man if that's true.... holy poop what a mess

I think the new CBA screwed the Canucks over more than any other team

Flyers have some of the best scouts in the league. As much as I dont like this pick, you have to trust their judgement.
- justahockeyguy2

unproven in their ability to draft anything but forwards...

Solid picks by Buffalo
- ob18

With Myers, Ristolainen and Zadorov they could have a monster D core for years.

Big, strong and some offensive talent.

All I know is Ryan Pulock reminds me of PK Subban with less speed. How could you pass up on that skillset on the back end for a reach in a 6'6 scrapper?

Still no Shinkaruk, eh?

I'd never heard of Morin until an hour ago, but he sucks. Damn you, Flyers
- the deaninator

That's pretty much the typical Hockey fan/person in this city..

OMG! Come on Holmer..Trade Rinadlo for Stamkos... wtf..do it

still waiting for that craziness homer....

No. Devils had a need at G. They got an NHL caliber starting goalie who is going to be very good. #9 pick didn't have anyone there at that level.

Complete steal.
- stveshdy

the devils get brodeur #2 and the isledanders get who we should have drafted it's an embarasment to the organization

Buffalo fans wanted a winger

Sabres playing smart. They are going to have a beast of a defense!

TRADE ...

Ristolainen and Zadorov.

Sabres will have a mean back end.
- flyer_nutter

Yes, intimidating indeed.

wonder what the trade is?

PK Subban is huge with unbelievable skating ability. Pulock is 6' with average skating. Maybe below average for a player his size.

I know Homer is itching to do something ....

It'll be exciting to watch

Yeah just look at Michael Jordan who GMs the bobcats hes done great

Usually hall of fame players make hall of fame GMs

Wow, I didn't know Pronger was named GM, thanks.

Maybe because they see something in Morin that reminds them of Chara and Pronger..

It's too early to say for a project dman which any out side of Jones, Ritso and Nurse are.

Whats the point in picking Morin when Zadorav is the exact type of player who is nhl ready

PK Subban is 6'...

don't forget Derian Hatcher''s involvement
- JoeRussomanno

Exactly -- you know what? Here's where I am with this:

I get sick of seeing guys like Rick Nash and Evgeni Malkin overpower guys like Matt Carle when they go to the net. It makes me want to throw up.

I understand that you can't have six guys like Derian Hatcher on the back end. That doesn't work.

But if the Flyers' defense of tomorrow has Shayne Goestibehere and Samuel Morin as a pairing, I won't be crying. Because that will mean they developed as they could, and you'll need somebody to do that dirty work -- they can't all be 6-0, 190 pounds.

Me thinks Pronger had something to do with it, which I'm actually alright with.

Gillis made it worse, he had a solid offer from Toronto for Luongo and shot it down...he painted himself in a corner.

They're the exact same size. Both like to throw big hits as well.
