Jack Eichel: Last Word on Sports
Once Eichel gets a step on a defender, they are in trouble as he accelerates past them and heads to the front of the net. His agility, and edgework are also extremely good and he can pair them with his stickhandling to elude defenders and create opportunities for a shot or a pass. Eichel has good balance, and is difficult to knock off the puck

Last Word on Sports has Strome ranked 3rd in their final rankings
Dylan Strome is outstanding on faceoffs, and is one of the best in the OHL. His defensive game is decent but would be improved if he can work on his first few skating steps. He’s a committed backchecker who supports the defence down low and is willing to do whatever it takes to win games.

I think Hanifin looks like as a good a pick as any. If we end up with him I wouldn't be sad
Hanafin is the safe pick. Strome and Marner carry slightly more risk but a ton more upside IMPO. I think this draft will be like 2013 where Seth Jones slid. Strome IMPO will go before Hanafin unless Edmonton really loves Hanafin.
-
I am afraid he may get a few more chances to prove what he can do with a top 5 pick.
No just this year.

I am not going to read this thread because I know what it says roughly.
Since I know what is at stake I would prefer the Sabres to lose out. That being said, any GM that is worth his weight in golden fried wings should be able to draft a legitimate top 6 player with the 3rd or 4th overall pick. Jonathan Toews who people love so much, 3rd overall. Just one example. It is Tim Murray's job to get an impact player wherever he selects. If he can't do that with a top 5 pick, than fire him.
-
Or since it has worked well for something like 50 years we can just keep drafting the way we are with the changed lottery. Maybe we should take away all the teams that won cups because they sucked so bad to get the 1st overall pick? Self. Hating. Stupid.
-
I'd take Marner but would be perfectly happy with Strome. That said I don't think we will draft either.

He's done for this year. They won't let him play. He can't do full workouts.
That is really sad to hear. I hope he get's healthy over the summer.

They are playing for the name on the back of the sweater; not for the crest on the front.
Couldn't. Resist.

I haven't learned a whole lot of lessons from two years of CHL hockey, but one thing that has become crystal clear is who are our SS foxhole guys.
What do you mean?

1. What are HIS rankings?
2. April Fool's day is like opposite day, so it's the one day a year when we can take that site seriously.
I don't know what HIS rankings are. Something at ESPN I am guessing? I read the article twice but it didn't seem like April Fool's stuff so apparently some ranking somewhere put Eichel at #3.

So hockeybuzz, no this ins't an April fool's thing, has just posted a discussion of the HIS rankings for april

Maybe one day I will understand why Crouse is ranked ahead of Marner? this coming after Marner puts up 6 points and is dominating his play-off series (7G 5A in 3 games).
Again I would say the people ranking Marner below Strome & Crouse probably are the same ones that ranked Patrick Kane below Kyle Turris in their draft year.
IF the Sabres draft 3rd I think its going to be a difficult decision between Hanifin and Marner.
I completely agree. Marner just keeps getting better. He is a little streaky at times but he shows up big when needed.
Marner: 44g, 82a, 126a in 63 games for the regular season. 7g, 5a, 12pts in 3 games so far in the postseason.

Your an a..hole Liger. :)

i dont get that either. Same with bailey, why cant a team just play him less than 9 (i think tor signed him with 10 games left)
but (and general consensus agrees),
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 2m2 minutes agoBaun's deal with CHI is two-year entry level. Will burn 1st year now by playing game(s) this season.
Because these guys are not singing entry level contracts. They are signing as College UFA's completely different.

So woke up this morning to find out that there have been serious discussion between Tim Murray and Joe Sakic about a trade involving the Sabres 2015 1st round pick for Ryan O'Reilly, Nick Magyar, and Colorado's 2015 1st.
Insider Trading, talks between Col and Buf over possible trade of Buf 2015 1st for O'Reilly, Magyar and Col 2015 1st #Sabres #Avalanche
Rumors out of Buffalo indicate serious talks between Murray and Sakic over exchange of 2015 1st round picks and Ryan O'Reilly #Sabres
