Skinner at 15G, 30 would feel better, contract wise. For the season that is.

Dirty one by Skinner, good work by Tuch.

Wife is working so I’ll watch hockey. Go Sabres!

Nemec at #2. Top goalies 84th and 87th. Bob McKenzie had Tyler Brennan at 64. I would take a goalie with a later pick this year and let him stew.

Brian Leetch wasn’t exactly a defensive stalwart, HOF and a Cup.

Weaponize the Cap space. I want to see them get tangible assets, preferably prospects on the cusp of making it to take on some salary for a few months. There must be a lot of teams wanting to add players who they think will get them deep into the playoffs but they don’t have cap space. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Miller can bring back a pick and someone might think one of the Jags can provide injury insurance for a late pick.

This will be a once in a lifetime experience and another gauge of his development. I hope he is given a chance to play.

Broken shiny new toy. What a year.

Just got a filling done at the dentist. I’ll be able to eat some solid food later.

McKenzie’s top 20 show is a wrap. Craig Button added some comments. A few takeaways: 1 Wright has dropped in scouts’ eyes, goal scoring is down. 9/10 scouts still have him #1. 2 Cooley is the top challenger for #1, Button says he has him at #2 as well. 3 Kemell has slowed a bit and is injured at the moment. 4 Savoie has high end talent. He was interviewed and compared his game to Braden Point and Matthew Barzal. 5 Slafkovsky has speed and size, a rare combination at the top of this draft. 6 Mirochnichenko has a wide variety of ranking from scouts. 7 Jiricek is out long term but is a two way threat on D. 8 Yurov is hampered by limited minutes in the KHL. 9 Nemec is an offensive D who could go top 5. 10 Geekie is an average skater who plays a heavy game. 11 Lambert has speed to burn but even after a slow start 6/10 scouts rank him top 10. 12 Lekkerimaki 13 Gauthier 14 Nazar 15 Howard 16 Mintyukov is rocketing up the rankings. Russian LHD playing in the OHL. 17 Kasper 18 Chesley 19 Snuggerud 20 Gaucher

Miller better get healthy and stay that way for the trade deadline.

He’s not the saviour but we all want to see if he can continue where he left off last season. He can be an important weapon going forward. I cannot recall anything he has done this year, it’s been such a brutal start for him.

I happen to be home alone (dog) in front of a warm fire while it is -25C outside. Perfect timing for this show. Bob’s list is generated by intel he gets from NHL scouts so it is not his opinion.

Quinn is in, imho.

Quinn as a trigger man who can pass will be dangerous. I just don’t think that will get much of a look until later. VO, with his shot back, on the opposite half wall, will make teams have to cover 2 shooters. Tuch or Tage can be net front while Casey or Krebs plays the bumper and rotates to the point. Dahlin has full range to rove high to low.

Stay healthy and show us what you’ve got Casey.

Marcus can play middle six. Miss him.

Leafs get smoked by the Rangers 6-3 after they led 3-1. Sportsnet was helping plan the Cup parade after a fast start.

Yeah, Schneider is a good prospect. Another one is Calen Addison of the Wild. He has done well in the AHL and got a taste of the show. I don’t know much about him, not a big guy. You never know what can be had to take on a bad contract.

Can’t wait until the Buffaslug becomes cool again. I liked the goat heads but I am happy for the return of the traditional B&G.
