May mock: 1. Schaefer 2. Misa 3. Martone 4. Desnoyers 5. Hagens 6. Martin 7. O'Brien 8. Frondell 9. McQueen 10. Mrtka

Martone is going to be a playmaker with some jam. Good vision and solid skating, soft hands. He's gonna be a 1st or 2nd line winger and my guess is he goes to Chicago at 3 to play with Bedard.

He still got drafted right where he was ranked. Benson on the other hand dropped quite far.

I went and looked. A few midterms have Savoie 5 but final rankings all have him lower. 7-10

No he wasn't. He might have gotten up 6 but not 3. Savoie went right where he was ranked.

I think, Schaefer, Misa, Martone, Desnoyers are likely to go before him but Martin, Frondell seem unlikely. McQueen will depend on medical. Bear won't. Eklund won't. Hagens is gonna go 4-6 in all likelihood but... let's say you're right. At 9, you take Hagens and run.

No chance he gets to 9. 7, maybe. James Hagens is far better than Mittelstadt. At least imo

Why? And more to the point you value Peterka so much higher that you think that ask isn't enough and Rossi so little that it's an overpay.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/politics/universities-negotiate-trump-administration-harvard The short version is that any university that doesn't push Trumps hate filled agenda will be targeted. This is authoritarianism. MAGA is an authoritarian ideology.

There's basically 0 evidence that Lindy Ruff is a better coach than Granato at this stage.

TACO.

Would you trade Peterka for Tyson Forester and a 1st?

I keep wondering if Dahlin has spoken up to Adams about guys who are buying in and guys who are in it for their stats. Not saying that's Peterka, just a thought.

Donald Trump is so old, senile, and stupid that he can't handle a regular intel briefing. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/gabbard-considering-ways-revamp-trumps-intelligence-briefing-rcna209805 What a loser. Can't even handle the job, he's just an angry old man who's cognitively in a steep spiraling decline. His policies are based on his hatred and his insecurities. If there is a midterm election, we can only hope that adults re-enter the room because this is laughably pathetic.

Hmm... yes.

He's short and I believe he was on the ice for 2g against. I'm not being flippant either, the talk out of Minnesota is that Rossi's size isn't in favor with the GM. Rossi has limits due to size. I think Minnesota wants to get harder to play against and specifically bigger.

Marco Rossi got covid after the draft and almost died. He spent a year barely playing hockey. So... trajectories https://thehockeynews.com/news/news/marco-rossi-just-thankful-to-be-alive

Idk why any of us have to fight about this at all. We can't know how it changes things. Wait and see is all we can do.

God this is annoying. You're hedging too by taking this line btw fyi "See I said every one would get negative" that's hedging. Who the ***** cares if you're right or in right? Who cares? Theirs about 20 threads that delve into the nuanced problems of the Buffalo Sabres, enjoy the read.

The move changes nothing until something happens. That's just logic.
