I lived and died after every game that horrendous tank season for Eichel. Felt like every game was a playoff game. No chance I trade him for anyone.

Maybe it happens but I'd still be very very surprised if Serg is our pick.

Even though the draft is in Buffalo I'm still going with 4 words. Buffalo Selects X X

I don't believe a word any team says leading up to the draft. In fact, I usually believe the opposite.

No I don't think he should be. Having said that, are the Sabres going to bring forward tampering charges on Jimmy's dad? Not sure that'll help our cause in signing him.

Both of these had me literally laughing out loud.

I love GMTM..... Good stuff. Let's get the deal done now.

Sorry but can the thread title be changed to "acquired" or "traded to Buffalo"? My first thought when I saw the thread was me, who got him?

I know it would be tampering but I would think Murray (via Eichel) must have an idea he can get a deal done with him. Don't know where he projects and how good he can be but this is great news!!!!

Yep, but that's gonna cost me some money.....

I bet my uncle that Tkachuk is taken in the top 5 picks because he couldn't stop talking about how he thinks Tkachuk sucks...... Now watch Edmonton take a D and Vancouver go Dubois at 5.......

Yes.

This is likely. But oh so boring....

I also don't have twitter. What's with all the misinformation out there? Do some ppl just think they're being cool or funny tossing whatever out there?

Really? Maybe our view on Puljujarvi are way off. This guy is NHL ready and a hell of a 2-way player. He won the WJC MVP. Guy is gonna be an unreal player and certainly a cut about the 4-10 guys.

True but I also can't believe their is another GM out there equivalent to Colorado's management. Does the mid round pick mean a 3rd? Heck, I would easily do 8, our 2nd round pick and Foligno.

Ummmmm yes please. No way all it takes is Foligno 8 and a midround pick.

:w00t: He's out to lunch. Not the way the game is played now of days.

Good, she sounded like a psycho. It's one thing having a crummy job, much worse if you deal with crummy ppl.

Ya that clarification would be nice. WGR is either really out to lunch or Sabrespace is mistaken. I would probably bet on WGR being wrong....

So two things.....first WGR is wrong in that Bogo has no say if he were traded today? Secondly, does this mean we have to protect him in Expansion draft? WGR was talking for like 10 minutes on how the Sabres would have to convince Bogo to go to Edmonton if the trade went down now. So once again they were out to lunch I take it?

I don't remember too many silly deals thrown out last offseason but I may be have missed one or two.

I heard on the way in that WGR thinks his NMC is still in effect..... If so, he must be protected under the Expansion draft and would throw a wrench into who to protect if we can add another top 4 dman.

With the cap not going up very much I wonder what Free Agency is going to look like. I think teams may be slowly learning that overpaying in FA is not how to build your team. Although maybe I'm wrong and they won't be able to help themselves.

Is Eberle a tire fire in his own end or just avg/slightly below avg.? I don't care how he can score, I don't want another Cody Hodgson.
