It just a gut feeling: 2 a goalie and maybe RoR or similar.

Thanks, I also think that also if we add Grigorenko Pittsburgh may say no. We overvalue our prospects on this board in my opinion. When Malkin is on fire in the playoffs he single handedly can win it four you, like he did for Pittsburgh.

Malkin will cost something like Reinhardt, Risto, Grigorenko and #21. Would I do it? For a legit superstar? Hmmm....

I picked bottom line defender and nearly clicked trade bait.

I think this series is the real Stanley cup final. Either of them will crush the Rangers or the Lightnings.

Great game by the Rangers. I root for them.

That is crazy money, but maybe the only chance to get him here. I also like that we commit to stability on coaching bench with this move

I would be happy when the Sabres would be as dominant as the Rangers during the playoffs during one of the next few playoff seasons. Maybe it is not exciting but very efficient. Tampa nearly took it in the third, but Moore striked back

I voted one, because Chad Johnson is an epmty piece of paper to me. I always expect a backup to compete for number one job, so answer number two makes no sense to me, except for the money. I think he will get backup contract money when he gets signed.

Hmm I thought I signed up, but it did not work somehow. But I did my bracket in time and joined just now. 43 points in the middle of the pack. My champion was ejected today, so this is bad ( St. Louis)

The Montreal Ottawa series is fantastic, unfortunately it will be too short.

The only thing I do not like is the fact that Eichel in German has the meaning of glans. (Yes it also means acorn) So this will be a jersey I cannot easily wear in Germany.

Sabres Power!

I joined too. Made some crazy predictions, simply choosing by gut feeling.

He will draft the biggest available Swede or Finn in third or fourth round of the incoming draft ;)

From women atheltics back to hockey. I liked what I saw from Makarov, he is very quick on his feet, has a good glove and made some reaally spectacular saves. 3:0 through 5 hole was maybe a softy, but I liked what I saw. But maybe iit is just based on the fact that all goalies this year are looking well with our current system.

I am really looking forward what Larsson may become. Hacket was already a bust in the JP29 trade. Left are Zadorov, Larsson and second rounder I do not know we converted into. Trade winner is still pending, but I believe it will be a win win hockey trade for both teams because JP fits very well to the Wild right now and we have the better players around when it counts for us.

This is how I feel today. If they win 29th championship then they earned it with their effort. Yes for us fans it is sad to not get Eichel guaranteed, but this is what hockey stands for. Honest effort and trying to win every game. I hope the new lottery rules will make it easier to be happy about wins although the team sucks

Will the GMs meddle? I think they will. Arizona gm has to, GMTM may be forced in game two, if we win game one.

I believe the current Buffalo playing style let the goalies shine: Many shots, so they are always in game, ready and focused. I do not believe that Irbe is the master mind behind that. He has some influence, but I think he is not the main root cause for the uprise of 4 different keepers this year. What got me angry today was the equalizer from Pittsburgh against Arizona. Mike Smith shots the puck behind the net on a Pittsburgh player directly in front of the net so that the puck deflected in. I shout : Foul play!!

When I read this and I realize that I also hopped my team to lose games I just can say that the current system is a shame. It must change. Ther should be a full lottery of all non playoff draft picks with equal chances of winning each spot. Put 14 balls in a bowl and draw one after the other. Losing on purpose is ridiculous, force fans to cheer that their team must lose is even more ridiculous. I can't stand it anymore

I do not like Lindback. i have the feeling that he isngiving up too many rebounds. He is far better than shaky hands Mr Hackett, but I belive we can do better.

Neuvirth to Islanders for third plus backup goalie

Dear lord I need to confess my sins. Although I cheered for every Bufallo goal in todays game I felt relieved when the Panthers scored 4:3 goal. I felt happy and deeply ashamed. Please let us be great next season so that such things never repeat. Back to GDT. This is what I hate in the US sport system ( Don't understand me wrong, I love the balance in NHL the trade dead line and the playoffs). But when you are bad, you really need to be bad to draft high. My favorite soccer club Borussia Dortmund really sucked during the first season half. They were even on last place, which means to go down one league at the end of the season (to a league like ahl level). Now they won 4 games in a row and I am relieved that they are back in the mid field. Buffalo on the other hand needs to lose so we get even more better with McEichel next seasons. How can I cheer to win games without any sense? I am looking forward to next season when the lottery changes even more. By the way if I remember correctly Alexander Daigle was also a generational talent during his draft, when Ottawa won the race of shame. He was a bust, so this can happen.

2:0? Florida is sleeping.
