I'm still on the Petr Mrazek bandwagon. They're saying Philly may not qualify him by today's 5pm deadline, so he'll become a UFA. Hoping that happens and he regains his old form here. I'd take a flyer on him (no pun intended).

I was interested in him last offseason,
hoping he could regain form
He had a pretty sh!tty season though
Definitely not my 1st choice

So with John Carlson signing back with the capitals does Ristolainen value go even higher

If he’s just going for the draft next year that I’m OK with it

A top 4 pick is ok with me

Bring me the Kakko

Next year's draft is suppose to be Heavy with Forward talent which could be a reason Botts focused more on Defense for this draft.

Non-Canadian forwards, I hope

Well, since the Sabes are only allowed to draft from the CHL leagues, for 2019 draft class, it only cuts out 18 of the projected top 31.

Given this, JBotts needs to reduce his European and US scouting staff to focus on 13 Canadians

When is Buffalo's entry draft where they get to pluck players from each NHL team in more favorable conditions than any other previous entry draft?

I can't wait!

Leafs and Tavares mentioned.

LEaf fans now think they can get JT for Under 10MM per season cause "Endorsements"

Well, Housley should take a page from Gallants book...
Tell the players "You are all on a 31st place team, Botts tried to trade EVERYBODY, and no one, not one single team wants you" you are stuck here, you have no options left boys."

Now, Let's buckle up our pants and go show them you have a purpose...a special purpose!!!

In a strange coincidence, I just downloaded that this weekend for the Switch. Been too busy on Zelda Breath of the Wild. Oh and finishing my MBA, yeah, that's taking precedent.

Should have picked a good ol' Canadian boy instead. Botts is a racist.
