Colin Miller and Mark Pysyk are still unsigned. Ducks!!!

You think he gets 40 in Ottawa?

I doubt Debrincat scores much more than 30 without Kane.

He’s only the second guy I see with that name, the other being Bobrov, the Russian coach in the 1972 Summit Series.

They just signed DeAngelo to 2x$5M

If he can be mentored by Datsyuk he can’t help but improve.

That is impressive, surround him with some talented playmakers (Krebs, Östlund) and watch out.

Nice, another guy to watch at this tournament. I hope Rosen gets a bigger role than last December. He was a third liner and wasn’t a factor when I watched him.

I would give Comrie a shot now. If he wants to come to Buffalo to be a starter there is no other team that could outbid KA. My trade target would be Varlamov. At his age he wouldn’t block UPL, Levi or Portillo.

KA’s patience may work well in this case. I don’t want to give up much in assets to get him, I think they can get him as a UFA next July. If KA waits them out and no one else can fit him under their cap then Kane could land in his lap for a cheap return. KA could also help his cause by weaponizing the cap to get Kane where he wants to go for a playoff run this year. The Sabres could gain an asset for making the deal happen and be #1 on Kane’s list for next year.

Comrie could be worth a shot, In tandem with Anderson. He’s watched Hellebuyck up close and should have learned a few things.

That’s too bad, if true, I thought he could be in the Sabres plan now that the carousel is nearly empty.

I have very similar grades for day 1 & 2 as well as the overall draft. Savoie will be an NHLer, his ceiling is Brayden Point. Östlund like Krebs could be a Gilmour type. Kulich is a nice pick and could be a Palat type of player. The grade is A on day 1. I think Leinonen was early but if they felt he was the best goalie and someone may scoop him then I’m ok with it. Neuchev could be a solid pick. I listened to a podcast geared at Russian prospects and he was near the top. Lindgren could be in the NHL in 4 years, he has skill and pedigree, I like this pick. Richard is a late ‘04 who finished really well in the USHL and should be a top guy there this year. The rest are just hopium shots in my opinion. B+ for day two. It will take a few years to get a good grasp of this draft but I believe the Sabres will be near the top of the heap and they should supplant the LA Kings as having the deepest prospect pool.

I think he may play in all three leagues next year. He has probably grown out of the MHL and should get games in the VHL with the occasional bench warming call up to the KHL.

I am getting the feeling that they will gamble on Holtby for two years. If he and/or Anderson breaks then they get a taste of UPL. Subban or Dell may be the other Rochester guy. I think Campbell will want too much term for KA’s plan and he won’t get into a bidding war for Kuemper. There are still some possibilities on the trade front but the draft currency is now ‘23 and ‘24.

I do not think so and his Elite Prospects page doesn’t show him being drafted in the CHL.

This will be the best talent at a Sabres development camp that I can recall. I am really anxious to see clips and interviews.

The picture of him in the gym does not look like a 165 lb kid.

It would be nice to have depth where a guy that can’t make your team is too good for the AHL so he is traded for something you need.

This kid has some nice highlights, he could turn into something. IIRC there were some lists that had him in the 2nd or 3rd rounds.

I would’ve loved to see them roll out Murray and Mrzak, their fan base would lose their minds.

Matt Murray is from Thunder Bay Ontario, hometown of Carter Hutton.

He wants to reunite with Dubas and Keefe. He will be the chosen one to return Toronto to the top of the heap.

Pre draft there were many posters who wanted to draft a goalie. I was in this camp and I believe they should take one every year so that there is a pipeline. Most feel that this was too early but it is the guy they wanted. There is another goalie prospect in the ranks.

Is Nedelkovic now available from the Wings? Stevie Y probably keeps him as insurance.
