The follow up quote makes me wonder what Nolan was getting at. Was he referring to Hodgson being really good in close, or that if we had people who would go in close he'd get them the puck? I think it's the former, but it's still an odd sequence of quotes.
Nolan just realizes Hodgson doesn't have the talent on his wings he deserves.

Drew Stafford lays out Kassian. You heard it here first.
That would be awesome just to see :P
-
Wouldn't it make more sense to trade Myers in a deal for Eberle. Someone who would immediately upgrade the top six and really there is barely no difference in the cap hits between the two. To me that's a more likely scenario. Unless TMGM is in love with two of the Bennett, Reinhart, Draisaitl group. Trading Myers for Eberle and then taking one of those three and Ekblad...makes some sense possibly.
Not really interested in picking anyone up from that perpetual loserteam tbh :D
And if they want myers its starts with RNH or Hall, eberle just doesn't cut it.
-
Seeing most games start at 01.00 am for me, I have to say i can't be bothered to stay up for this kinda crap all night :D

yeah cody needs better wingers

How i see what will happen next two years.
2014
Murray will pick Bennet or Draisaitl, two guys whom can play wing/center and slot next to Grigorenko or Hodgson. if hodgson or grigs fail they can take the center spot.
Resign Ott and sign Callahan in the offseason.
2015
Tank is still on, get another top5 pick in 2015, and sign patrick kane offseason.
Defense wise nothing will change, because nobody will pay the myers asking price and erhoffs recapture penalty is to scary to let him go to another team.
In two years 2016
Bennet/Draisaitl - Grigorenko - Kane
Ennis - Hodgson - callahan <----- 2015 1st round pick probably will replace Ennis or Hodgson here.
Deslauriers - Girgensons - Conacher
Carrier - Ott - Foligno / larsson / Flynn
Myers - Zadorov
Erhoff - Ristolainen
Ruhwedel - Pysyk
Goalie
Neuvirth
Enroth - will probably get traded and be replaced by Ullmark.
An yes i have high hopes still for Grigorenko, More than for Ennis or Hodgson still being here in two years to be honest.
-
Liger seems a bit out of touch with this draft.
Claimed that Reinhart is as good as MacKinnon and that Dal Colle could play an have an impact immediately. Reinhart is the only player, by most accounts, that would be able to step in immediately from this draft.
I'm probably one of few, but i grade bennet and Draisaitl higher than reinhart, and i hope murray sees that to. Then again i've only seen limited play of them all so :P
-
Empty netter in final game :D
-
Don't think we'll win many more to be honest.
-
You know you need to draft centers when your team consists of Ennis, Flynn, Leino and Ellis as your 4 centers. CoHo on the wing hopefully gets his lazy ass going.
We got Grigorenko for that :D
-
So a team isn't allowed to sell off their failed veteran core in an effort to maximize assets and rebuild with a younger more talented core? What were the Sabres supposed to do? Hover at 8-12th for another 5-7 years and hope they get lucky?
To me it is obvious that the Sabres are tanking because they recognized they couldn't win a cup with the vets they had and their best chance of doing it was getting and developing good young talent.
Those vets brought them close to the final though :D

The two firsts are what hold value in the suggested deal. It'd be a top three pick this year, a high pick this year (albeit not as high with Tavares in the fold), an extremely capable and underrated around these parts forward in Ennis and a good young player in Hodgson or Grigorenko. Not would still take more, but the firsts would obviously be big.
If the deal were to ever be even considered then it'd probably be something like...
Two firsts, Myers, Ennis and one of Risto/Zadorov. Possibly a bit more.
You underestimate how good Myers is, I consider him to be only slight less of the worth JT has.
So to me it wouldn't take more than Myers + hodgson + Islanders 2014 1st back.
-
He'll take ekblad if he has a deal for Myers in place though.
-
You know what would become a real wet dream at this draft.
Florida and edmonton outbidding eachother for buffalo's #1 pick because they both want ekblad :D
Hell we can include the islanders in that even.
-
Hope someone lays Vanek out with a big hit, I somewhat cared for him when he was a sabre, but never been a fan.
-
Well, that empty netter seals the deal.
Oh well, thanks to the law of averages the odds of Leino scoring in the NEXT game are even better than in this game.
The tank is strong in this one
-
I'd just put him on a line with briere, but im not montreals coach :P
-
I feel terrible about that. Reinhart seems to be falling for being the clear number one in a "bad draft" for too long. I would be disappointed if he weren't the pick.
I wouldn't , Draisaitl and bennet would be my picks to.
-
Only saw one period last night, but in Hodgons defense, he has been playing with AHL'rs on his line for most of the years.
-
Well real ###### 2nd period, 02.00 am im off to bed :P
-
Neuvirth might be the steal at the deadline in a few years.
-
Semantics aside, Girgs potential doesn't land him on a top line in the NHL. He just doesn't have the hands. He'll be a solid energy and third line guy for 15 years who can occasionally slide onto a scoring line.
Yup the same spot i see conacher take on a good team.
-
Hodgson just doesn't have any talent on his line, hope something changes that next year.
Michal Neuvirth's new mask is nice
