franson is still dealing with a nasty concussion who knows when he'll come out of that one.

Toronto got Rychel for Scott harrington and a conditional pick. damn that is just robbery.

this isn't overpayment, there was no room for Pysyk since we got Nelson. Also we move up 5 spots in the 2nd round. Its an even trade for sure, if anyone should be pissed its panthers fans. If you go to nhl.com and see that Pysyk has played 125 games over 4 seasons and has 28 points to show for it, you think fringe NHL'er.

There were certain teams interested in Kulikov that GMTM still is having talks with, I can see him being used in another trade deal. Didn't think much of it at first but reading other forums and it has being going around there as well. Don't feel this trade makes much sense for our D situation, yes he is LHD, but not a top 2 kinda guy.

We got a BeNE league now. Belgium and Netherlands have one league again - Been trying that with many sports ( womens football, volleyball, basketball all looking into doing it, or have done it in some form already.) Happened before in the 90's I think, but back then our facilities weren't so good and they split up. https://www.rbihf.be/en/league/bene Hmm seems to be a national league besides that as well, don't know the format of this will have to look into it.

http://sabres.buffalonews.com/2016/06/25/budik-answers-questions-nyberg-media-room-mix/ He beat nyberg to the interview room and pretended he was him, everyone fell for it :D

http://sabres.nhl.com/club/blogpost.htm?id=46953&navid=DL|BUF|home Sabres actually had a story written on two local boys , him being one of them. Well they should know him well enough.

probably got picked for his playoff performance, 8 goals and 13 points in 18 games.

We are really going to have fun with his name aren't we :D

http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=241698 Going to keep my eye on him, playing for Jokerit in finland next year.

damn how many picks did we have lol :p

Ty ronning is still out there, bit surprising for someone who tested well at certain areas in the combine. Could be a good late pick up. #83 Wouter peeters, Blackhawks. Wow a Belgian player drafted, must be a first ? Goalie from Salzburg apparently.

Hah nice, was reading about him a couple of weeks ago, guess this isn't a bad pick up.

a bit surprised about this trade but I guess the asking price for Fowler was to high. McCabe - Risto Kulikov - Bogo Gorges - Nelson Franson Guess we'll roll out like that for now ?

maybe Yakupov can improve by having some after practice sessions with O'Reilly.

Didn't feel the pick at first, thought we should have gone Defense, but GMTM does Best player available and can't fault him for it. the choice for nylander is starting to grow on me though, and we can use a good top 6 RW/LW.

The Toronto staff put on to much of a show to select Matthews, and now our director from blah blah blah blah .

That is good. Just seen his interview and he seems to be pumped buffalo picked him, Murray wanted him badly to and probably nerved the Fowler deal for it. kid had a smile on his face when he was talking about future games against his brother.

How many years away is he from the NHL ? Seems like he needs to build his frame a bit. 1 - 2 years ?

Damn, this draft * Tumbleweed* everywhere :D

hmm ok must be wrong then :p

Wondering who that is as well.

I thought the rule was, he has to sign by july 1st , or he is a free agent come august 15.

hah thought I was alone here on the U2 hate, Bono is full of

Would be lovely if he signs today :D
