    Baptiste's birthday is 8.4.1995. Is he eligible for the AHL in 2014? Fasching has been solid as well. The Rau kid is a player. B10 network broadcast.

    So you would not want a possible Datsyuk or Hossa? Not saying these guys are, but I would think we would want bpa regardless of country of origin.

    Huh...and this because....?

    I'm hooked. Great acting, great characters.

    That is the point. The picks, should they be exercised, will not be on the roster immediately. To field a po quality team you will need a few fas. I don't think we can land true difference maker until the prospects get closer the nhl level. Im in the minority I know, but a first round bow out with no shot at the cup is the same as not making it in the first place. I thought i responded to that...but the answer is nothing. I like what we have done in accumulating talent and would like that to continue through 2015.

    Correct me if I am mistaken, but wasn't there outcry for not rushing Z, Risto and Grigs this year? The picks this year may contribute right away, but more likely will not join the big club. So essentially your opening day roster will be constructed with what's on hand and the promotion of a few in the pipeline. FA? Forget it. This is Buffalo and no FA worth a damn is signing on until there is a reasonable possibility of winning. So I think the tank is not over nor should it be. By opening day 2015 there will be a much stronger group of homegrown talent ready to contribute with a strong pipeline to feed the big club as needed. Then we can be a player in FA.

    I ve seen crab raw and flamed with a butane torch over raw oysters. Both yummy.

    Tip. If you are in Chicago, try Tanoshi on Clark and Bryn Mawr. The head chef, Mike, trained with Nobu. Top notch and byob, so reasonable.

    Rack of lamb on an a bed of mashed reds and sauteed spinach....Bell's Two Hearted as the featured beverage.

    I think GMTM is giving some of the lads an opportunity to impress him or his colleagues. I think that is a good thing fwiw. Edit:

    As you try to comfort yourself with the thought of first round bust remember the that Larry B was a lottery pick. The pens, hawks,Bruins, ducks are the rule the wings the exception.

    The 4 seasons allowed them to pick in the top 5 consistently as well their 2nds being more valuable. The Hawks did what everyone here seems to be clamoring for, i.e. grabbing has beens like Alex Daigle and trying to get the last spot, and failing. When Tallon pulled the plug on that and they bottomed out, their turnaround was very quick. They drafted Toews let him mature at UND then got Kane and traded for Sharp. They signeded Hossa and that put them over the top. The point is trying to be good enough to get in and get hot has only worked for LA and I would argue their high picks and fas came togethor at the right time.

    The lynchpin is Kesler. He changes the balance of power. Moulson and Vanek will be reactions to any move by whomever gets Kesler.

    Pay mm a premium for a ntc and move him in offseason. Carry his salary for a year. By the time we are ready to compete he will be on the wrong side of the hill.
  17. 3putt
    If so TM better have a nice package ready with a premium for deleting the ntc for MM. Halak can walk afaic

    I have changed my mind. Olivia er Sean or Stew or whatever his name is would be a fine addition.
  19. 3putt
    The top teams have few holes. We need an arms race.

    I think Bob may be right in this case. If a few more pieces fall first, I.e. Hemsley etc it will get interesting.
  21. 3putt
    That's chilling. Gillis overplayed his hand with Luongo last year, and well they are a mess. With only our current #1 in 2014 at present, I hope that get at least one more for Moulson.
  22. 3putt
    Nicely played sir...nicely played.

    Ok let's just agree that we will not tank in 2015-16 and make no deadline dumps. Best I can do.
  24. 3putt
    I am not trying to pick a fight, I genuinely understand your frustration. But Toews got the C in year 2. Crosby as well I believe. As for all 20 yos, we will have plenty of vets scraped off the heap to start next year. We are in a very unique position to restock the shelves and have an owner that will spend fill in the gaps...when the time is right.
  25. 3putt
    Why? Look at the ufas trading places. Some will be there in the off season. And Ott? Would you really want the C on Ott vs a Jonathan Toews or Crosby? There is no core here even before Pommers was dealt. There was nothing coming up either. Adam? Dagostini? We need as much top tier talent we can get across the board. Believe me I'm in Chicago and many of the "new" fans werent around even 5 years ago. I crave a team that I can be proud of, but I want a cup and we need more bullets to get one.
