All the way up to a middle six player and a few seconds. Book it

ROR will get a mid round 1st and a half decent prospect and not much more. Buffalo has gone full Toronto with this guy.

ROR was #1 last year, #3 the year before, and I think #4 the year prior. Law of averages I suppose.

This is also while taking an NHL record amount of faceoffs so it's not just hitting on a smaller sample size.

Exactly...that same sample size Bergeron is better and Giroux is in the conversation.

Maybe. Who knows.

I've heard the hot rumor is that you guys want Bread Man. Refused a 8x8. I'd imagine it's a coaching dislike or wants to play for a contender.

Either way, I'd be curious what you'd have to give up for him. Probably a stud defensive prospect like Sanheim and one of the 1sts? Maybe a winger prospect too

Only if they take half salary back.

No salary retention = no 1sts

Full Toronto is right

Eklund wants Ottawa to extend Karlsson before the draft.

I think there's something in the CBA preventing them doing that, but I CBA to check.

I would take ROR but Buffalo would have to settle for something like 19th overall and Rubstov. And eat money on ROR. I don't see it happening.

He does it every year, he must miss the days when there was no salary cap and teams would buy old players for lots of money. Obviously we know how well that works out.

I think Joe Mullen didn't start skating until he was 9 or 10 and just played roller hockey.

Yeah that is correct. A guy i know from hockey knows Mullen from their NYC days
