2 more points (both assists) for Casey (8 in 4 games) as USA wins a tight one vs. Sweden, 3-2.

The sabres were trying to move up the pick #5 (van). It would be interesting to know if they were afraid Casey would be picked ahead of them. NYR, in desperate need for young centers, passed on him at #7, reaching for a player ranked around #15. Have a feeling they may regret this.....

The Mighty Casey with 2 goals, 2 assists as USA demolishes CAD 8-2. Pu with a goal for CAD

Was never going to be a 3 year deal cuz then he would have been a UFA after the deal expired. This way, you see how he progresses, if at all, and maybe sign him long-term.

Casey's team won 4-3. No points, one shot on goal, for him.

He's not cracking any NHL lineup next year, needs more development. 30 teams will be in play, all except Colorado, so odds are slim. He's a mid-range prospect really. Good skill but very small.

Plus if it goes to arbitration, the sabres can choose a 1 year "show me contract" with Lehner still a RFA next year. Major advantage there as why give him a 3 year contract, not knowing what you have, and have him a UFA in 3 years. Give yourself more time to decide

I think the c will go to the guy they're about to give 8 years, 76-80m to

Yep tbots has signed a lot of under the radar UFAs. I'm especiLly excited about Rochester. I think they will be good, which will be good for our you kids' development. This was GMTMs biggest failure. We still have ample camp room, I think he still has one big move left, hopefully a trade for a LW. Would love a Jagr signing, as long as one of our RWers could play the offwing, or maybe a n of our centers moving to LW??

Just think, since last year we have potentially 4 new starting dmen: a former first rounder in Booya, a solid Russian import, a legit top 4 dman ins scandella and Guhle, though I'm convinced they want him to be top 2 dman in Rochester. Tbots is also being aggressive in restocking Rochester, to create a winning atmosphere there. Want I'm intrigued about is he has a ton of cap space to work with. What's he going to do with it, if anything?

Ask me in 4 years, stupid to guess now

True but Brooks also said that apparently before they traded stephan and bought out girardi.

He has the right to go UFA. I will not wish him luck, f*ck u Calvin, we drafted a better goalie than you today. That's all I got.

Nyr bought of girardi and traded stephan

He's my favorite pick of the draft.

We are 21m under the cap, or something like that, with bad contracts. Coming off the books over the next 2 years. We can afford him, so can NYR. Where do you think he signs?

The one winger we drafted today (maybe 2 if you count Davidson) will play in 3 years, maybe. So saying they're a replacement for kane is comical

Plus the 3 forwards we got are Looking about speed. Wonder where that leaves reinhart who doesn't have great speed?

Will play lw

Vesey was a third Rd pick who did nothing in college until his number junior year. Casey will sign in buf after his sophomore year

Can't learn how to get stronger, can't learn talent...

Dipietro and luukkonen are the two goalies that we could take at 37. Neither will be there at 54 prob. I really want hague at 37. It doubt he last to 37. If not Hague, then Timmins or a goalie

And who plays LW if we trade Kane??

Scandella had 16 points last year (a career high), isn't young (27) and had hip surgery recently. Yawn - I'll pass, next dman....
