of the pass. His new found quick feet and balance add to his agility and stop/start ability. He always was good East-West who was ultra shifty with the puck. He is now quicker, more dynamic and possible the most skilled player in the draft.

I literally don't give a (frank) what some guy who couldn't even spell reinhart's name correctly in his draft analysis has to say.

That goes double for the idiots at HF
