As the caption says, Neuchev looks fun.

So Mule-Dahlin Power-Lyubushkin Happy with that top 4.

Great signing. From Buffalo News: Ilya Lyubushkin: The 28-year-old isn’t flashy and won’t contribute much offensively, but he’s reliable defensively, particularly when trying to stifle an opponent’s rush offense. He’s a right-handed shot, cheap at a projected $836,000 for one year, and it wouldn’t hurt for the Sabres to have a Russian NHLer after they selected six players from the country over the past two drafts.

Anyone know if Samsonov got signed?

Decent article. I like the idea of signing Stecher as Power's partner. Good vet and played with Power before.

Seems a bit pointless at this stage in the offseason.

Yeah, but the model computes based on historical data. So projected starters like Quinn, Peterka, Power have next to zero impact and pretty much count as replacement level.

Gibson has a 10 team M-NTC so we may be on his no trade list.

Lol islanders top of the met. And philly will be lucky to break 65 points this year. They are hot garbage. War data like this is cr4p.

According to Fortin Datsyuk will be the new player development coach with his Russian team next year. So that suggests he's going back.

Can't fault either of these summations. Love the Savoie and Kulich picks and I am good with östlund. I like the focus on talented high compete guys.

How long has Fortin been with the Sabres? If he was part of the previous regime(s) and only now feels valued by the GM it paints a very positive picture of Adams behind the scenes.

Then grab his twin later.

Damn

Yaaaasssssss

Stevie Y not ***** about with his announcement.

Interesting tune selection for Wright finally getting picked. "Don't stop believing". Lol.

Gosh knows how this draft is going to pan out!

Ooft. Here we go.

How long do teams get to make a pick?

Top retort from Bettman to be fair.

He has been sparse with details, and I can't find anything myself.

My flyers supporting friend says there is another of the flyers' Russian prospects who has been detained, possibly looking at jail time. Can't find anything to substantiate at this point.
