They added a top 10-15 Center, and have Kapanen, Andreas Johnsson, Travis Dermott and potentially Timothy Lilijgren coming through.

They’re better

Marleau-JT-Marner
Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Johnsson-Kadri-Kapanen
Leivo-Lindholm-Brown

Reilly-Hainsey
Gardiner-Zaitsev
Dermott-Liljegren/Holl

Anderson
Sparks

Leafs are set up like the Penguins team with Reilly being a poor mans Letang. But Murray stepped up when needed too. Can Anderson ? That’s the question.

Depends how those wingers produce
And if the young defensemen they have really help

None of that makes Anderson more than average though

Still CLEARLY behind:
Tampa, Pittsburgh & Washington

And they probably lose to Boston again in the 1st round, bc of the goaltending

Imo, of course

parents and sister have lived in Sarasota / North Port for years since leaving Buffalo. I went to PHX (before MN). I don't dig the muggy and humidity down here, at this point.

Thank you for the kind sentiment . . . looking forward to having my pool and spa complete by Sep/Oct for the NF/H-L seaons. Already squared away w/ my 82" tv!

Florida should be better, but they just can’t seem to take that next step
They’re “up & coming” forever, just like Carolina

Columbus is just stuck at the 3rd best team in their division till the Caps & Pens start to decline
Philly is close to CBj, especially if they can find a goalie

Watching:



You put it in my head recently. Wanted to watch Crimson Tide, but it's on an old Mac Book and I can't find the damn cable to watch it on TV.

90% of 80% of posts are 70% bs which makes them kinda like an early 5th which makes it a late 4th but it’s more like a mid 3rd.

So I’m more inclined to say that 99% of the false padawans posts are well.......you get the drift like 75% of the time.

I know. I can’t believe that ex navy seal diver died trying to rescue those kids. And now they are saying the kids might have to dive to get out. Crazy stuff

I count 48.

41 signed right now. Dahlin, Smith, Reinhart, Bailey, Baptiste, O'Regan, Malone. There also needs to be a quantity for quality trade, as we have too many NHL ready dmen.

Out of those guys listed? Outside of Reinhart and Dahlin, I expect them all to fight for a spot. Malone probably the farthest out. It'll be even harder for the kids to get into the lineup now that we've filled in the bottom 6 with more talent. But I suspect there's a wing spot for the taking. And I think Botts feels the same.

Like all of Buffalo went Gerbe

Known amongst fans as “the kid who couldn’t do a pull-up” leading up to the draft, the Sabres’ Twitterverse exploded with outrage when the pick was announced. Fortunately, the Buffalo scouting staff saw something that most arm-chair general managers didn’t, and fan opinions on a specific player have never shifted so quickly

all the reason not to get so worked up about something you probably don't know as much as you think you know about it..

i never really understood why people get so damned worked up over this crap.

on a separate note.. if Tampa goes out and gets Karlsson i think that is just all the more reason to keep the 3 1st and move forward with the slow rebuild. we aren't going to be surpassing them with plug and chug moves
