  1. So players may be asking to be traded unhappy group LOL. Until they fire this whole management group nothing in the future points to success for the team . Shure the Cunucks are drafting well . 60 % hit rate in the first round 40 % in the second close to that but if they cant put a team on the ice that is happy with the organization they will never win . JB doesn't show leadership I dont think the players believe in what he is doing. 7 years try another 5 of losing

    We deff need some more size and grit to our team. Wouldn’t mind seeing a 4th line with Gadj and Mac anchoring the wings if Gadj shows he can keep up with the pace. 
     

    Miller-Pettersson-Boeser

    Hoglander-Horvat-Podkolzin

    Pearson-Sutter-Motte

    Gadjovic-Highmore-MacEwan


    Hughes-Hamonic

    Rathbone-Schmidt

    Juolevi-Myers

     

    We should move on from Beagle, Roussell and maybe even Edler/Myers/Sutter.

    Sutter is too slow

    Your vastly superior roster last year is drafting after us. Tanev, Marky and Levio = image.gif.2490e976a1ab124f671c44f5ac4e5328.gif

     

    Oh.... and having overpaid for Marky and Tanev.... but those are Benning’s types of signings right??? Overpaying and short term fixes?? Treliving says hold my beer.

     

    btw, Montreal only has 3 more wins than us.... sooooo like... they are just better at losing.

    First of all you dont know what your talking about

     

    First by keeping Tanev and Toffoli you would have made the playoffs and no ,Tanev contract he is not overpaid the reason why Calgary didn't make the playoffs is because they could not score. 

    Markstrom could have been signed and aggressive GM would have and traded Demco for a good player ether top 6 or top 3 D . You would not have had Holtby  Schmidt or Virtanen and By the way they played I say not missing much . Hughes would have had a better year we would have been in the playoffs and could have moved assets as necessary next year. Markstrom' s contract maybe one year too long but there are lots of goalies playing into their mid 30s

    The goal is to what are we teaching our young stars by getting hammered every game. 

    JB should have been fired but the owner had his finger prints all over this the wanted to bring in OEL with a cap hit of  8.25 Mil thats like Tanev and Toffoli put together . Dim Jim a shinny new toy. Keeping what they had and adding Harmonic would have been the right thing to do.

    Boy, it seems like wholesale changes in Buffalo are in the cards.  Reinhardt also said he wants nothing to do with a rebuild.

     

    That is Eichel, Ristolainen, and Reinhardt who basically said in their exit interviews that they don’t want to be there next year.

     

    Honestly, any of them are going to be REALLY motivated next year if they are on new teams.

     

    I would keep our 1st this year, but trade a couple of firsts and some good prospects for Eichel... but I don’t think we could win a bidding war.  Other teams need centres more than we do.

     

    but... how far do you go?


    To me, make any package that doesn’t include: Petterson, Hughes, Demko, Horvat, Hoglander, Podkolzin, Rathbone, this year’s 1st.

     

    That is too long of a list of untouchables to make Buffalo interested, but no point if we are moving sideways or if we give up our cheap ELC contracts which are the only way we can afford Eichel going forward.

     

    Not everyone is as high on Ristolainen, but to me he would be a great add.  Put him on a decent team and don’t ride him 26 minutes a game and he is probably our 2nd or 3rd best D.

    Who is better?

    That’s quite a negative take on the drafting...

    JB has never had the luxury of drafting in top 4, and only once in top 5...

     

    How about this for a stat, so far all our 1st round picks outside top 6 has been hits?


    So maybe a few wins now will result in another home run...

    Name them
