Too early to say. If we were picking top 3 I'd agree but we will know more after combine.

Right now,
Looks like the top WRs are slotting in the late teens, early 20s

I would do something like

Sheary/Eichel/Pominville
Skinner/Mitts/Reinhart
Erod/Larsson/Thompson
Wilson/Sobotka/Okposo
Elie

It might hurt Eichel, but he will still create, plus still top top defensive match ups, and that should be a dangerous 2nd line at the very least.

And if that doesn't get Mitts going it's on a bus to Rochester he goes

- sbroads24


Leave Pommer where he belongs on the 3d line and let’s see if Tage is ready for prime time.

It really all depends on whether or not Allen works out

Most NFL teams go as far as their QB takes them

He definitely looked better overall after the injury
Long way to go though
So hopefully he takes another step forward this offseason

What’s the read on your man Funches?

I just don’t want to deal with Another X slow inconsistent Carolina panther

Maybe the Patriots part ways with Chris Hogan that would be my target in the off-season

With one Blues win they’ll pass 6 teams in the NHL standings. They have at minimum one game in hand on those 6 teams ahead of them.

I wouldn't expect Erod to continue to shoot 2% 5 on 5 and Thompson will eventually have a few go in as he's getting 2-3 shots a game.

I wouldn't put all of 23/53/9 on different lines. With how great Eichel has been they really only need another line to chip in here and there and to have Larsson continue to play the D role

- sbroads24


That’s a fair point
But if we are trying to build a team that can consistently win against the top competition,
then we really do need 3 lines that can score

So for right now...
I think the key is getting Mitts to 3C
Give him the best chance possible to produce

E Rod-Mitts-Thompson
Maybe that could work?
Especially if they’re getting good matchups

generated 2 rushing TD's threw for 3td's had 95 yards rushing and accounted for 85% of the offense. 4 for 4 in the red zone.... but yeah He has a long way to go.... he missed 9 passes today.... 9 and at least 3 of those were throw aways... It wouldn't kill you to just enjoy the game he had...
- gordong


In a game that doesn’t matter against a team that’s season was also done

How was he against the Pats last week?

I wasn’t bashing him

The fact is...
for us to be contenders...
he does have a long way to go

And yes,
I realize that’s actually an opinion
But it’s so obvious that it can realistically be called a fact
I wasn’t bashing the guy
And i wasn’t even talking about this specific game
Just him as a QB in general

@JoeBuscaglia
Upon further review, regardless of results with the 4pm games, the #Bills are locked into the 9th overall selection even in a tie scenario with Denver at 6-10 and in SOS. The #Bills have the worse strength of victory, which gives them the better pick and 9th overall.

- gordong


It’s hard to picture a WR going in that spot
No one wants to hear this...
but it’s likely that the best player on the board there is a pass rusher

Which, imo, we need
So unless we trade down,
that’s what I’d do (right now)

If Thompson would release his shot quicker I believe he could be more effective. Like the powerplay, the set up is a bit too slow.
