I still have that poster

I agree he fell back and his skate was caught in the ice. Something tore or broken

Sorry fellas about repeating it so often. It's just going to be interesting to see what Snow does with the pick. It would be nice if they would have to tell buffalo when they do the lottery not on draft day!

Me too I watched him in the prospects game and he makes the guys around him better. I think the Islanders are going to pick this year if they fall in the top 5 when there still is a solid offensive player there. I think they can pick up a goalie in free agency and a forward to play with Tavares. I think we will be looking at a pick next year around 8-14 if Snow plays his cards right. Me personally I would love for the Islanders to let us use their pick this year. If they land pick 6 or later I think they might let us pick.

Why do people keep saying Rudy! I don't see him as anything special.

Looks like his helmet is too small

I agree with that but you have to remember these guys ain't going to be rushed anymore. I don't think Nolan wants a team with 5 rookies on them.

You can give him 7 games to see what he brings but still not long enough for an adjustment period. I don't know if I'm sold on Ruhwedel on defense fulltime like others have said!

I'm kinda hope the Blues make the conference finals so we can take that first pick. I don't trust the Blues to sign him even if he does sign there. They could have an agreement reach but not announce it until after the draft giving us a third rounder.

It's only season 1 of the tank. One more year to go folks. The tank will be complete if we can land McDavid and if not Eichel won't be a bad consolation prize.

I agree I wouldn't go that far just yet saying we are better off than these other teams. I'm not sold on some of the players we picked the previous drafts. Grigo and Armia seem to have potential but I don't see Grigo in the top 6 because of his skating. And Armia it's too early to tell.

I agree. Those meaningless runs late in the season sealed our crappy pick.

I would like to listen to the scout that mentioned Zadorov during that episode of Blue and Gold. He seemed like he seen him enough to know this guy was going to be good. I think if teams knew he was that good he would have been drafted sooner. I'm thinking Zadorov has more upside than Risto. I want scouts that can see beyond what a player is at that time. Devine seemed set on Risto.

Like you said. I wouldn't read too much into what Murray says about players and the draft. No one is going to tip their hands on players before the draft. I wouldn't even look in to what he said about the goaltending like someone else mentioned.

First off I'm more than thrilled to have Nolan as coach full time. You can tell he's a players coach and he will get the most out of these players just like he did the first time he coached Buffalo. I think Girgenson's is a future captain but not yet and not next year. Give him another season or two. I hate to say this but Stafford has been a ton better since Nolan was hired as coach. Captain material I don't know but him paired with Ennis have been the two best Buffalo forwards.

I'm with you from what I seen of him he's a solid player who makes other's better!

That is exactly why Snow isn't going to give us their top 5 pick. No GM is gonna let us pick when he has a full year to better his club that way he can at least work on making sure they get better. I just think he will do whatever he can to make sure the pick he gives us isn't a top 5 in either draft.

I don't want to sound like a jerk with this but I would be shocked and I mean shocked if the Islanders let us use a top 5 pick. They are gonna use that pick and will most likely be alittle bit better than they are right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see them make a move for some players in the offseason and most likely we will be using their pick next year which I think will fall from 8-14.

Good stuff

I actually agree with this! This is where I'm at on this as well

I would love to have the Islanders let us use their pick this year I just don't see it happening though. I would love 2 picks in the top 5. I just think they will make a move or two to better the team plus they have a lot of young guys coming. I just think they land in the 8-14 range next year.

Edmonton is bad but I highly doubt we win 4-5 games. Keep the tank rolling!

Then why did they trade for Vanek. Offense to play with Tavares. They can always get help defensively and goaltending during UFA. Just my opinion. But I hope they don't win the lottery. Looks like they are going to finish anywhere from 3-5. A top 5 pick even in a bad draft year is very hard to come by unless you are the Edmonton Oilers.

With the Lose of Vanek and Moulson I would be thinking offense!
