Real huge win.

You don't have to love them. They're Canadians.

Just a joke for the actual Canadians. If you are upset with this, your a nanny boy. Take it up with Homie.

Sabres have picks 15, 16 and 29 at the moment. Obviously subject to change, but at these spots, here's three guys that could be available. It's being said that guys in the 12-28 or so range are all extremely similar in skill.

Ryan Suzuki (C)
A dynamic offensive weapon with eyes in the back of his head and a top performer for both Barrie and Team Canada, Suzuki is the OHL’s top prospect for the 2019 NHL Draft. Blessed with blinding speed and acute hockey sense, the younger brother of 2017 first rounder Nick Suzuki is a bit more flashier and excitable with the puck, especially in open ice. He’s more of a playmaker than a shooter, but Ryan owns an excellent wrist shot and can score off his backhand. Still, he seems more comfortable and confident dictating play with the puck on his stick and treating every teammate as a scoring-chance possibility. Suzuki a season ago was one of the OHL’s top rookies, but he enters his draft year as one of the circuit’s best overall players and a candidate to challenge for the scoring crown.

Suzuki has excellent vision and will connect with a linemate from just about anywhere, regardless of how dense the network of skates, bodies and sticks are clogging a passing lane. He has a soft touch and feathers passes with regularity, but he also can whip the puck around with both accuracy and authority. Although Suzuki is an excellent stickhandler with elusiveness and agility to avoid contact, the puck doesn’t spend a lot of time on his stick at even strength. He’s usually on the periphery during puck battles and the corners, and you will rarely see him engage in physical play. Nonetheless, Suzuki is an effective penalty killer and aggressive forechecker whose positioning, quick stick and awareness forces turnovers in the opposing end. He is capable of turning seemingly harmless plays into quality scoring chances.

Matthew Boldy (LW)
It’s not often you see a teenage winger literally play mistake-free hockey game after game, but Boldy finds a way to solving his own team’s problems while simultaneously presenting the opposition with a bunch of their own. He’s got pro-ready size, off-the-charts hockey sense and can score from just about anywhere. Boldy has buttery-soft hands and acts as a set-up man for all four of his mates when he himself is not flanking a playmaker, so this kind of versatility is exactly what you want in a future pro. He warrants a lot of attention from all five on-ice opponents for several reasons, namely for the violent nature of his directional changes while maintaining full control of the puck. It’s rare to see such a powerful skater look as graceful as Boldy does, and there are times where you have to remind yourself that the player dominating the puck is still a teenager and not a mid-20’s NHL forward.

He displayed a clear understanding of who his high-profile teammates were, and he likes to share the puck with them. There is a selfless way about Boldy’s game, but he won’t hesitate to rock defenders to sleep with nifty moves and a quick step or fake that gets him in prime shooting areas. Once he’s there, Boldy can quickly whip a heavy wrist shot labeled for the corner, even if it’s off his back foot or overextended. He’s also a deadly power-play threat from either manning the half wall or establishing position in the slot to screen or tip passes home. He can be used on the penalty kill as well, but he doesn’t need to be a man down to lend support below the circles to his defensemen.

Alex Vlasic (D)
Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - Dec. 12th: "Found a new gear at the U18 Five Nations event and contributed mightily at both ends"

Sam Cosentino - SportsNet - Nov. 7th: "Because of size and skating ability, he will produce at this level. Projects more as a two-way player at the next level."

Steve Kournianos - The Draft Analyst - Nov. 5th: "Reliable, big-bodied puck mover with a cannon for a shot who can be used in either a shutdown role or orchestrate the attack from deep inside his own end."

Sam Cosentino - SportsNet - Oct. 2nd: "Rangy D-man whose straight skating plays well on both sides. He’s still growing into his body and agility will come with maturity. There’s some untapped offensive upside there, but he has no problem playing with a defence-first mentality, which has served his cousin Marc-Edouard well in San Jose."

Craig Button TSN - Aug. 14th: "Big, rangy, good-skating defenceman who doesn't give opponents a lot of room and is very good at closing plays and getting the play moving in transition."

Actually makes sense, they want more people betting. It's psychology, fans will be like, "we got worse?! (frank) you! I'm going to bet even more now!", look at all the rationalizing we've seen here today. Flacco is better than Keenum, they got better, for sure, but Flacco does not put them ahead of the Chargers or the Chiefs. The South is getting the second WC whether it's the Colts or Texans. I think a 10-6 team or two miss next year in the AFC and the Broncos could be one of those teams.

What actually makes more sense:

Vegas now thinks Denver has less of a chance of winning the super bowl with joe flacco.

Cleveland gave us a 3rd for tyrod Taylor

Now flacco's value is a 4th?


Good luck
