If Kassian was from Lockport, he would have made Milan Lucic look like Tim Connolly, in terms of toughness.

Will you follow another team during those two years?

Are you going to extend your 3 year streak of not watching a Sabres game...for how long?
2? 3? 4 more years?

he was '09, but the concept is still there...the purse-carrying wonder fluffs needed some backbone and he was joined by a hulking brayden mcnabb and gritty marcus foligno as sabres picks that year

Who do you think is more attractive: Hedman or Kucherov?

To author/original article:
The Duchene & Karlsson trades had multiple draft picks, multiple players. If you proposed Eichel for Tkachuk, Zary, 12th - I'd throw in at least one or two of Calgary's 2nd's. I bet they're asking for two 1st's & two impactful players for Eichel.

Good note. Supposedly the Sabres want 4 pieces of premium murrancy.

It gets pretty obnoxious to suggest that kind of stuff because then other fans come in screaming

Good. Whoever was a part of pushing that crap to the side should never work in the NHL again or anywhere in hockey for that matter. No place for that poop. Disgusting.

1. Duchene is not Eichel.
2. Duchene is not worth nearly as much as Eichel
3. This is a fascinating read for many reasons.

They should be beat down to within an inch of their lives.
And then thrown down a flight of stairs.
