This might be the greatest stat ever.

He writes profiles in the draft year and then skims stuff there after to "update" his ranks while just regurgitating his draft profiles.

So McLeod scored on a hat trick on 2 shots. That's crazy.

Good update, was coming back to say it was still up in the air. Trivia question answer now if McLeod gets a hat trick on 2 shots on goal.

They are correct. Since Thompson was the last Sabre to touch the puck, he gets credit. McLeod was slashed before he touched it. All the Sabres reporters are reporting it.

Love it

For anyone who cares, Zach Benson is ranked 83rd behind both Peterka and Kulich. Owen Power is also ranked here about all 3. Maverick Lamorieux btw is ranked 47th which is hilarious.

Lol Pronman loves his big ***** defenders

Lol jjp getting some love

Inject this straight into my brain: I've been bitching about how he talks size and skating for years. Love to see it called out.

Idk about that, but he's certainly worth signing.

What I think of Wayne's opinion:

I'll update the "is he worth re-signing" McLeod v. Cozens race tomorrow. They are neck and neck

By this logic, Connor Clifton is our best defender so... maybe there's a flaw.

That top 6 might be close.

Good article but 1 gripe. Hockey suck at talking about skating. Saying "Skinner skating is average at best" is just so lazy. Skinner has great edges and balance, he's not fast and that's what the writer means. It's the same ***** Pronman pulls. Not fast doesn't mean can't skate.

I mean this team is basically one giant buoy.

Tuch should be captain! Wait...

Drafting 1st overall doesn't really do it anymore huh?

He's played for 3 different teams in the last year and wants some stability. He has 2 kids and is divorced, his wife is from Minnesota, so idk why Buffalo but if he wants to be a 50pt guy again next year and support the kids, I am good with him.

The difference between pick 16 and 22 in the draft is minimal at best. That said, I still would have drafted Ohgren because he was a very different skillset compared to Östlund. Nathan Gaucher was taken 22 overall and he is in year 2 of the AHL. He has 6pts in 35 games. Idk if Östlund will make it, he isn't big enough or strong enough but the underlying skills (skating, handling, positioning, passing) are all there. Honestly if you flip Kulich and Östlund's order, it looks way better. Either way, Östlund probably has 2 more AHL years left before we need to worry about him and that's fine. If they trade him, so be it, if they don't maybe he pans out. All the players taken between Östlund and Kulich. People can decide for themselves which one's they like better.

That's fine if that's your argument but you said, he didn't "enough experience" and that's not true. You want to argue he isn't a good leader or what not, fine. But Rasmus Dahlin is a veteran NHL player at this point.

Dahlin has played 471 games over a 7yr NHL career to date.
