Package the pick with Byram and get some NHL assets like a goalie and top 4 D.

G-d I hate being right. NHL rigged as usual.

Not predicting anything, but from the outside looking in at team needs and mock rankings, one would think Mtrka would be very much in consideration. McQueen is another obvious need-filler. If they are confident about his health, 9 seems right about where risk meets reward.

Friday June 27. 😤

No wonder Lance was more outspoken about the buffoonery related to the Sabres. He graduated to the Bills.

I get that, but your comment read like they won the lottery because they sacked their GM.

The theory is the league did it as a make good for hosing them out of the ASG (which the team used access to as a renewal incentive BTW). (Yes I know it's total nonsense).

The owner (whose mall at the UBS site is failing badly btw) started shitting bricks when he saw the renewal numbers, which is the reason he sacked Lou. This is pretty much common knowledge.

To me this shows it isn't rigged, why in the world would the NHL want the Islanders to win for any reasoning?

Sure. Okay.

So the guys who chose Kisakov over Knies are still all comfortably in their jobs.😳🤬

I don't know what your theory has to do with age. I'm sixty, and agree with every bit of this.

Correct. That's why they showed it live on TV, just like the moon landing. Folks won't suspect.

That's not what you do after you've nearly dug yourself out of a hole.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/nhl-top-16-mock-draft-who-will-islanders-take-after-surprise-lottery-win/ O’Brien’s playmaking and hockey sense is something the Sabres desperately need in a 6’2, RHC package. I’d love Martin or Bear too for their style of play which the Sabres also desperately need.

No.

Rigged !!

Late to the discussion. Makes more sense to me to trade the pick. At this time we need more proven NHL players (upgrades) than we do prospects.

Islanders STH's en mass called their reps at the end of the season and told them either Lou goes or they go, which is the main reason Lou got fired. They earned this.

That Wheeler article you just posted still has him at 10th. Are you thinking Philly, Boston, or Seattle will want him at 6 thru 8? I definitely don't see him going ahead of Misa, Schaefer, Mortone, Hagens, or Desnoyers.

uh oh 4-3

He's closer to 170 now but that doesn't really matter to your og point. It's possible they draft him at 9 but I personally feel that they'll lean in other directions.
