Confirming rumors first reported by @mdamico and @MTLhockeynow that the #Sens and #GoHabsGo are in heavy talks regarding the 7th overall picks. Ottawa going hard after Anderson and Dvorak we are told. #Habs #nhldraft2022

Lol no way. Terrible terrible idea.

Not according to lacrapruns. This is the one trade he wants KA to make.

9, 16, Krebs and Cozens to Chicago for Patrick Kane. Trade Mitts for a 3rd. BPA at 23.

Murray and 7 for a 3rd…

7 and 9 for 2

Cooley
Yurov
Miro

- Stripes77

You guys and that report are completely changing my expectations of the draft. I now want Ottawas pick with keeping ours.

Anything else is a failure.

I can't see them doing it with an east coast team though. Maybe Zona...

I don't get this at all from either teams perspective. Ottawa has nice young assets - they should stay the course. It has been assumed that Montreal was going to try to build and not re-build.

I don’t think it happens but it would be something.

Hell even if you have to move 41 to do it I would.

Pick 7, 9, 16, 28

You don’t have to move up

Nazar Savioe Yurov and Miro/Snuggerudes kid would be a great day 1 with a goalie who is meh but isn’t 43 years old that gets them to the cap floor and only has 2 more years left so he won’t hold back Levi or Portillo.

I’d do it.

Paul Hamilton wants Cutter Gauthier. Unless Pegullaville has a high opinion of Gauthier, KA should avoid him at all costs.

Ottawa needs to start winning. They need a new building and I’m pretty sure they’ll be for sale soon.

I agree they should stay the course but it doesn’t sound like they are though.

Dunno what’s funny about it.

It’s all Kevyn Adams has been talking about.

I don’t think it should matter but apparently to the Sabres it does.

It's sadly humorous because the Sabres care about that.

It takes on average about 10 years for goalies to become solid starters from all i can tell.

yet Levi will be ready in 3.

Stats and historical data are not in their favor.

I agree with you but for some reason the Sabres and their analytic department feel otherwise. Right wrong or indifferent they care about it. So instead of arguing how wrong they are why not use their thoughts and plans to get more assets.

Sabres need a goalie for the next 2-3 years. They’re not going big game FA hunting. If you can get a major asset like say 7th overall for taking on two years of an okay ish goalie why not do it? Two years at 6.25 million for a team that is scratching to get to the cap floor doesn’t sound like a bad idea to me.

There's a statement that I don't think has ever been said in the history of the world. If is a fine song... it just feels like an odd choice as it is from the keyboard era. Every 6 months when I pick up the guitar I get a little further through Limelight.

Maybe not the hardest song but the dexterity required for it is unreal

Of course, but as far as the bold, I don't think there is any way in hell Ottawa would even consider that.

I've been playing bass for 35 years, have a serious original band, have records out, toured Europe in 2017 (not that any of that is important 😂, I just like saying it 🤣) but I also play guitar and I've always preferred the way a Strat feels over, say, a Les Paul.

Best guitar I've ever played was a PRS, though. Nothing touches the feel of them, imo.

- Powerslave

I had some demos from 2012 that I ended up getting some internet buzz from. I talked to quite a few people from the industry and was even friends with a female musician who is “google” famous for a long time. I’m more of a recording/studio guy than playing out live type…

The industry is a toxic cess pool to say the least.

I have heard that PRS guitars are the best from a lot of people actually.

I believe goalie coach Bales was the goalie coach for Murray when they were in Pittsburgh. So a possible connection there that may come into play if any of this Murray talk has legs to it.
