  1. It'd be great! No one of significance has ever worn that number so it's certainly Jack Eichel's ball to run with. What are everyone's thoughts on possibly # 999? No player has yet to venture out into the 100's but I feel like Jack has the machismo and moxie to take that step!
  2. The OP was about the Sabres entire draft for McDavid but I think the conversation has pivoted to #2 overall and 2 firsts for #1 overall. That's a trade that I believe could happen if Tim Murray believes there is a very wide gap between Connor and Jack and the GM of the team with #1 doesn't. Maybe it depends on where the two other firsts land but 3 first round picks, one of which is considered a "generational" player in Jack Eichel, would make the decision a difficult one even if it's for McDavid.
  3. The salary cap angle is certainly a factor but not so much if the deal is picks for picks like I'm proposing. And sure, the 2003 draft didn't have McDavid but it didn't have an Eichel either. If the perceived difference between these two "generational" players isn't that large there has to be GM's out there that see Eichel and 2 firsts in this draft as equal or maybe more valuable than McDavid.
  4. I think what shrader said was correct... the late round picks mean nothing. Maybe 3 firsts and the 2 seconds?
  5. A bit of history- Penguins Traded 2003 first round pick (#3-Nathan Horton), 2003 second round pick (#55-Stefan Meyer) to Panthers for 2003 first round pick (#1-Marc-Andre Fleury), 2003 third round pick (#73-Dan Carcillo) on 2003-06-21 Granted there was no Connor McDavid in the 2003 draft moving up two slots only cost the Pens #3 and #55. For a team to move down just one spot and get a player that has been said to be almost as good as McDavid I feel like this board is really overvaluing the number one spot. Maybe Zemgus plus the three firsts as long as the Sabres land in the #2 spot.
  6. Let me re-frame the question (although I think shrader already answered it) to how I was thinking about it. Is there a team that would trade the #1 spot for #2 and the other two firsts the Sabres own? I think yes, as long as that team isn't Canadian or one with a rather significant following. I'm thinking Florida, Arizona, Carolina and (maybe? Dallas).
  7. Consider this: Florida is a year ahead of the Sabres in their rebuild and is currently 8 points out of the wildcard. They are not just Connor McDavid away from a championship but they could be a Jack Eichel and 2 firsts away from one. And they really don't have the fanbase to upset in the process. Each situation is unique.
  8. I watched a couple minutes of the Dallas game last night... Admittedly I only saw one Roy shift but he didn't hustle back to the bench and lost the puck twice in the neutral zone. It made me smile.
  9. I'd like to gently point out that Kulikov has been quietly having a couple good years down in Florida. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2013/01/19/newly-re-signed-dmitry-kulikov-scratched-for-opener/
  10. Now I know there are a few unreasonable posters on here, but I do not think I am one of them. In a different thread I think I stated Myers and a first may be a starting point.
  11. The kind of cash-strapped GM that makes Darcy salivate. We have tradeable assets... Trade them.
  12. Do I hate the pick? No. I haven't seen much of him, but I don't see him as much of a game breaker. Kulikov could also have been the pick here, but I think this is more of a statement to the fans rather than taking the best player available. He could be Ryan Getzlaf or Wayne Primeau, I guess we'll find out.
  13. The person(s) that were involved with the building of the skyway and the 190. What a lack of foresight.
  14. :lol: Now that you mention it, man you are so right. Song of the day..
