Exactly, not to mention you add in that Sam Reinhart, and Skinner are not defensive end forwards either. The fundamental problem is, that our team defense is ATROCIOUS.

Meh, offense only, no defensive zone presence. He took a step down after a career year. Undersized left wing. Pass! I do want to upgrade this roster, but with players that actually improve faults. Overpay for Cirelli over trading for Montreal scrubs.

I don't use Twitter, can you show me the tweet?

I definitely agree in principle. It just depends on the outcome of said "trade". I'm more on the - trade for assets to improve the team now, but also if they fit a longer term vision than 2-3 years from now. See: Monahan.

If they draft a forward at #8, and can move back into the draft to get Sanderson, then it's a boon and a win. However, taking Sanderson at 8, will be disappointing to me.

Montour should at least get a second year in Buffalo. He was a mixed bag last year. At times he looked fantastic, and other times, he looked lost, and out of place. I like the player profile, but we need to see him shine. If not, trade him and move on.

This is the right number for Sam, for 4-5 years. I don't think giving him 8 years is a smart idea. If we're going to turn this around, stop giving 8 year contracts you regret.

This is a perfect post. I think a LHD like McNabb, a second line center and a solid solid #2 goalie (someone similar to Jack Campbell would be amazing). Our defense needs some patch work. I think we need to make some changes to the group to bring in freshness. McCabe and Ristolainen have been here long enough to know what they are, and at this point we need some new life in the back end. What we do with Montour and Miller is a question mark, however they cannot be any worse than they were last year. Also, Montour, take a real number! 62, is ridiculous!

Go Vancouver! Bo Horvat is such a stud! Trade Miller and Montour and sign Tanev!

I'm not going to insult an AHL hire. Shrugs. Welcome to Chaos Nation.

Lundell or Raymond (First round) okay with Rossi, Quinn, Holtz, Perfetti If available Gunler (Second round), Grans Still firmly in this camp. I'm warmed up to Rossi, and watched a lot more tape. However, I'm still high on Lundell. He's what this team needs and it fits a high-end two way player. Advanced stats are in his favor too.

I agree with you Eleven. I just don't know if there is that type of player available for #8 and assets that we have. Our talent cupboard is all either "not A level prospects" or already in the NHL. If you can get Hertl, or Monahan, I'd do it immediately. I would take Hertl over Cirelli any day. He probably costs less too than Cirelli.

Horvat is unlikely available, Monahan seems less and less likely available and we're going to trade too much for Cirelli for what he's actually proven to be at this point. Barkov definitely is not available.

If Lundell is the least exciting pick to you, for me it's Sanderson and it's not even close. If we take him 8th overall, which is easily 10 spots too early, I will lose my mind. Rossi is not falling, he's this years Cole Caufield (who slipped to what 7th). I prefer of this list: Lundell, Raymond, Perfetti, Askarov, Quinn, Jarvis, Hotlz.

Hoping for Minnesota.

They have somewhat stable goal tending, quality leadership (Weber), and the right mix of veteran to youth.

That's fine, but adding more players that have major holes in their games, with absorbent salaries is not the way to go. I'm all for making huge changes, but Domi / Drouin are not the changes worth making. Domi was less than stellar after his breakout first season, and really I just don't get why so many people are interested in him. Going after Hertl on the other hand, who is a stellar two way player, draws in the face off circle well, has been to the playoffs multiple times, and can score. IS WORTH GOING AFTER. Differentiating, the right quality over quantity is the problem with this ***** storm of a team.

Gross. Drouin has been abysmal for the past three years. I wouldn't take him for anything other than Okposo. Reinhart is better than him. Domi is also VASTLY overrated. Yes he's offensively gifted, but he's a terrible away from puck player with no defensive upside. He'd fit this team perfectly from that aspect. I'm not interested in taking Montreal's trash.

That would be interesting for sure. I'm not against anyone other than Boston, Toronto and Montreal ?

Really rooting for Arizona and Vancouver. In the east, Columbus, I suppose.

That is what I said.

So would I, or Brady lol

I watched the hit on Scheifele and it was he, who turned away from it early and caused the injury. Tkachuk, didn't perpetrate the incident, in my opinion. But who knows.

We haven't at this time of year for 9 years. Welcome to Buffalo, the usual norm. Watching other teams play well, while our players are golfing or in this case "Social distancing".

Pricing himself out of Chicago. Come to Buffalo, please! Czech, that box.
