Sounds like they are targeting guys like Ott and Malhotra tmmr. I know you posted that in february but yes my tweets make it into HH quite often :D :P

Maybe Murray wants to give myers that 1 season. Like: Ok dude... you are the #1 D-Men here is your chance prove us what you are worth. This might be the last chance for the Sabres to do that. They will be bad this season again and they can easily see if Myers is still that unconsistent dude or if he answers the bell.

Robben was looking for that touch. A ref with balls doesn call it a pk. However netherlands should have gotten one in the first half.

ok.... so? C - Girgensons A - Reinhart A - McCabe

Currently I am in "What just happened-country"...

The boos are just stupid. He was voted sports executive of the year and that was a good decision. we had lockouts but he did whats best for the sport even if it means lockout now and then.

On that point you could argue that the others team best players always were lined up against drouin and ehlers didnt have to play against the number 1 line of the opponent... there is always pros and cons _______________ I mean there is no way that MacKinnon would have put up +60 points on last years sabres team

and still in buffalo the numbers could be Bennett 0.32ppg Reinhart 1.68ppg Draisaitl 1.33ppg You never know that kind of stuff.... depends on linemates ... good tema or bad team. system the team plays.... Bennett could put up 50 goals for buffalo next year and might would only put up 9 for calgary. It makes more sense to watch at strengths and weaknesses instead of numbers

I have issues with all those stats :D In the end it always depends on what kind of style the team plays he ends up. MacKinnon might not have had such a great year if he would have played in Buffalo or for the Islanders... I look more at the attitude then at the skillset.

I really hope Florida picks Ekblad. Then there might be a huge change that we can make a trade with the Oilers that see us end up with the 2nd and 3rd overall pick. Question is what Defender would Edmonton want from Buffalo. They would also get a 2nd pick round as they dont pick until the 4th round. Buffalo has 3 2nd rounders so HELLO EDMONTON! But what Defender would Edmonton want? Pysyk? Ristolainen? Zadorov? McCabe?

When was the last time that a country won the championship winning all games in regulation?

Damn ... If the Sabres ever get a guy like Toews.... Just wow

Since he is often compared with Kopitar. Kopitar back then had 1G 0A -6. Draisaitl will end up in Edmonton.

HE WILL BE BACK IN BUFFALO!!! just kidding ... :D I can see him in SJ even though reports tell a different story.

Leon Draisaitl finished the World Championships with 7GP 1G 3A 4Pts -3 pretty good tournament for him

http://youtu.be/ti2RDsbJQRI It was close to 4 am in germany and I will never forget that moment.

Draisaitl is not going to be Gretzky like. He is mostlikely not going to be going MacKinnon or Crosby or Toews or whatever like. You never know how a player developes. Even Reinhart or Bennett or Ekblad could be busts. You can just say where they are now. And there was an article on the IIHF website comparing his efforts at the IIHF with what Kopitar did back then prior to his draft Comparing players at the same stages is possible but to say this player will be like..... is crap... http://www.iihfworld...isaitl-feature/ Here is the article

The thing why Scouts love Draisaitl is that he put up those numbers with players that are by far worse the the guys Reinhart and Bennett played with...

btw he was voted germanys player of the game and yeah I think Sabres will end up with Bennett

Watching the IIHF WOrlds as Draisaitl is on Team Germany... Maybe an advantage for him, that he can show his play against "Men teams" prior to the Draft. Yesterday 1 game germany won 2:1 and he had an assist. Summary... so strong on the puck and he protects it perfectly... skating needs work but impressive how he always knows where on the ice his teammates are. slick and clear passes and everytime he is on the ice he creates something. Germany playing against Ted Nolan and Girgensons right now. Germany leads Latvia 1:0

There is a good chance for Leon Draisaitl to make the german team for the world championships in belarus... another chance for him to showcase his talent... An opportunity that Ekblad,Reinhart, Bennett... will not have

I think SUlz was that very reliable 7th man. He wouldn't demand a spot, he wouldn't go to the media complaining about it. He would do his job if needed and did that in a great way. The injuries really blew his chances here. Could have been a solid 5th or 6th dmen however with all those prospects no room for him in Buffalo.

I thought they might re-sign him because they would rather sit him as a 7th guy than a young guy who would need playing time.

Alexander Sulzer goes back to Germany and has signed a 5y contract with the Cologne Sharks. So he will not be back.

I would rather win the Lottery next year!
