Sorry, I should have said “why Bryson DIDN’T get that next contract”. I just meant the qualifying offer from Buffalo.

I see around 1.1 million reasons why Bryson doesn’t get that next contract.

I thought they were reporting the other day that Guentzel back to Carolina for 8 years was done. Now Tampa trades for his rights? https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/tampa-bay-lightning-acquire-jake-guentzel-s-right-from-carolina-hurricanes-1.2142495

That hard to play against thing would date back a year or two. So I’d more say you might be dealing with 20-21 year olds against a 24-25 year old. I’m not really sure if there are more than a handful that young in Rochester. I don’t think there’s too much in that thought about the age gap.

He’s a bit old at this point, too.

There’s no guarantee that works. It also uses next year’s pick instead of this year’s.

I think an even larger portion of the fanbase will never have any clue that this signing ever happened.

Take a look at how many defensemen they had under contract prior to these moves. They didn’t have a top 4. They had a top 1.

@Pimlach, there want an ounce of sarcasm in that post. I’m just simply stating facts. That’s player for first round picks do not happen at this time of the year. The recent history backs that up. You may find a rare one here or there, but teams move these picks at the deadline. There’s no excuses here, it’s just how things work.

So he’s supposed to go back and time and make the deal instead? Those player for first round picks were not happening. Not here, not anywhere. Not today, not a week ago. Those are the kind of trades that happen at the trade deadline. When not a single trade of this type is made anywhere across the league, we really need to stop making this into a Buffalo thing. People need to stop buying into the click bait from the talking heads.

I was going to comment on that. The euro first round picks typically head over right away, at least the ones taken this early.

There are plenty of other things they can trade. Look at all those players moved around the league during this first round. It was never happening. I have no idea why this surprises people every single year.

They didn’t make a trade that was never going to happen. Doomed!

Lindy is an international treasure

And how many people have their announcement thread all lined up?

Commercial before Buffalo. The tradition lives!

Wasn’t there chatter in recent days that the Philly pick was in play?

All that delay for a one pick swap?

The same guy they’ll get at 14.

If you can get the kid who is supposed to be the best goal scorer in the draft at that pick, I’d take it. That makes me think of the Quinn pick a few years back. He had that goal scorer hype among that draft.

She stopped for a bit after the second pick. I thought someone got in her ear and said to stop. But whatever, I miss when they would just take the TSN feed. This broadcast is high school level.

I spoke too soon.

I look forward to Utah picking a name. That jersey is incredibly boring.

She has a thing for drama, apparently

Awkward interviewer has stopped fondling the teenagers. So that’s a plus.
