Lets put it this way. Ruff had 16 years to accomplish something.

He failed.

We don't need him.

Bring him in as an Ops guy, but not a HC

He's the wild card. Yzerman might be tempted but I think he'll go 11-15.

No more ex Sabres coming back. If anything, a front office job would be fine. I want some new blood behind the bench- Keefe.

In those 16 years ruff had to work his own Magic because ownership wouldn’t help him correct????? He finally has a team that’s not trying to tank but win and he can get players he wants not players like Raffi Torres etc

Can you imagine Makar/Byram as their #1 d pair for the next 10 years? Yikes. That was my theory behind the Byram pick.

I would. But would Colorado? I would think they would pass. Byram in our D group would be sweet though.

Caufield is Skinner 2.0. I think he’ll be a great hockey player but two way play wins in the playoffs. I think Boldy would be perfect on Jacks wing, size and two way ability. I think anyone could skate on Jacks wing and pop 20+ goals in a season but not many prospects have exhibited the play in all 3 zones that Boldy has. If the draft fell the way MHP mentioned then I’d hope we take Boldy or Krebs.

That does sound nice, but I can also see Mackinnon-Dach/Cozens-Compher as their top 3 Centre core for the next 10-15 years as well. Girard looks to be quite the player and they still have Timmins in the pipeline as well (Big LHD).

My UFA targets

Nyquist
Donskoi
Chiarot
Benn
Tanev
Connolly

Not saying we sign all of them, just guys I would target. Nyquist is a reach, he could re-sign in SJ.
