they wont be with the marlies.. why burn a year of the entry contract?

So you want Hanifin playing College again? Why?

Oilers got their guy, we got ours, SJ got theirs, and now Buffalo got the sloppy seconds.

Does that leave Boucher for NJ?

Still hope we bring him in as an assistant coach though.

if he isnt ready to go to the NHL.. let him play in a development league

if not college.. whoever owns his jr rights

obviously, lol. I know that. Just comparing the scenarios

Minnesota got the two best players available at forward/defense.

2016 the two best players available at forward/defense are Stamkos-Seabrook.

Both TO boys I think too. And the Leafs should have a boat load of cash to throw at them... Bringing in those types with the young guys would speed the rebuild up considerably and in the right way...

In this years draft, we were talking about the Vorecheck trade, he was drafted 7th and highly touted, but at the time of the trade it was no guarantee h would do a thing, but in the end he was great...

Most of these trades aren't guarantees.

But a Virtanen, Ehlers, or Ritchie would still be a good pick-up, as would Ristolanen, Horvat, Monahan, Dumba, Pouliot, Trouba... hell, some of those teams would probably refuse to move those guys at all.

Didn't Babs brig his guys over from Det?

Bylsma > Babcock

-everyone in Buffalo.
- Arctic_AARDVARK

that's because they are still butthurt from Babcock choosing Toronna over Buffalo.

shouldn't be surprised
one guy called into the Fan and said the reason so many pitchers these days are getting Tommy John surgery is because less mother's are breast feeding their kids
he was dead serious

Nah, Seabrook's a BC boy, but we'll make him a TO boy dammit!!

Yeah , agreed. Especially with guys like Nylander, Goat cheese, Brown, and Lipstick most likely be coming up. It'll be great to watch.

fair enough..but I do think playing for a coach like Babcock would be intriguing for Seabrook (especially with the Hawks salary issues), and definitely for Stamkos.
- MCharisma91

He wouldn't but a repeatable club with money would, and Babs helps bring respectability...

Hiller?

hope we get Boucher or the Walrus.

I say keep in the AHL for the full season no matter what.

If he can put on some size (the AHL will make him do that because he's playing with men) then he can really turn into a big physical d-man with big offensive upside. (we all know the two d man now who have that, but I won't jinx it)

other than mcdavid, eichel, and maaaaaybe hanifin none of these kids are going to see the NHL for 3-4 years at the earliest
