  1. From 97 Rock this AM

     

    .@ByMHarrington on @MorningBull97: Don't expect #Sabres  to get a 1st round pick for #EvanderKane. That's not gonna happen. A prospect, lower round pick, maybe a low roster player are all possibilities. High draft pick is very, very unlikely. #Buffalo

     

    Umm

     

    Wouldn't trust Harrington's take on anything to be honest. Kane is worth more than a Bot 6 forward and 4th rounder....

  2. They got worse after O'Reilly was traded. Sorry to rain on your trolling.

     

    Bigger mistake: Murray passing on Sergachev, or Bergevin trading him?

    I’d say trading him, Drouin actually has fewer points than Sergachev. GMTM had technically less information than what Bergevin had a year later. Plus Nylander is still a WIP

  3. Rudolph and Jackson might be around but only if Darnold and Rosen declare. 

     

    IMO Browns, Giants, Jets, Cards are definites ... Broncos, Chargers, Redskins are maybes.

     

    Still I would doubt it, 7 teams may need QBs but likely only 3 will take them that early. There's a certain point where GMs will take the top DT over the 5th QB

  4. Good game, disappointing result but they actually played pretty well after the 1st. 

     

    I'm guessing 71 & 10 were meant to be a speedy line meant to kill the remaining 20 secs.

     

    Eichel seemed slightly out of sorts, nothing concerning, likely just the outdoor game difference. Reinhart had his best game of the season. 

     

    Lehner played very well, his biggest problem is he isn't Miller or Hasek and his inability to stop things in SOs. And he's kinda insane

  5. Trade anyone for the right return, no? This draft is full of D prospects.

     

    I mean, it's not the move I would make, but if you can get a 1st for Risto, do you do it and maybe take 2 D prospects in the top 10?

    Still no, Ristolainen should be untouchable unless McDavid or Matthews is being given to us. He’s at minimum a top 4 dman who knows how to eat minutes and generate points. You don’t trade that for a lottery ticket which at best starts in two years.

  6. Thought about ERod, but really, it’s been two games, and even if he keeps it up, what’s to prevent him from regressing like Larsson and Girgensons and Reinhart, and (to a lesser degree McCabe).

     

    Does anyone other than Blue think Eichel is better than last year?

     

    Grigorenko and Kassian and Armia and Zadorov? Never came close to the hype.

     

    Foligno, Pysyk, Ennis, Stafford? They all flashed and then became just a guy.

     

    Say what you want about the flaws of Darcy’s core, but Vanek and Miller and Campbell and Roy and Pominville, they all lived up to their promise as prospects.

     

    It’s been a long time since anyone else has.

    Eichel has improved defensively to some degree, he’s just being more of an assist guy than the goal scorer we saw the past 2 years

  7. looks like sometimes the best trades are the one you don't make, as in Turris for Duchene. I still cannot figure out how Murray has kept his job inOttawa. he has made some real bad moves. Nashvlle must still be laughing...

     

    Um.... Murray passed away well before this trade occurred. So don't sully a dead man with the idiocy of his successor. 

  8. It's a good point. Tavares, Karlsson, and Doughty are all going to get drastically overpaid while heading into the downslopes of their careers.

     

    I'm not saying I don't take one, but there's a negative side that bears thinking about.

     

    If we can dump Okposo, that changes things. We'd be replacing an overpaid player with a much better overpaid player.

     

    I can't imagine us being able to dump Okposo when he's a big reason he'd want to come here. I wonder if 7x11 would bring him here?

  9. From The Athletic.

     

    After a recent meeting between Matt Moulson and Jason Botterill, the Sabres general manager delivered some surprising news. Though it was neither shocking that the team had decided to waive Moulson — not after being a regular healthy scratch — nor that he cleared waivers, he wasn’t expecting to be packing up his things for a cross-country commute.

     

    Had he been assigned to the Sabres AHL franchise, the Rochester Americans, Moulson could have kept his family — wife Alicia; 5-year-old daughter, Mila; and 4-year-old son, George — in their Buffalo-area home and driven back and forth as needed.

     

    It’s roughly 74 miles.

     

    But the Sabres suggested a new start for Moulson. The team wanted its young prospects to get ample ice time in Rochester. According to Moulson, the organization didn't want him to feel “uncomfortable” that he wouldn't be getting much. So they decided he’d be better off with the Ontario Reign, the affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings

     

     

    Moulson wasn’t in on the decision and he wasn’t getting playing time in Rochester either

     

    Also he is feels he has a lot of hockey left, doubt he retires after this year.

     

    His family is moving to California and he will be a ten minute walk from the Quick’s

     

    Definitely cold and calculating yet simultaneously respectful and trying to be accommodating.
