This is an upgraded “patch a raft” lineup that’s temporary. There is a slew of kids in the system that much more fit JBots vision. If half of them turn out in Rochester expect another turn over like this next year, another trade and we might start seeing JBots true vision coming together. Unfortunately that means 2 more years until we think playoffs. If this is our roster 80-85 points max in my opinion but Improvment and development.

Jack needs a Kucherov type winger. When we get one of those Jack puts up 100 pets easy.

Too early to tell. Tearing down the rotten structure may be what we need and then rebuilding correctly. Seems he has a plan but unfortunately we have to be patient 2 more years.

We can either cry or man up.... I’ve already figured he’d land there... let’s go... going to be a fun rivalry.... imagine in a few years us and them as the top teams in our division. Let’s go Buffalo!!!!

Subtract JVR and Bozak production and there is not a big difference for Toronto. The question will be what he can do in the playoffs vs the other two. I’m not handing Toronto the cup yet. We’ll see.

I figured Toronto... they are probably going to be the best team next year... but I don’t know if the defense is mature enough to win a cup.

JBot mentioned Ullmark around 20 games was the goal. Still developing.

I think it’s clear from the price being #3 and JBots comments last night, ROR only gets moved for an overpayment... which is the right approach imo. He has great value to the team right now as JBot said

I’ve noticed it right off the bat. Very mature and grounded. It’s actually uncanny. This is very good news.

cannot wait

I love the way Jbot is building depth. This was not going to be fixed in two drafts. I suspect another couple drafts and the organization will be set for becoming a long term contender for the next decade.

Bergevin was silly not to take JBots offer at #3 imo. Not saying that was bad for us necessarily but he will lose his job before that kid is ready (and he reached). ROR makes them better today.

I couldnt believe how genuinely excited he was to get here listening to him on WGR's Brian Koziol show. Apparently Eichel called him too.

thanks!

Oh I bet their mods are working OT on that thread handing out infractions

The scouting has been pretty spot on the past decade or so about the elite players...they are all saying he is the real deal

Oh my gosh I was rolling... that thread is a angry bee hive right now

I like that JBOT is not buying out anyone. Wise move. Eat those contracts now and we will be cleared up to sign Dahlin and Mitts down the road long term.
