  1. Yep. I think if the Isles keep winning and it is obvious they will make the playoffs that (and the Blues) picks could be in play for a good young player either in the NHL or a year away. TM has said he would like to do this in interviews last year but never really got the chance. I could see another push being made later this year or at the draft.

  2. I commented in the Training Camp Thread a month ago that Zadorov was listed at 238 based on the training camp news release. That seems like far to heavy of a weight for him unless he gained a ton of muscle. Looks like he may have been just slacking off this summer and although the Sabres seem to want him with the big club (alteast for now) they still have to get him in game shape. He's still a young kid but if this is the reason he isn't being played then I'm starting to get concerned.

  3. I know this should go in the draft thread but I've heard Hanifin is being hyped as a better prospect then Seth Jones. I think we need to take BPA and find a trade partner to take on one of our D if we end up picking third. I'm very curious to see how Zacha does this year. He's had a slow start in comparison to several of the other elite prospects but as you said, it may be because of the transition to NA.

  4. It's either Mantha or Nyquist for me. As someone else said Larkin is just more of what we already have. It's obvious that some don't feel Myers is worth a teams top prospect, which is valid. I think the potential is still there and he has looked like a different player since Nolan came to town. Why trade Myers if we're moving past a teams top 2 options? Detroit may not have much LW or RW depth behind those top guys but they also don't have a potential top pairing Dman either.

  5. All of these rules are in place to protect the CHL. A STH in London would likely be pretty pissed off if Zad rips it up all season and then the Sabres call him up at the end of the year and he misses the stretch run and playoffs. Atleast if the Sabres now decide to keep Zad all year then London can make other plans. It's a ###### rule from a Buffalo perspective but that is why it is in place.

  6. Darnell Nurse playing his first NHL game tonight for Oilers. He was picked one spot ahead of Risto so I'm interested in seeing what kind of player he becomes. Sorry I wasn't sure what thread to put this in but for those interested and have centre ice, thought I'd throw it out there.
